Preview the App Store in a browser

Well this is pretty cool, you can now view applications from the App Store within a browser. When you click a link to an app you will now be taken to the details page rather than to the page to download iTunes. You can now read the full game description, see the screenshots and check out the full price without having iTunes installed. You can’t buy anything, but it does make things a whole lot easier. And you don’t need to make any changes to the link. Any previously created links will direct to the preview page automatically. Pretty cool! Check out the link below to see NFL 2010 in your browser.

Former Microsoft VP Dick Brass weighs in on why Microsoft ‘no longer brings us the future’

It’s a sad tale, if you hear Dick Brass tell it. In a new op-ed for the New York Times, the former Microsoft VP explains how he thinks the Microsoft corporate culture has "never developed a true system for innovation," and that while the company is obviously strong at the moment, he doesn’t see the company retaining its dominance if or when the Office and Windows revenues die down. Former Microsoft VP Dick Brass weighs in on why Microsoft ‘no longer brings us the future’ And here’s Microsoft snappy retort to the chidings of Dick Brass. Quite honestly, it’s a pretty weak rebuttal. I don’t think OneNote proves they understand Tablets (lest we forget Microsoft tried the Tablet market in 2001 and failed miserably). And yes ClearType is installed on millions of machines, but that wasn’t the point. It could have been out the door several years earlier. Measuring Our Work by Its Broad Impact

How to get rid of IE6, the easy way

Ignoring the fact that this guy is an idiot, a zealot and has obviously never worked in a true IT shop and done a deployment, I agree with his statement that IE6 needs to be eradicated. Five cures for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 ills Not only is IE6 a horrible browser with more bugs than a Thai bath house, it has problems rendering all but the most simplistic of web pages, hasn’t been updated in years and is perhaps one of the slowest pieces of software out there. But yet, it’s still hanging on. For some reason, people are reluctant to put this creature to bed. Considering the upgrade is free, this level of stupidity boggles the mind. You will never convince me there is a business reason to keep IE6 around. However, I have a much simpler and much faster way to get rid of IE6; put a script on Google, Yahoo and Bing that detects IE6, informs the […]

This is really a cool game, and here’s a way to buy the whole bundle at once, rather than piecemeal like it’s done on the iPhone. I think I’m more inclined to get this complete version.

New puzzles are unlocked by building contraptions quickly and efficiently. Download Cogs from Direct2Drive Cogs Download Features Inventor Mode: Starting with simple puzzles, players are introduced to the widgets that are used to build machines — gears, pipes, balloons, chimes, hammers, wheels, props, and more.
