Ballmer unable to rid PC of spyware after 2 days
Posted by Thomas on 05 Jun 2006 | Tagged as: Digg Links
Now, some of you know I’ve become somewhat of an ‘Apple Zealot’ lately. And this article shows why:
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer attempts to remove some spyware from a friend’s machine, and after 2 days, gives up. He then passed the PC over to a group of top Microsoft engineers and they failed as well.
I’ve had 3-4 family friends, and a few teachers at my wife’s work want me to remove spyware off their computer. All Windows XP.
The number of times I’ve had a call from the family members that have spyware with their Mac? zero. I think that really means something.
Been busy..

So, if you didn’t notice, I made a few changes to the site.
First, I updated the Gallery, so it’s looking a little different. No new pictures yet, but the software is better, so I can do more stuff now.
Second, yeah, I change the colors and formatting around a little. I’ll probably tweak it a little more, but at least it’s different.
Peace out.

The same physiological responses that trigger a smoker’s craving may also be at work in the brains of people who spend a lot of time playing video games.

Arizona - Hotter and Drier in 50-60 years… (Along with Rest of the USA)
Posted by Thomas on 08 Nov 2005 | Tagged as: Digg Links
As if Arizona couldn’t get hotter & drier, it’s going to happen. Maybe considered a ‘duh’, but when you think about the growth that AZ is seeing, it’s a little scary. Also talks about how in general, the rest of the US will see hotter temps, as well. At least it’s a dry heat, I guess.

Okay.. This is pretty cool. By using the FAA’s Flight Data of flights throughout the US, and using Adobe After Effects and/or Maya, they created some very spiffy visuals. It’s amazing how many flights are in the air at any one time.
