Google goes Wifi

News is that Google looks like it's going to go Wifi. They are seeking to get into the service provider business. I don't know if that's a good stand for Google. But hey you never know. I hope that whatever they choose to do. They know when enough is enough and hopefully they'll get out of the business if enough profits are not being generated.
Google you should learn from rivals like Microsoft and American Online. They're making no money now and they are struggling to be on top. Google stay unique and try not to get into too many sectors. Because this will be your down fall.

What's the Big Deal on Zabra Search

The big deal about Zabra search is public domain. What happens is that if someone types a first and last name. They can easily find your address and telephone number.
Many people are upset about this because they feel like their privacy are violated.
Hello the telephone company has been doing this for years. If they are not going to get the information from the Zabra search site they are going to get this information from some where else. Go figure why they're upset, when this is been available for years, ever hear of 411 - information or the White Pages. Just because certain information in not given to the entire public does not mean they don't have access to it. Public domain is public domain.
I have a good example for you. Let's say you type in Bill Gates. Well Bill Gates is really William Gates. And guess what he's not on the listing. So what does that tell you. The information is only available for certain individuals.

Before I even played the video I was like so what. Afterwards I was like wow.

The new 64 bit Series

If your not aware you now are that the reason for all the sudden price changes in current personal computers is because their are a new series of computers on the way which are the 64 bit computers.
What's the difference with current computer 32 bit and 64 bit computer?
Well for now it's not much a big difference because they hardly have any good software's out for 64 bit yet - just that your screen display will be quite smaller than usual when viewing icons. But eventually the personal computers today will look very different later on with software upgrades to 64 bit. For now save your money and wait until everything is finalized and settled.
If you want to jump on the band wagon and get a 64 bit personal computer now, beware. They have hardly any software that support 64 bit applications.
What that means is that you could have a new powerful personal computer with useless applications because the current 32 bit computers are hardly compatible to the new 64 bit PC's. So waiting is an economical choice.
Here are a few links for various support to 64 bit products:
Amd


Also if you have a current windows XP Pro computer and you are upgrading to 64 bit. Good news. Microsoft will let you upgrade your PC to 64 bit. But they're is no upgrade for user with Windows Home edition. Here is their link:
Microsoft 64 bit

Microsoft AntiSpyware

I was advised a while back on Microsoft new AntiSpyware application. Even though its in BETA version its worth to check out and try. I hope Microsoft will incorporate this product in its operating system like most of the other products it already has.
It's pretty great. With Eraser tracks it can clear up your history on your computer so that no one can tell what you were doing on that personal computer. Pretty cool for a beta version.

Note: Per a blog article on 9/19 beware of this product. It apparently can damage your personal computer configurations. It removed Internet Explorer which the program considered as spyware. So even though it seems to be a good product I would suggest you keep an eye on it and wait until it comes out of beta version.
