If you haven't check out Google RSS reader your missing out on Google best. You sign up, add your favorite RSS web sites and let Google do the rest because everything is web based. I've used other sites like FeedBlitz but it later came with a price. My theory is why pay for something that you can get for free. And this is why Google Reader is still my number one choice. Check it out and you will not be disappointed.

Windows 7 Release date
The Windows 7 Release date is set for October 22. I just hope that Microsoft doesn't decide to change that date.
What's great about it is that it's near the Holidays so it would be a great time to buy. If your currently running Vista, your better off just holding off and wait until prices drop.

IE 8 changes download to six
When compared to previous version of Internet Explorer the normal standard download limit was set to two. With Internet Explorer 8 it changes the limit to six. So now you can have more than two multiple downloads downloading at the same time. Great fix from Microsoft, but it should have been done a long time ago.
Here also you can find the registry fix to correct this. Just backup your registry and be very careful.
