This could be a little off topic from Microsoft week, but this proves how firefox is of use to me, changing my GPA. Now this is a little trick to make all your friends think you a brainac (if anyone uses that word still) when all you do is play Half-Life. Interested?

Microsoft IE7

March 8, 2006

I was late today…first day out of the whole year…oh well. A few days ago I downloaded IE7 (Internet Explorer 7) just to see if it compared to firefox…and….it didn’t. Sorry, MS. You can add extensions to Mozilla, but if they were put into IE, it’d be considered a security threat.

So what did I like about IE7?

Microsoft Codename Max

March 7, 2006

Today is my birthday.  So I brought a polaroid camera here to school.  And it’s great, I suppose, except the film was expensive.  Last night, I was looking for something, and I came across in a google search Microsoft Codename Max.  If you haven’t heard of it, it is basically a photo journal to share with all your family and friends in a nice and presentable way.  It is still beta, but its great anywho.

Microsoft Week

March 7, 2006

I should have probably put this on yesterday, but this week’s all about everyone’s semi-favorite (or completely not) company:  Microsoft.  I’ll be testing a variety of beta products online (such as IE7) and writing reviews.  They might be comparative reviews, proving why macs are superior (if that was every an issue) or why vista is worth waiting over.  Anyway, stick tight.  If any request, comment your heart out.

The “New” MacMini

March 2, 2006

I know it came out days ago, but I’m kinda in a dilemma about getting an Intel mac. First the iMac’s upped, then the extremely overpriced MacBook IMO, then this—the Mac Mini. I’m sorta satisfied with the price range: $599 and $899, but why would I buy a monitor from Apple? Aluminum is great, but more than the computer! I could use my TV, but then I’d have to get a wireless keyboard and mouse. Dell, for me, would be the way to go, especially with all those coupons I hear about on Engadget.

But should I go Intel?
