Your Zune Might be Temporarily Broke - 12/31/08 01:43 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Your Zune Might be Temporarily Broke






You may or may not have seen some recent articles mentioning Zune's that seem to be malfunctioning at an alarming rate. So far there doesn't seem to be a clear answer as to why this is happening but there is some speculation that it is caused by a recent firmware update. There is no fix either at this moment.


Here are some articles explaining it more:

Top Social Media Websites of 2008 - 12/31/08 01:05 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate The results are interesting. Blogger.com ranks number one in overall traffic with Facebook and Myspace in 2nd and 3rd. The numbers don't include December of course since that month isn't over yet... almost! You can check that stuff out here with all sorts of charts.


Another interesting thing to look at is how the search engines themselves ranked and you can see that here.

I am sure many of you have noticed that Google recently updated the page ranks. For many of us this saw a higher page rank and in some cases a much higher PR! But what does PR really matter anyways, what we are really after is results right? Check out this forum entry here if you want to see what I mean because PR isn't always what its cracked up to be.

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate That question is probably something that you don't normally ask yourself when you own a business. But in the age of technology and computers this is something to seriously consider. According to this story a man in Winnipeg had $52,000 added to his bill after a hacker(s) gained control of his voice mail. While this seems out of the norm it actually seems very easy to do and it doesn't look like most phone systems have any sort of prevention for this sort of thing.

Big Science: Baby to be Born Without Gene for Breast Cancer - 12/27/08 03:37 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate

I know everyone gets freaked out when it comes to genetics. I frankly don't see why. Yes we can manipulate genes and it works great. There are ethical issues involved such as creating monsters, super human soldiers, and countless other scenarios that people have been dreaming up since work first began in this field. But I think most people can see the practical applications that are involved.


In the case of this story it is rather urgent that something be done about breast cancer. “Women in three generations of her husband's family … (0 comments)

Big Changes Hopefully Coming Soon to Battery Life of I-Phone, Blackberries and Others - 12/27/08 03:28 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate

A Canadian student at Carleton University in Canada has developed a very revolutionary prototype that significantly increases battery life in popular phones and I would think could see its way into other devices as well. The problem with these devices is a significant portion of energy is wasted transferring through wires. So what did he do different? Got rid of the wires! By putting a wireless transmitter in the device it seems to save a tremendous amount of energy and works great so far.

New York's Lights Getting Even Brighter and Cheaper and Greener! - 12/27/08 03:19 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate I came across this article and thought it was pretty interesting. I think changing out city lights for LED lights makes perfect sense. Not only will it pay for itself it will save the environment by using less energy. The bulbs also last longer. Now if we could only swap them out for solar lights maybe I would be even more enthusiastic. Maybe they can be converted later once the technology gets better?

If you have something to say please leave a comment. I will try to comment on your blog as well.

Mozilla (Firefox) Having Issues With Google Chrome - 12/27/08 03:12 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate The problem Mozilla is having with Google specifically is competition with it's new browser, Chrome. You see, “Mozilla is dependent on Google for the vast majority of its revenue and has previously worked closely with the search king's engineers on the development of Firefox.” With Firefox taking 1/5 of the world's browser users things could really heat up. With no financial backing the company would seem doomed. It will be interesting to see what happens but I really wouldn't want to see anything happen to Firefox.

Students Prank Teachers Big Time - 12/27/08 03:01 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate I came across this article the other day. Apparently high school students in Maryland are faking out traffic cameras using their teachers' license plate information on the cars and purposely speeding past the cameras. What this does is automatically send a ticket to the offending plate owner and the cameras cant seem to tell the difference between a real plate and the faked ones. All it takes is some glossy paper.


To me this not only shows traffic cameras do little or nothing to actually enforce laws, they seem more harm than good. Personally … (7 comments)

As often as people say that I wonder how different things really are than they were not so long ago. Sure technology has evolved but are we really any different than a generation ago? What's funny is how people get nostalgic about times past and often insist that somehow people were nicer and that things were better. Often people refer to the 50's as a … (0 comments)

You can read more about it here. How much of a difference can a simple font make?

You or Your Browser is Insecure... Firefox: Very Risky Part 1 - 12/17/08 02:31 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Firefox has been gaining quite a reputation and quite a following. Recently it was reported that Firefox is taking a 20% market share for browsers. What this means in terms of security is that “This gives it a high profile and leaves it a desirable target to be exploited by hackers and malware writers. Worse yet, it has less money to fund security efforts that Microsoft, and according to some experts, less focus as well.”


This might mean a risk to your computer. But really how can you know? I guess the point is … (3 comments)

Recession to Trigger Boom in BlackHat and Malware? - 12/15/08 01:16 PM
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Eau Claire Wisconsin Realtor® Everyone knows, or should know, there is a direct correlation between poverty levels and crime. Basically the answer to crime is to raise up income levels and we would see a drastic decline in most crimes. That probably won't stop the crimes going on in our government, wall street or white collar crimes in general but since when does our society treat those types of crimes as crimes? After all, you don't see anyone in jail after all the recent criminal activity on wall street.

I am not going to get into extensive scientific explanations but if you think climate change is whether its cold out one day or not then you don't even understand the most basic concepts of climate change and definitely cant make an informed opinion one way or the other.


Can they prove there is a 100% positive connection between rising CO2 levels and climate change?


No.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

One of the persistent fears regarding Internet content is that the nature of web popularity will create a "rich get richer" situation, in which a limited number of sites wind up attracting the vast majority of web traffic and links. This position of dominance would then attract inbound links to create a "Googlearchy," in which their popularity starts a self-reinforcing cycle.
