If you're running the Beta 2 build of Office you probably want to patch it with the Technical Refresh Microsoft just released a few hours ago, especially if you're running Windows Vista. Some improvements include:
Improved support for the minimized Ribbon Visual redesign of the "Northwest" corner of the programs Double-click the Office Button to close the window Silver color scheme Redesign of the PowerPoint Home tab Improvements to default styles for all objects...
I just came across a website with this "writer" doing a couple of articles about Windows Vista's new feature called User Account Control (UAC). I won't bother to link to the site itself as the guy is clearly just trying to get people to visit by making incoherent arguments against UAC.
I say, I say, I say…when is an administrator not an administrator? When they’re a Vista administrator!
ROLFMAO.
WTF!? Sorry mate on Windows Vista with UAC enabled, administrators have administrator rights (limited users need to provide an admin user and password), they just need to press "...
The Daily Creationism:
At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant the Bible spoke of the earth's free fload in space: "He... hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7). Science didn't discover that the earth hangs upon nothing until 1650.
Nice try, but very dishonest of you. Some fragments that survived the burning of the Great Library showed scientists knew the Earth was spherical, a chap called Eratosthenes worked that out and its size in the 3rd century BC (the bible speaks of it as if it is flat), hypothesised that the planets were other worlds and that they all travelled around the Sun in space and that other stars were suns far far away....
Microsoft have now released the final major pre-release of Windows Vista to people in the Customer Preview Program. It will be available to non CPP (those who didn't get Beta 2) in the coming weeks, those that used Beta 2 can use their existing key on RC1. Or it can be installed for 14 days with no key, after which you'll be prompted to enter the key and activate.
My few words of advice from using it for the last week:...
The Daily Creationism:
Sir Isaak Newton
The traditional spelling is Isaac, I don't know why you use a K? Trying to make him seem more evil?
studied light and discovered that white light is made of seven colors, which can be "parted" from white
Errr... Kinda, he discovered white light is made from a complete spectrum of coloured light.
and then recombined to make white again. Science discovered this in 1650....
You know what I'm sick of? Tory scum. Oh wait, I was sick of them before. But now I'm even more sick of them, their opportunism has no limits.
Check this guy out some MEP, elected for scare mongering most likely.
North West MEP David Sumberg is urging Europe's top bureaucrat Romano Prodi to bin lyrics for a European anthem with Federalist overtones.
Yeah... What lyrics for the anthem? There has never been any official proposal to have lyrics for the anthem of the European Union....
A lot of talk is going on about the current lack of support for syncing Pocket PCs and Smartphones with Outlook on Windows Vista, this post is to clear up some of the confusion.
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) in the final version of Windows Vista will be automatically downloaded from Windows Update when you plug your device in. This application will replace Active Sync.
The story so far...
Beta 2 (5384) was the only public version of Windows Vista so far to contain this functionality, and it was limited – only supporting Windows Mobile 5 devices....
EA have got Joe Kucan back to play Kane in Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars. Let's face it a C&C game set in the tiberium universe just wouldn't be right without the Messiah, err Kane.
Now I just hope they improve the FMV sequencies, in Tiberian Sun (and even more so in Red Alert 2 *pukes*) they were awful. I actually played the original Command and Conquer for a few hours last night (yes it runs on Windows Vista)....
Get it right here.

My old friend (he doesn't seem to use his name) from the Daily Creationism is back! He asks do we see evolution happening?
In brief, no. We see changes in living things, but none of them are heading in the right "direction". Wow! He says it all in his first line. We see changes in living things. Thank you.
Oh wait "direction"? What direction? Evolution isn't some god thing where everything leads to this creature created in god's image, also known as man....
