Windows XP going away today . . . but not really
Today's a landmark for Windows XP, a.k.a The OS That Would Not Die. Microsoft will stop allowing big-name PC makers to sell new machines with Windows XP pre-installed and activated. After almost 7 years, Windows XP is finally beginning to wind down.
Except, those who insist on Windows XP will still be able to get it in a variety of ways, and support will continue through 2014. Even Microsoft, not known for tongue-in-cheek marketing statements, is calling XP's slow fade a "long good-bye."
For example, if a PC maker bought a bunch of copies of Windows XP prior to today, it may continue to sell systems with those copies installed. The same goes for retailers -- if there are cases of XP in the back room, those can still be sold to customers who want them.
PC makers can also sell you a computer with XP on it if the machine originally had either Windows Vista Business or Ultimate installed. You can "downgrade" to XP, but it will likely cost you. Dell, for example, is charging $50 to downgrade selected PCs to XP.
You'll also be able to buy Windows XP-based computers from smaller companies that build so-called "white box" systems through the end of Jan. 31, 2009. And you can buy a "system builder" copy of Windows XP -- sometimes called the "OEM version" -- for computers you build yourself.
Finally, brand-name PC makers are still allowed to sell XP on low-cost, low-power systems that, in theory, wouldn't be able to handle the demands of Windows Vista. That will continue until June of 2010.
In short, you can get Windows XP if you really want it. But my advice is this: If you're buying a new, brand-name PC now, at least give Windows Vista a try.
Live with it for a couple of weeks before going through the hassle of downgrading -- which will involve acquiring a copy of XP, reformatting the drive and installing the older OS, then finding drivers for all the machine's components, which may not be easy to do. Vista with SP1 is a decent OS on new, powerful hardware running modern software. Give it a shot before you give up on it.

Mac OS X 10.5.4 update
A little more than a month since the last major update for Leopard was released, Apple has just burped forth Mac OS X 10.5.4.
Run Software Update to grab it. At this writing, it has not yet shown up on Apple's downloads page. [See Update 2.0 below.]
It is not as big as previous updates to Leopard. On my MacBook, it came in at only 59 megabytes.
And its list of fixes is relatively modest:
General
- Includes recent Apple security updates.
- Resolves an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server.
- Includes additional RAW image support for several cameras.
- Addresses an issue that may result in a partially installed X11 application.
- Improves L2TP VPN client reliability.
AirPort
- Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.
- Addresses AirPort issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.
iCal
- Improves overall iCal reliability for meeting requests, cancellation notices, delegation, and syncing with iPhone.
- Resolves an issue that prevents deleting an iCal event without notifying the creator.
- Addresses an issue in which events in all calendars affect availability. A checkbox now enables information-only calendars to be transparent from free/busy lookups.
- Resolves a UI issue preventing delegated calendars from showing up as a separate window.
- Addresses an issue with copying and pasting attendees from one event to another.
- Resolves an issue in which iCal may not delete events after a specified time interval, even when set to do so in iCal preferences.
- Addresses an issue in which To Dos cannot be marked private.
Safari
- Addresses a potential performance issue when loading secure web pages.
- Resolves issues that may be encountered when accessing secure web pages with client certificates that reside on a smart card.
Spaces and Exposé
- Addresses an issue in which switching from a space with a Finder window keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space.
- Fixes an issue in which dragging an application from the list of application assignments in Spaces System Preferences does not assign the application to the desired space.
- Resolves an Exposé issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.
It also includes more than a dozen security patches.
Do it big.

Very helpful tool.
For all of you XBOX 360 owners i want to recommend you a small gadget. It is called intercooler. It is external fans that are mounted on the back of your console. Three fans brining extra cool air for your console. It is extremely valuable tool if you want to minimize the chance of overheating. It is very easy to install. And probably the coolest thing of all is that it does not need extra source of power. It is good especially right now. The summer is coming and the temperatures are rising very fast.
Here is the features list:
Powered by Xbox 360 console, no extra AC adapter needed
Snap-on assembly for easy installation, no tools required.
Increases air flow and reduces heat throughout the Xbox 360
Improved protection for internal circuitry
Enhanced performance for your Xbox 360
Cooler Temperatures mean extended life and reliability
Fits in entertainment centers with the console in either the horizontal or vertical direction
Auto or manual power on and off.
Now I must stay up till whatever time Xbox 800 number offices are open to get a box to send it out in. This is not looking well since I feel this may make me miss playing the Halo 3 Beta.
Any suggestions? Im thinking of going to Costco and buying a 360, only to return it when I get mine back from Microsoft. A little unethical? How do people feel about the “towel trick”?
The Red Ring of Death…Cure Found! May 13th, 2007 by PacoDG So, in an earlier post I stated my Xbox 360 had a “Red Ring of Death.” As I posted and worried in many forums, Destructoid, hell, even the official Xbox forums. Choices were coming down to ending up selling it off used @ $150 and using the money to get a new Core system, then mention of the towel trick came up. I remember a while ago reading about someone thinking about using the Towel Trick, a great user on DToid named Grim. At this point, I was willing to try anything (it had only been a day without my 360, and already I was getting the shakes)
What you need to know is never buy used consoles!
