While looking around Youtube today, I found two videos that made me forget that it is almost impossible for me to get my own youtube channel off the ground.
The first video involves Apple slapping Windows around with an internet ad. It’s just like the TV ad’s, but only for your computer.
Microsoft Keepin’ Vista
by Oliver on May.07, 2009, under Operating Systems, Windows
A few days ago, Microsoft announced once Window’s 7 comes out, they will not be giving Vista the old heave-hoe. What was said by a spokeswomen was that “We have not made any final end-of-sales decisions for Windows Vista”. What was made clear was that once an operating system released, it is company policy to keep an OS in distribution for at least for years after its debut. So, since Vista was released back in January of 2007, it means that Vista will stick around until 2011. (continue reading…)

by Nick on Apr.28, 2009, under Applications, Macintosh, Snow Leopard

Hey guys, its my first blog post so I though I’d make it interesting ;). Apple has just released some info on their new OS X, Snow Leopard. At first looks it seems as if it’s just an addition to there current OS X, Leopard. Does the name hint at the future of it? I would have to say so. Snow Leopard isn’t getting all fancy-smanchy like with the jump from tiger to Leopard but instead will refine what great material they already have in front of them. (continue reading…)
Amalgam Illness & Fluoride Poisoning
by Samir on Apr.23, 2009, under Health & Medicine
Amalgam Illness
Amalgam Illness is one of the medical conditions that is often overlooked by medical professionals in today’s society. What exactly is amalgam? Amalgam is a substance made of nearly 50% mercury that is used in dental fillings in almost every dental practice today. How many people do you know that have fillings? The amount of people with amalgam fillings probably number in the thousands. It doesn’t have to even be from amalgam fillings that you have. The mercury poisoning can occur from amalgam vapors that are left in the air when the dentist has finished drilling out someone’s filling. There are so many syndromes today that physicians call ‘mystery syndromes’ and do not know how to treat at all. Some of these syndromes they classify as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, anorexia, and recurrent depression. I assure you that these are no mystery syndromes and are definitely mercury poisoning. To cure these syndromes and diseases, they must be treated as mercury poisoning because it is ineffective to treat them with the usual methods. (continue reading…)

Tux, The linux mascot
Many people really don’t know what Linux is but you will be surprised to know what it’s used for. If you have TIVO you have used a specially written Linux kernel.
