The digsby development team managed to push one massive update today adding a number of features and fixing bugs in their instant messaging application. The result? A much faster build that had me staring at my desktop for a full thirty seconds after launch.
Earlier builds took their time launching Digsby, taking somewhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. After installing the latest build, it just zipped through the launch process leaving me to wonder if I was seeing things or not. Digsby booted up in less than five seconds
Firefox 3.5 is nearing it’s inevitable release (currently at Release Candidate 2) and I’m getting the chills at what the new version has to offer. Sure there’s tons of bug and problem fixes but there’s quite a few features that you’d really want to check out. Here’s a quick rundown.
So how much portable storage is enough? 8GB? 16GB? 32GB? How about a whopping 128GB? Kingston claims it’s the first to reach that huge amount of space in portable storage. But really, who care about first right? What matters is that 128GB number.
Now enough geekism. The DT200 (short for DataTraveler 200) also offers password protection to help secure important files.
Chrome’s UI simply broke general tabbing for me. It was simply awesome. You can tear off (yeah, that’s how Google calls it) one tab from one window and attach it to another one making tab organization a cinch.
Firefox 3.5 is getting tab tearing too but if you want it right now for your browser or any of your Windows applications for that matter, you can install WindowTabs.

Due to EU’s ruling and Microsoft’s avoidance of further anti-trust pokings, Windows 7 E (that’s the version of Windows 7 for EU) will ship to EU without and OS. OEMs like Dell, hp, Asus, Acer, etc can add any browser they deem necessary but by default, there won’t be any browser included when Windows 7 starts shipping.
We’re committed to launching Windows 7 on time in Europe, so we need to address the legal realities in Europe, including the risk of large fines.

So what’s the issue?
And that doesn’t mean your LAN connection. Globe is bringing fiber-to-the-home technology via GPON or the Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network. Hyper-Speed Plans greatly exceed current ones which will range from a download speed of 10Mbps all the way up to 100Mbps.
100Mbps. Yes, it’s the same speed your Ethernet (not the Gigabit one) is connected.
Western Digital updates it’s My Book Studio Edition with a huge update, 4Terabytes huge to be exact. That amount of storage computes to 1,540 DVD movies, 800,000 digital photos or one million MP3 music files.
As with it’s earlier model, the My Book Studio Edition II uses two internal drives. You can configure them to RAID 0 for maximum storage or RAID 1 (or up to 5 if you like) for reliability.
Microsoft has announced that Windows 7 will be commercially available on October 22nd, 2009. Vista will still be sold via retail but when you opt to buy a pre-built computer, a notebook or a netbook, you’ll get Windows 7 by default. Despite what the internet tells you, there will be just three editions of Windows 7 to choose from when you’re buying the OS: Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate.
Still waiting for an official announcement, the Sony PSP Go is the newest version of the PlayStation portable hardware. And yes, even if it’s still to be officially announce, it’s already been receiving complaints by the bulk load.
