Got really bored and decided to reinstall my Windows7 on my HP Probook notebook. Fairly an easy operation, half an hour to install Windows, half an hour to install all other software and tweak it the way I like it. And while doing it I realized Windows is a piece of crap OS. It really […]

Apple just release the new OSX titled Maverick for free. I was expecting a move like this from Microsoft. Because their real business is Office, not Windows. Windows is just a window to doing a lot of things. And now is the time, with the PC market going down. 

I feel sorry for Microsoft sometimes. Ok, not really. They used to be this big big bully that scared everyone and now is this big bully that plays alone on a playground, while all the other people moved to another one. I like how their closed ecosystem they loved so much 10 years ago is […]

Steve Ballmer announced his retirement. People cheered. Stocks grew by 8%. Microsoft’s business model was simple so far: computer processors are getting speedier, let’s make Windows use more resources so people would buy new computers, new Windows and Office licenses. Pretty good plan. The love chain broke in 2008, because of Vista and the economic […]

There are three important things to note in the past few days. Erich Schmidt from Google saying that by 2020 every human on the planet will be online. Sure, this is not going to happen, and people cited lack of water or electricity, but he is on to something: it is easier to be online […]

I really hope the great blogging tool Windows Live Writer will get better over time. Here’s my wish list, in case anybody from Microsoft is listening: fixing the jpg-png transformation bug an option for a cropped thumbnail. an option for choosing my own thumbnail name. wordpress has the -100×100.jpg naming system, wlw has -150×150.jpg system. […]

You nkow all about the war. Everybody does. So, my point is simple: Google created some random queries with bogus results and feed them to Microsoft via it’s toolbar. Google » bogus results. Google » handpicked results. Google just admited it fixes search results. Simple.  Of course, not all the time. Of course, never, they […]

I’ve reported this problem to Microsoft, but it will probably take another 2 to 6 months before i get an answer. The answer is simple: wlw checks for an exif. If he finds one, the image is a JPEG, so he leaves it alone. If he doesn’t, he assumes it’s a PNG, so he transforms […]
