    i know eh

    -----------------------

    -Bloging..so apparently this is gettin quite popular...even more so than news papers. It seems society is quite interested in what random ppl have to say..about anything..as these bloogs can range from cheese to politics. Do you blog?..i know msn offers free bloging..hmph...
    -Seti...not new..but anybody uses it. Its basically an app that kicks in when ur pc is in sleep mode or not being used by a user and the idea is that through the internet all pcs that use seti are networked and all the processing power of these pcs are put to the serach for ufos. (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/)...search for ufo..pointless somewhat..but there are other versions out there that are used to find a cure for cancer.
    -P2P....we all know and use em..but careful now...you never know what you willbe getting. However, what p2p app do you use and how do you find it?
    -well...for all u cell lovers...this is quite interesting....Nokia Releases N91 Mobile Phone w/Hard Drive 4GB, Blue tooth, WiFi & USB 2....http://www.nokia.com/nseries/...hmph....

    XBOX 360!!!!!!!
    http://pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,120842,00.asp
    apparently launched last nite on mtv....
    "Powered by a custom-made IBM PowerPC-based three-core chip running at 3.2 GHz, and supported by 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM, the new Xbox should have enough oomph to keep up with even the zippiest current-day PC. Graphics performance should be stunning as well, powered by an ATI GPU running at 500 MHz, with 10 MB of embedded DRAM.

    The unit will ship with a 12X dual-layer DVD-ROM, three USB 2.0 ports, two memory-unit slots, and support for four wireless game controllers. It supports progressive-scan DVD movies and a slew of DVD and CD formats. Savvy users will be able to stream media from portable devices or Windows XP PCs and to rip music to the Xbox's detachable (and upgradeable) 20GB hard drive. For networking, the 360 includes a built-in ethernet port and support for 802.11 a, b, and g flavors of Wi-Fi."
    This thing is packed with features and damn good specs!


    Microsoft Antivirus
    "Microsoft is readying a new consumer security product that offers virus and spyware protection, a new firewall and several tune-up tools for Windows PCs, a move that pits the software giant squarely against traditional security software vendors. The product, dubbed Windows OneCare, will be tested internally at Microsoft starting this week. A public test, or beta, version is scheduled to be available by year's end, Microsoft said in a statement this week. The final product will be offered as a subscription service, the Redmond, Washington, software maker says."

    huh i thought 360 is coming out before ps3 and the revolution is coming out before it because nintendo felt they lost ground releasen the gamecube after the ps2. i also heard that ps3 would possibly come out like 2 years after the 360
