Time Warner Giving out TV via PC

Yes this is true. Time Warner Cable is giving people in San Diego Cable 75 cable channels via Personal Computer. If it goes right this may change how we view watch TV in the future.
Its already available now. They have been selling for a while now dual monitors that you can watch television and use it for your computer as well. But the prices I believe are too high now. Maybe it vendors start lowering the prices then consumers will catch on to this phase. Stay tune and pray that this goes national soon.

Microsoft Pirated CD's

Yes if your one of the millions of people who have Microsoft pirated CD's.
These are your alternatives.
1- Disable Windows update - If you don't your windows operating system will be locked. And you will not be able to sign on to your computer again. Losing your valuable data. Because the only real way out is to buy a license version of windows or reformat your hard drive again.
2- Window has been telling us for years that they were going to lock people out of their pc's if they have pirated software. Guess what they're doing it now.
3- If you bought a pc from a vendor and windows is telling you that you have a pirated windows license. Windows will give you a new license. But here's the catch. You have to rat out on the vendor or individual who sold you that computer.
The task from what I hear is tedious but for a free license that's what you have to do.

RIAA

What is the RIAA and why should you who they are?
In plain English, it's the records industries association. You probably heard them in the past on suing people for downloading illegal music via the internet.
I don't discourage downloading music because it's the new technology. I do however caution users on downloading music files online. If your doing it. Be careful. The RIAA are out there and they are monitoring you. They make believe there some innocent user who has a music library and when you download your favorite music file, they got you. How they do it from what I hear is that they grab your IP address from your file sharing software your using to download music. Depending on how many copyright songs you have downloaded from them, or depending how many illegal downloads they find from your IP address. They eventually sue you for the amount of copyright songs you have downloaded.
The sad thing is that the one's being sued are children under the age of 18 and the parents are the one's paying the bills. It's unfair for this to happen. But the RIAA cares not. And in most cases they just settle out of court, like always. I have yet to hear a case where someone who downloaded illegal music continued with there lawsuit. Everyone is just pleading guilty and paying penalties.
My belief is that if you want to download music do so, if you want to buy the CD or music do so. But why should these people be penalized for technology which is changing the world of music. It's not our fault that someone put music and technology and the internet all together. The record industry should take a different approach and some how profit in on music downloads instead going after innocent individuals. We should just boycott buying any music at all and then I bet the RIAA would change it's mind about suing. How's that boycott concept for you(the RIAA)?

Microsoft Vista

Microsoft new operating system Loghorn is now called Microsoft Vista.
From the look of it. It's in Beta Version now. It has lot's of changes from the control panel to the Internet Explorer browser which has tab browsing.
The setup looks simple. Hopefully there will not be too many bugs to patch upon upgrade. But I will hold off on it for another year after everything settles.
In the past I've learned the good and bad things about having the latest operating system on your personal computer.
The good is that you get everything first and your problems that you discover will be along with others who have the same problem.
The bad is that it's often to buggy and you can't get all of your old software to work with it. It's a pain, because you have to upgrade everything to work with the new operating system. And even if you get it to work. It will be a while before the first service pak comes out. This just cases more problems than you had before and when you think about it. You are fustrated because the operating system does not work the way you wished it work. So if I were you I would hold off until the first service pak comes out. And then hopefully your PC can handle the new operating system.
For now check out the Microsoft Vista and installation snapshots.
