ONCE upon a time the world was only in black and white so we only needed a black and white TV to see it in all its glory. Then just after we got rid of the old money someone changed everything into colour and we needed new colour tellies to enjoy this new world. I think that’s how it went, it was before my time, nearly. Anyway since then just when we have worked out how to tune in our new TV someone tells us we need a different one with a new type of display. And now it’s happening again with LED television.
Digital News - Now we have Windows “Phone.” Coming soon Microsoft is launching a radically new user interface for its smart phone software. The change in name from Windows Mobile to Windows ‘Phone’ coincides with a new approach to navigation. It has panes which you can slide around the screen rather than the windows we are used to opening and closing. Faster to use and more intuitive it’s a bold move by Microsoft and looks set to sell well.
When I started messing around with computers all the software you needed to run the thing were on a few floppy disks. When it invariably crashed you just re installed everything and did as much work as you could until the next time. This was normally because the operating system software was frankly not quite stable enough for the job. Mac users I am sure will be writing in to say not with theirs.

Apple introduced iPad, a revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more. iPad's responsive high-resolution Multi-Touch display lets users physically interact with applications and content. It is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds— thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook. It includes 12 new innovative applications designed especially for the iPad, and will run almost all of the over 140,000 apps in the App Store. Apple’s new piece of kit will be available in late March in the US starting at the 499 dollars.
IF you buy a computer down here be aware that it will probably be in Spanish and most of the big stores are too busy to help you get it running in English. There is a solution though. With Windows Vista and Windows 7 you can change the display language. It depends a bit on which version you have.
WHEN Santa comes this year with a bit of luck you might just receive a nice 780,000 euro stereo. Not a misprint. That’s seven hundred and eighty thousand euros to listen to Madonna. Well maybe you might be into classical or jazz as well at that price.
MOST people have heard about not leaving their television on standby when they do go to bed. Instead of just turning it off with the remote actually turn it completely off using the power button on the set itself. Fair enough but one device that is a little more problematic is your satellite receiver. With most of these the off switch just puts the thing into standby. They still use power. Many are actually hot when you put your hand on them in the morning when they have been on standby all night.
Did my Trojan horse catch a virus from the worm in my spam?
Is it all Greek to you when it comes to computer infections? If you have a computer then you need protection. But what should you use. Viruses, Trojan horses, worms and malware are all basically software that get into your computer, either by tricking you into downloading it, disguised as a music file or a document, or worse still by sneaking in invisibly. Once in they can let hackers see your private data and also stop your machine working properly. Sometimes terminally.
