Eventually Windows Will Have Voice Recognition

8. September, 2011

At least for a couple of days until children start to run through the cube farms screaming at the top of their lungs: “Format C: Yes!”


Finally: M$ Improves File Operations

1. September, 2011

Good things need time. Even if they hurt you every day. File operations (copy, move, delete) on Windows are such a pain.

The damn thing takes half an hour to found out how many files to delete and then deletes them in a couple of seconds. Or the old joke “How long will it take?” Or copying two folders with the same name over each other (computer experts call that “merging”).

Well, M$ listened (they always do – they just rarely care) and after only … calculating … 29 years, they’re going to fix it! Yay ^_^

PS: Linux does it this way since a couple of years. Not sure about Mac. So another thing that M$ reluctantly “invented” after everyone else had it for years.

Some messages you don’t want to hear from a software installer:

“Found credit card number … placing orders for other products you need … making room on your hard drive …”

From this old Dilbert strip.


Amazing Example What Web Comics Could Be

6. August, 2011

Turbo Defiant Kimecan” is a web comic which breaks some new ground. It takes advantage of the web, it’s slightly interactive to emphasize the story. Very impressive. And the drawing style is awesome, too.

Remember the C64 and it’s CPU, the 6510?

There is a web project which shows a 6502/10 CPU simulator (in which you can see the die and how it’s state changes as a program is executed). Needs HTML5 and lots of RAM.
