| Internet News-Microsoft withdraws offer for Yahoo |
| 2008-05-07 23:48:00 |
Micresoft Corporation walked away from its bid to buy Yahoo Inc on Saturday after the Internet Company turned down its offer to raise the price by $5 billion to $47.5 billion.Microsoft’s offer was for $33 a share but Yahoo would not lower its demand below $37, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said. The software company initially bid $31 per share for Yahoo more than three months ago.“We believe the economics demanded by Yahoo do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal,” Ballmer said in a statement.Analysts say Yahoo has overplayed its hand and they expect the Web pioneer’s...

| How SPAM got it's Name |
| 2008-05-04 23:25:00 |
30 YEARS OF JUNK IN YOUR INBOXThis week, the world will mark an anniversary that has changed the face of email inboxes the world over: the first known spam email was sent 30 years ago on Saturday.But the message sent on May 3, 1978, by a marketer for the now defunct DEC computer company, to around 400 people on the US west coast, wasn’t called spam and the sender had no ill intent. How things have changed.Spam got it’s name from a skit on TV show Monty Python’s Flying Circus, in which a group of Vikings in a restaurant that serves all of its food with spam tinned meat sing a song repeating the word ad nauseum, said Brad Templeton, who has researched the subject. “Thus, the meaning of the term: something that keeps repeating and repeating to great ann...

| Windows XP Going Off Market In June-What it means |
| 2008-04-23 12:58:00 |
Microsoft originally announced over a year ago that Windows XP would be going off the market in January 2008. XP was later given a brief stay of execution, to June 30, 2008. That deadline is fast approaching, which has led to much panicking from people who aren't quite sure what XP's "going off market" means, exactly. People are still as confused as ever. So let's take a stab at clarifying, once again, what's going to happen by answering some frequently asked questions about XP's imminent disappearance.Will Windows XP really no longer be on sale after June 30?Sorry for the double negative, but no. All this means is that Microsoft will stop selling the OS. Finding a computer with XP preinstalled will likely be very difficu...

This is for those who watch movies on their computer's dvd rom drive!!!There is a software called dvd idle pro which can really increase the life of your dvd drive.By using the Smart Read-ahead Cache, DVD Idle saves DVD data which will be played soon onto the hard disk cache or RAM cache, and then feeds it to DVD player.
