I just thought I’d share these for anyone who wants to change the sounds for starting and exiting Windows. These are the ones that I always use.

Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) is the next version of Microsoft Windows and the successor to Windows Vista.Microsoft stated in 2007 that it is “scoping Windows 7 development to a three-year timeframe”, and that “the specific release date will ultimately be determined by meeting the quality bar. While officially Microsoft has stated that Windows 7 will be released by January 2010, which is three years after Vista was shipped, the company has indicated that it plans to release Windows 7 in mid-2009, in time for installation in PCs that will ship for the Christmas 2009 buying season. read more

Is MySpace selling my email address?

October 27, 2008 · 34 Views · Filed Under General · Comment 

This morning, while I was playing around on MySpace, I noticed a new banner image at the top of the page.

Acai Berry banner

I’m not sure why it got my attention, but it did. Maybe it was flashing or something. Anyways… After a few minutes I checked my Hotmail account (same as MySpace login). I noticed an email with this subject line: “Flush Out 20 Pounds with Acai Berry”. The email was from acaiberry@AIDENTOKEN.COM. So, I went to aidentoken.com to see what it was. This was their homepage:

I wonder if MySpace is one of their “partners”?

As you may or may not know, October is national breast cancer awareness month. I know I’m a few days late, but I just found this image today and I thought it deserved to be posted.

Homepage Advertising - MySpace Vs. Facebook

October 15, 2008 · 67 Views · Filed Under General · Comment 

This morning, when I went to check my Facebook account, I noticed that there’s a really big difference between MySpace’s homepage and Facebook’s homepage. When comparing the two pages, the first thing I noticed on MySpace’s homepage was the ginormous flash commercial that spanned the width of the layout. There’s also many smaller ads tucked away throughout the page. On Facebook’s homepage, there doesn’t seem to be any advertising at all. Facebook’s homepage doesn’t require any vertical scrolling either when viewing as 1024×768. Check out the screenshots below:

Let’s play a game… Click on the MySpace screenshot and see if you can count the number of advertisements. Post your guess as a comment.
