  • Microsoft to limit access to Office 11 - A representative acknowledged that Microsoft plans to offer the productivity suite, code-named Office 11, only for Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 and Windows XP. Microsoft started beta testing Office 11 last week, but some early participants found that they had been dropped from the program if they had planned to use older versions of Windows. They were dropped because Microsoft doesn't plan to offer Office 11 for Windows 98, 98 Second Edition, Me or NT. The Redmond, Wash.-based company already dropped support for Windows 95 with the release of Office XP in May 2001.

When connected, it appears on a computer's desktop as a removable hard drive, allowing people to drag and drop files for storage or to move them to another computer. When not in use, it fits easily into a shirt pocket.
  • Home robot can entertain the kids -  The robot uses the owner's home computer and Internet connection to answer questions or help a human shop online. All data transmissions between the machines are wireless, so the robot is still free to roam the house. The robot can also upload everything it hears and sees to the Internet. Say you're staying late at work and want to make sure your kids are doing their homework, Xie said. You can direct the robot around your house, find your kids and check up on them by viewing the robot's video online. hen the first batch of the robots is released next year they'll likely cost between $1,500 and $3,100.

To solve this problem Microsoft has created especially for New World Order and MS Combat Flight Simulator 3 a DirectX 8.1 patch (DirectPlay 8.2). The DirectPlay 8.2 beta patch (mirror) is set to expire on October 31, 2002 . However, the final release of the DirectPlay 8.2 patch will be available prior to this expiration date allowing plenty of time to upgrade the beta to the final release. DirectX 9 will also contain this patch." (thanks Warp2Search)

I don't like Real Player only due to the garbage they install on your system and all the settings they happen to mess up. WMP all the way! Wow, 65 percent drop in their share prices...hahahaha.

but now realplayer is open sourced, it's not going to be long till we see some stripped down real media player tho. Anyway, I think WiMP already won half of the battle with it bundled in every windows.

Your right Ritz, didn't think that with it open sourced that someone could provide us just the stuff we need and not the extraneous garbage. Well, I did like Real back when they first started streaming video....crude as it was back then, but still.
