In this past month, these things have happened:
1. They said that UAC had been designed to annoy users;
2. Windows Vista is a work in progress;
3. They made that horrible Windows Vista SP1 video;
4. Dell continues XP sales and Microsoft counts them as Vista sales;
5. Thousands of IIS Web Servers hacked…

I had a couple more things in mind. I'm forgetting them.

It really isn't a great month for Microsoft.

1. They need to shut up. Although it might be a strategy to get developers on the right track but why in the hell they are saying that crap to public?

2. Fire Ballmer

3. Nah, that's OK. It's just made by employees for fun.

4. Dell gives away XP licence with Vista Business Laptops, AFAIK.

5. Well it happens

Just read my article on MacUser at 12:30 am today and you'll know what I'm referring to. (Or I'll post a link to it here tomorrow morning.)

Ah the fastest iMac seems to be really really fast. 3Ghz CPU is just pure awesome.

And note that the RAM has also been upgraded. That is, speedwise. None of the sites note this, but the RAM has finally gone up to 800Mhz. (I think this has something to do with the new iMacs having the 45nm Penryn CPUs?)

And I see that they are still using this TN panels on the 20" models. The difference between the 20" and 24" display is really noticeable. Suddenly my old iMac seems to be a great deal

There's this site called MacUser and some guy called Aayush Arya wrote about the upgraded iMacs on it yesterday and this is what he said, “The bus speeds for RAM modules have been ramped up to 800MHz across the board.”

It seems that some sites do mention it. Just thought that you should know.

@narangz,
This is the entry I was talking about: Microsoft to cloak XP sales as those of Windows Vista

See? Microsoft is a cheap company, that's what it is.

Thanks for the link. I am not a regualr at Mac User. That's what I meant. They'll provide free XP license to Vista Business & Ultimate licensed users.

It's good for users who want to stick to XP. I don't know if it's cheap or not. But that's a nice article

P.S.- You, I guess, now know my name. I won't mind my name being called by you guys

Rolling on floor, laughing.. The 'z' is just to add to the zingy effect.

We're opening a BPO unit in Siliguri and asked our printer to design the flex banner for the showroom. This is what those guys came up with:

*i30.tinypic.com/2rppsgx.jpg

The other guys were OK with it, pleased even. But I wouldn't have that crap installed in front of my office. So, I designed it myself and this is what I came up with:

*i26.tinypic.com/n4wqyx.jpg

Now, I'm no genius with Photoshop, though I've been doing a few layout mockups for my website and they've turned out quite well. So what I want to know is: Is this OK? Better or worse than theirs? What could use improvement?

Of course, if Milind had been online yesterday, I probably would've had a much better design by now. I sat up till 04:30 am in the morning today to get this done, experimenting with all sorts of things.

So yeah, do let me know if it is any good. Thanks!

1. their design sucks
2. your's is better than their's but could be better

can't pin point but there's this something missing feeling

i guess it's the font style & color that's not going quite well

 

[cooldudie3]

I want to know the prices of all the imacs, the 20 inch sucker, the 20 inch intermediate and the 24 inch rocker. Also can you guys give links to pages that show the specs.

Thanks
