Three Wise Men

Not so long ago BigWhale wrote about Windows 7 RTM. Sure Windows 7 have some installation quirks, but which operating system does not have one or two of those? Some operating systems can live without the constant need for GUI updates. But not Windows. Their micro GUI developers are working hard. So hard that they have a new GUI concept ready even before Windows 7 accumulated some dust on the shelves. Now that is why I call ahead of time market.. – development.

If you want to see Microsoft dreaming machine in action read on and take a look at a possible future of Windows 8.

You can check-out the actual game play trailer. Release date is still unknown :(

Recently I wrote about installation of Windows 7 on HP Compaq 2230s. I had a few problems with device drivers which were resolved by downloading Vista drivers from HP site and installing them. My initial idea was to be able to use all devices on the notebook. I was specially interested in notebook fingerprint sensor and its capability to login to Windows account by using my fingerprint scanner.

The notebook has an OEM version of AuthenTec AES2810 fingerprint scanner. After installation of HP device driver fingerprint reader will be recognized and you will see fingerprint sensor. Since Windows 7 got a new Biometric Framework it is only prudent that the framework will get its own configuration section in Drivers and Hardware section. But this is where ASE2810 fails. When looking at Start->Control panel->Hardware and Sound->Biometric Devices you can see the AES2810 device but Windows 7 tells you that it is unavailable. If you are interested how this can be solved then read on!

Sybian is, by many claims, females best friend and the ultimate toy. No, I am not talking about some kitchen appliance or a whole set of knitting needles, I am talking about full fledged vibrating and rotating device that can be mounted and it is used primarily for stimulating various orifices and appendices of human body. Now Nintendo patented an inflatable horse, a Wii device that resembles a saddle and has room for Wii Remote. It can be used for mounting and riding. And the usage is not exclusive to horses, it can be used to simulate experinece of riding bulls, camels, elephants, burros, dolphins, whales dragons, griffons, unicorns and giant eagles. But let’s not limit the usage to pure animal riding, there are motorcycles, magic carpets, land or sea exploration vehicles, waterjets and so on and so on …

Porn industry jumps in the air and first titles are already being planned. A riding device that has a place for vibrating controller is just calling to get into porn. How many days until you will be able to buy Riding The Ron or Anally Rocco?
