As you already know, the microsoft has released vista compatibility tool that can be accessed from here. As i read from here, this software is designed to test whether your hardware and software are compatible with Windows Vista or not. Although not everyone is happy with the news however.

Well, as a vista user, i only hopes that this OS will gain bigger support from the hardware vendors and also the software vendors.

It was an interesting article from tech-recipes.com, just check it out. A noteworthy article for system admin or anyone who is interested in computer security.

You may use ffmpeg, just execute the ffmpeg command. You may make a bash script to make the process automatic. This is the script that i get from http://sysblogd.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/convert-multiple-flash-flv-videos-to-for-example-mpeg-encoding/

#!/bin/bash
##convert all videos of $srctype type to $desttype type encoding
SRCCODEC=”flv”
DESTCODEC=”mpeg”
for i in *.$SRCCODEC; do
echo
echo -n “################### “
echo -n “will convert \”$i\”"
echo ” ###################”
echo
ffmpeg -i “${i}” -y “${i%%.${SRCCODEC}}.${DESTCODEC}” && rm -vf “$i”
done

I just read this, and it’s true.

The Macbook Air is back heavy.

If you sit it open on a flat surface, most of the weight is in the rear. This is terrible for a laptop. My wife finds that everytime she removes her hands the whole thing almost tumbles off her lap. It would have been better to have the thick part in the front, but I suppose this doesn’t make for as nice of a demo.

Apple apparently does not have any parts in stock.

If your Macbook Air breaks, you are looking at a long wait for a repair. In my experience, typical turnaround times for Apple on laptop repairs are less than a week, usually around 4-5 days. The wait time for the Air appears to be somewhere north of 2 weeks.

Especially if you are in a country where apple stores not exist. The second point is real thing.

Python is really easy to learn, and regardless of what you hear, the significant whitespace makes code enjoyable to read. How easy? I hired someone who had never used Python or Django, and they wrote the Chesspark forum in about a week.
