Windows IE7 FOR Windows XP and IN Windows Vista...OMG



You have to admit, Microsoft has an unbelievable talent of missing targets. Whether we’re talking about Windows Vista or Office 2007, it doesn’t matter. Now they missed the chance of making IE7 a better branded browser.

Enhancing Your Reading Skills



In this week’s Study Guide, we’re going to talk about how to read. Now some of you may be thinking, “Dude, I already know how to read. I’m reading this right now!” I hear ya.

As esteemed reader and writer Thoreau said, “To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any other exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.”

Interestingly enough, I had to literally "RTFM" to figure it out. I guess I'd fallen for the "hype" that with Ubuntu, it "just happens". Well, no. Even with Windows, it doesn't "just happen". You have to read and follow the instructions.
