While Microsoft recently extended the date when the XP software will be available for low-cost PCs, it doesn’t plan to listen to some other complaints, including that Vista is too big. “Vista is bigger than XP and it’s gonna stay bigger than XP,” Ballmer said. “We have to make sure it doesn’t get bigger still.”

Your iPod gets wet in the rain? got dropped in water? worry no more. Such accidents are not very uncommon as it happens rarely. Every once in a while there’s people who dropped his or her iPhone in the toilet, went for a swim while the iPod is still in the pocket or soaked his or her’s when a bottle of juice fell over their trousers.
Most warranty for electronic products does not cover damage caused by water, so how can you revive the wet gadgets?
The solution is so simple as it lies in your own kitchen.
The first thing you must do is to switch off the device if it’s still on, then try to completely cover it in a bowl of rice. Hard to believe?
The fact that rice being a natural desiccant will help absorb the excess moisture. Just leave the device there for at least 24 hours and DO NOT in that time try to charge the device. To speed up the whole process further, that is if your gadget has a
removable battery, simply dry it separately.
This cheap home remedy is worth giving a try before you rush to the store for a replacement.

Have anyone ever heard of Google Calendar? Wouldn’t it be great to be able to keep track of all the events in your life, coordinate schedules with friends and colleagues, not to mention even your beloved ones, and find new things to do — all with one online calendar? The best thing about Google Calendar is that it is online. I personally am impressed with how Google has given this application a very “it’s not a web page, it’s a program” sort of feel.
Just recently, Google released Google Calendar Sync, completely addressing the automatic sync between Outlook and Google Calendar. This will allow you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar. You’ll be able to determine the direction of information flow, as well as the sync frequency. However please bear in mind that it’s not possible to sync events on secondary calendars at this time yet. Google Calendar Sync will only allow sync events from your primary Google Calendar and your default Microsoft Outlook calendar.
Here’s step by step guide on how to install and configure Google Calendar Sync:
1. First download Google Calendar Sync and install it. To install all you have to do is follow the step by step on-screen instructions carefully.
2. After installation is complete, the Google Calendar Sync Settings window will appear:
3. Enter your Google Apps account id and password (the same with your calendar account id).
4. Choose whether you want 2-way sync, Outlook to Google only, or Google to Outlook only.
5. Then enter the frequency in minutes of how often you want to synchronize your calendars.
6. And last but not least click the Save button.
Another important thing you should always bear in mind is that 10 minutes is the minimum time interval allowed. Google Calendar Sync will stay in your Windows System Tray, and automatically sync your calendar on the already predetermined sync time interval.
To access the Google Calendar Sync Settings window, just right-click on the calendar icon in your Windows System Tray and select “Options” or just simply double click on it.
