Well, the info’s finally starting to come in about Microsoft’s wireless media player; the project, dubbed Argo, will apparently spawn at very least one device.


Microsft Zune

Zune is a brand from Microsoft that incorporates a line of portable media players, software that will drive the devices, and an online service for acquiring and sharing media. It was previously thought that Zune was one of Microsoft’s media players under “Project Argo” . However, it now seems that the “Zune” brand will be used for all media players and other services, throughout the new project. The Zune will be released on the US market November 14 2006, with a price tag of $249.99

Google Search Code – Search public source code

Google Inc. is introducing a new search service that only a geek could love.


Google Code Search

The Web search leader said late on Wednesday it is introducing Google Code Search, a site that simplifies how software developers search for programming code to improve existing software or create new programs.

Google product manager Tom Stocky said the Mountain View, California-based company is set to help programmers sift through billions of lines of computer source code using its familiar search box to uncover snippets of reusable software.

Microsoft aims to scuttle pirated copies of Vista

Microsoft Corp’s upcoming Windows Vista computer operating system will include technology that is designed to prevent pirated copies from fully functioning, the software giant said.

Reduced functionality is already a part of the Windows XP activation process, but Windows Vista will have a reduced functionality mode that is enhanced, Microsoft said on its Web site on Wednesday.

Microsoft said the upcoming releases of Windows Vista and also Windows Server “Longhorn” will be the first two products to ship with the new anti-piracy measures included, but more Microsoft products will eventually adopt the technology.

Windows Vista systems must activate with Microsoft as genuine within 30 days and failure to do so will result in “reduced functionality mode” until successful validation occurs, Microsoft said.

Customers that use genuine versions of Windows Vista will get an enhanced set of features that will not work on non-genuine or unlicensed versions of Vista, it said.

IE extensions/add-on – the simplest way (context menu)

Extracted From Ankit Jain Ye Meri Life Hai!

Let’s go through Internet Explore for writing the simplest extension in just 5 minutes. So, what we wanted to do? Here I will show you how to access Html Dom and change it on the fly. All you need to know is a JavaScript and simple programming concepts. Here are the steps on MSDN that details adding a context menu to Internet Explorer.

Open Registry Editor and point it to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MenuExt
Create a new key that represents the text on the context menu. This may include ‘&’ for keyboard shortcut.

Create a blank Html file, say myMenu.html and open it in notepad. Clicking on the new item in the context menu this is the script file which gets executed. Point the default value of the key (created in the step 2) to this html file.

Create a binary value Contexts, and sets its value as 0×1. This can be 0×2 if you want our item to appear when we right click on an image. Or 0×10 if it should appear only it some text is selected. These values can also be binary OR-ed with each other.

Now open IE and right click (as whatever contexts you have set), you can see your new text appearing in the menu. Then we need to handle the event that Internet Explorer sends to the myMenu.html file. This should contain a script block. It receives an event as external.menuArguments. This menu argument contains a document object that is same as what we use in JavaScript to access the html of the webpage.

Left Brain, right brain.

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Why we don’t have pointers in Java.

In an interview a candidate was asked the question “Why We don’t Have pointers in JAVA?”, to which he replied like this:

I married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. My father, who visited us quite often, fell in love with my step daughter and married her. Hence, my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter became my mother. Some months later, my wife gave birth to a son, who became the brother in law of my father as well as my uncle.

The wife of my father, that is my step daughter, also had a son. Thereby, I got a brother and at the same time a grandson. My wife is my grandmother, since she is my mother’s mother. Hence, I am my wife’s husband and at the same time her step-grandson; in other words, I am my own grandfather.

I guess that’s why we don’t have pointers in Java.
