My Comments

I tested this with Pandora and Slacker running and playing music and didn’t appear to work like I thought it would.  The phone is still playing the music… I would have thought that sleep would have paused my music via the iPhone functions.  So I suppose it will only work with iPod/iTunes music, no shocker there.  It DOES work with iPod music however those in the Mac world refer to the music you have on your iPhone.

Facebook Worm

Be careful with friends who send you videos in the next few days. The word on the street is there is another Facebook virus running around. Having a hard time finding info on it. Just got an email about a video one of my FB friends sent to me. I… am pretty sure this person wouldn’t have sent me a video. The email address was coming from facebookappmail.com. I would recommend you ignore these.

This is what the Facebook email says..

So when will Windows 7 be available?

August 17th, 2009

I keep getting asked when Windows 7 is coming out.  The official response from Microsoft from their website is this. 

“Windows 7 will be generally available on October 22, 2009.” - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy/offers/upgrade-faq.aspx

If  you  “Purchase a qualifying version* of a Windows Vista retail packaged product from your favorite retailer between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010.”  you can sign up to get a free upgrade to Windows 7.   Sorry but older Vista users will not qualify for this upgrade.
