Good grief, I thought all the different Windows Vista options were a pain in the neck, but with Windows 7 there will be even more!
* Windows 7 Starter
* Windows 7 Home Basic (for emerging markets)
* Windows 7 Home Premium
* Windows 7 Professional
* Windows 7 Enterprise
* Windows 7 Ultimate
Good luck.

Using a Wi-Fi connection for voice calls is not a new idea , as we're currently enjoying the Truphone app on the iPod Touch and the specially created Skype phones from 3, but this is the first time T-Mobile have chosen to dip their toes into this treacherous pool. They've updated their Shadow handset, which will now be capable of using a Wi-Fi signal. This allows you to make unlimited calls over Wi-Fi networks, moving away from the standard cellular network.

Google announced its "Doodle 4 Google 2009" competition Tuesday. According to the company, all Kindergarten through 12th grade U.S. students can design a Google logo based on the theme, "What I wish for the World." Applications will be accepted until March 31 and the winner's doodle will be displayed on Google's homepage on May 21. The winner will receive a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for their school. Google will also award a school district $10,000 for the "greatest quality participation."

Do your kids need a "screen time" manager? Parents don't have to worry about just too much TV viewing these days, they also have to worry about just how long their child is glued in front of their computer screen.
Hook the gadget up to your computer. With each child, you can pick and choose how long you want them to be able to be on the computer. It can track hours per day and hours per week, as well as being able to recognize periods of time when they’re not allowed on the computer at all. Once they’ve reached the time limit, it shuts off the device.
