Microsoft's next desktop operating system has been in development for some time. It is expected to be released in 2006. During the development process Microsoft always uses code names for the project. Longhorn has been the code name for this Windows XP replacement. Today Microsoft is expected to actually name the operating system. The rumor is that it will be named Windows Vista.
Don't know if I like it yet. Sometimes these things take some getting used to.

Thinking Outside The Box
A hacker was getting tired of being constantly spammed by this one spammer. So he hacked into their server and deleted their database and changed their network passwords. Cool!
Microsoft To Buy Secure Email Service
In another security related move, Microsoft has announced it will purchase FrontBridge, a provider of secure email services. Microsoft says it plans to use FrontBridge to augment its own Exchange Email Server.
Say what you will, Microsoft knows what its doing and how to do it. Oh, by the way, WalMart has announced it is trying to get into the banking business. After 4 unsuccessful tries in various states they are hoping Utah will give them a green light. For some reason I see this little Zorro guy slashing interest rates.

New Top Level Domain Name
A new Top Level Domain (TLD) name has been approved for use. TLDs are the major groups of Internet domain names, for instance .com, .org, .net, etc. They are used to group generally similar web content. TLDs must be approved, meaning you can't just create your own.
The new TLD is .mobi. This TLD will be used for websites that are designed for mobile devices like PDAs and cell phones. Currently, there are few websites designed for the smaller screens of these devices. It is also difficult to locate the sites that support these devices as well. This new TLD will help that. Sites are expected to start using the .mobi TLD sometime in 2006.
Yes, I have Internet access on my cell phone. I would like to see more content designed for these devices. Of course, I would only view the content when I am not driving! Did you know that you are 4 times more likely to have an accident when you are using your cell phone while driving? Even with the cool new wireless headset I just bought!
