Love the fact that Photosynth is getting its due, its probably one of the coolest things Microsoft has released lately, so cool it was featured on CSI:NY - the first time I ever heard anyone acknowledge Microsoft had something cool - even at the cost of quick quip "It's a Windows world....". As you may have pointed out that PhotoSynth only works on a PC, what MAC applications run on a PC? Itunes? How is it that every time Microsoft doesn't make a product for the MAC, Microsoft is trying to monopolize, take over the world, and so on, but no one EVER mentions that Apple hasn't released ILife for the PC, Iphone software for other mobile devices and when was the last time anyone was able to upgrade a MAC themselves? I'm just saying, seems like people forget that Microsoft has been playing fair for a long time but no one wants to give them credit.

I'm an environmentalist, but the numbers on the chart don't add up. Consumer Reports estimates the average household uses about $100/year for standby energy, but then again, when I searched the source for this article, "2005 Intrusive Residential Standby Service Report: Energy Department", it turned up as an Australian study, not an American one. And my call to the magazine was met with less than enthusiasm. I was told I would get a call back, as the person I need to talk to was " just now going in a meeting"...holding breath......

Thanks for calling the questionable source for this to our attention. You wrote that you called "the magazine"--you mean Good Magazine, right? When did you call? Did you ever get a response? ... I would like Good Magazine to provide a link to the source so the the data can be verified. And if the data isn't verifiable, they should offer a correction. It's irresponsible journalism to present inaccurate information as fact, especially considering how easily bad information can spread on the internet. In my web search (on 8/19/08), I found a bunch of sites that seemed to quote the same data and the same source. Since the original source doesn't appear to exist online, I am guessing they got the information from this site...
So sites like Good Magazine have a responsibility to make sure that their information is accurate, and to correct that information when it is found to be inaccurate.

I found it very interesting that Microsoft is involved in this video as they are very much responsible for the big mountain of e-waste, by releasing operating systems which are very resource hungry. And because of the closed nature of the drivers you wont be able to find any for older peripherals and the latest OS.
I run GNU/Linux on a 1.5 GHz single processor and 500MB RAM and it preforms very well.

How many times a day do you actually find a website and get there via typing in the universal resource locator?
Tell me, if you want to find out about cars, do you really type in cars.com?
