First U.S. tech officer will have hands full - USATODAY.com: "First U.S. tech officer will have hands full. By Jill Lawrence, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama's pledge to name the nation's first chief technology officer has triggered a flood of wishes, hopes and demands from tech enthusiasts who'd like the job to have the same stature and reach as, say, the White House national security adviser."

Technology Live: News, digital cameras, HDTV, desktops, laptops, video games and more - USATODAY.com: "The Crawler Radio & MP3 Player is a mere 603KB download that lets you listen to and record Internet radio streams, selected from preloaded stations provided (most without commercials) or by adding your own favorite online radio stations.

If you need to leave the house but want to record an upcoming show, pull up the scheduler and select which station to record from the drop down menu, what time to begin recording and what time to end. Now you can listen to that recorded audio anytime (and offline, too).

Because files are saved as MP3s, you can also copy over the tracks to a portable music player such as an iPod. Quality varies between stations, however, maxing out at 192 kilobits per second (example: 'Powershot' dance radio). Preloaded stations are listed by popularity or by genre (rock, pop, classical, alternative, country, gospel, and so on)."

Resplendence Software - WhoCrashed, automatic crash dump analyzer: "WhoCrashed reveals the drivers responsible for crashing your computer

Whenever a computer running Windows suddenly reboots without displaying any notice or blue screen of death, the first thing that is often though about is a hardware failure. In reality, most crashes are caused by malfunctioning device drivers and kernel modules. In case of a kernel error, most computers running Windows do not show a blue screen unless they are configured to do so. Instead these systems suddenly reboot without any notice."

Eastside Business - Promoting Business in Bellevue, Bothell, Issaquah, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond, Woodinville and beyond - Eastside Computer Services Expert Turns Bruised Apples into Beau

Eastside Business - Promoting Business in Bellevue, Bothell, Issaquah, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond, Woodinville and beyond - Eastside Computer Services Expert Turns Bruised Apples into Beau: "“At one point, I took a wild guess and wrote an e-mail to steve@apple.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , asking Steve Jobs, co-founder and president of Apple Computers, for three or four copies of the Mac OS X operating system for this project.

“I got back a reply from his administrative assistant, telling me that five copies of Macintosh operating system were in the mail. But when they arrived, the five copies turned out to be family packs, which means he donated a total of 25 copies of the expensive software. That gift was several times what I originally asked for. The generous donation allowed me to expand the program.”

In addition to updating the old Apple computers, Ray has found cheap dial-up Internet accounts and provided rudimentary training for the “lost youth” recipients. He usually tries to throw in a free printer and some auxiliary speakers, because some of his private clients at Mac Ace don’t want the extra peripherals that come with a new computer system.

“These older computers are slow, but they work just fine,”

eMail security tip for members

Important in the First Month - SPAMfighter: "And a very important piece of advice:
Never open a spam mail and remember to turn the preview pane off. This way only those messages you deliberately open are displayed. The pictures in spam mails are usually made so spammers can see if you open them and that means a lot of spam.
To turn the preview pane off:

Outlook Express: Click View Menu > Layout and remove the check mark beside Show Preview Pane.
Outlook Express 6.0 offers a 'Read all messages as plain text' option. This is a good alternative to disabling the preview pane.

Outlook 2000/XP: Click View Menu > Preview Pane.
Outlook 2003: Click View Menu > Reading Pane > Off."
