New Release: Windows Vista SP2


Things to know
Users decided on Windows Vista until 7 rolls around should be happy today: Service Pack 2 (SP2) is released.

In addition to incorporating all previous updates, SP2 contains changes "focused on supporting new types of hardware and adding support for several emerging standards." On the IT side, administrators will now find it easier to deploy and manage large installations of Vista and its accompanying Windows Server 2008.

Prerequisites will be simple for most: your version of Windows Server 2008 or Vista must have SP1 installed. Note if you're updating through Windows Update/WSUS, a separate update to the servicing stack must first be installed -- this handles installation and removal of software updates and other features, and is necessary to successfully install and uninstall the new pack, and with maximum performance and reliability. Lastly, if you're making use of the vLite utility for the move, you may get an error.

If receiving through Windows Update, which downloads only the changed data, you're looking at a 43 MB file set; those going for the standalone set will be at 302 or 390 MB (five or seven languages) on x86 systems, and 508 or 622 MB (five or 36 languages) on x64s

Upon successful installation it is strongly advised to run the Service Pack Clean-up tool -- just run command prompt and enter compcln.exe.

For the list of highlighted changes and improvements, hit up the source below where you can also find a link to the full list of hotfixes and security updates. For a quick list, though, have this: removal of half open outbound TCP connections limit, ability to record to Blu-ray disc, and 'improved' content protection for TV in Windows Media Center.

Enjoy!

Strange Panasonic Gel Remote by Panasonic

This may be the stangest remote control we've ever seen before. With the push of a button will make this remote control becomes rigid and ready for use. When it's not in use, this concept remote control just short of lays there lim, pulsating with light. But when you touch it, the remote gets excited and become rigid. Constructed of a soft, flesh-like gel, the remote appears cold when off. Once turned on, however, it seems to come to life. A soft light emanates somewhere from within as the center of the device begins to slowly rise and fall, mimicking the tranquil motions of breath. Left undisturbed, the remote will slumber peacefully. Buth should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid – the light from within is extinguished. Thanks

Chumby Modified To Fit Fish Tank


Bruno Fosi has gotten creative by using his Chumby to fit into a goldfish tank that is networked with other Chumby devices. Sensors on a robot will monitor the current water conditions and send a report right at you so that you will be able to take immediate action as and where required. Since the device itself is wireless, you will be able to feed your fish or dispense medicine without too much trouble, making long vacations possible without the need for a neighbor to constantly check up on the condition of your fish. Too bad it can't change the water though. Clever use of the Chumby's accelerometer, compression sensors and microphone will enable real-time online interaction with your friends’ fish, although fish are generally not the most responsive pets in the world.

Thanks
