LightScribe - Disc Labelling of the Future?
I now know what LightScribe is, and it may, just may, be the disc labelling future.
It is where the CD/DVD Drive with LightScribe on it can use lasers to imprint an image onto the disc, making colourful labels as well.
Could this be the end of ink labels?

You Lucky Little...
I was in TeamSpeak the other day when I get this message from my school friend on Steam who was yelling at me. After a few seconds, it came to me that my friend, school friend, one of my best friends, had won the PCPP (PC Power Play) Alienware Competition, winning a $8200 Alienware Computer!
How LUCKY is that?...

Finally! Windows 7 Preview!
After the last few days of mucking around with Windows 7, it is now time to write my preview for all those curious and anxious people out there. It's been a long time since I promised everyone about my preview, and I am going to deliver it to you right now. So, before starting, go grab a cup of coffee, clean your glasses, and make yourself, you are about to witness my first Windows preview (with screenshots!)
Firstly, I must point out that this is a Pre-Beta version, or as you may also call it the 'Alpha' version. The public beta will not be released until December 2008, but still, isn't far away from now. And because it is a beta version, there will be many bugs, and a few glitches that Microsoft has to fix. My version of the Pre-Beta has been hacked for educational perposes and to show all you people out there what some of the features that have been locked in the Pre-Beta. I do not recommend anyone hacking their Operating Systems, as you can get caught and put to gaol if needed. So, Microsoft, you cannot get me, as I am educating these people out there in the Wide World about your progress on the next version of Windows.
Ok, to start off, I want to talk about the installation of Windows 7. If you have Windows Vista, then you will be more aware of the fact that Microsoft has changed the installation look and feel, with no more of that 'pixelly' background on Windows XP. And, in 7, the look and feel is exactly the same as a Windows Vista installation. The only major difference is the background, and the background is the same throughout the whole installation.
To me, the installation really needs to differ itself from Vista, because since I downloaded this from Torrent (Leaked!), I did not know if I was getting my money's worth of downloading, weather it was 7 or Vista. But thankfully, it was
Everything else in the installation was the same, the borders of the window, the progress bar, and the same steps in installing. If Microsoft want to be different, they have to change this. I hope this version will not reflect on it's previous version, just like Windows 95 and 98 unfortunately did. Somehow, the installation was somewhat quicker than Vista, but I don't know if that was because I already had Vista on it and doing a custom new install still kept some files or not. Speaking of speed, Microsoft also promised to aim at computers booting up with Windows 7 in 15 seconds or less. Good luck with this, Microsoft.
Once it installed, I was again greeted with the same first time use setup used in Vista. Once again, with the different background.
It's quite funny how Microsoft put their own watermark on the OS saying that it's for testing use only. I laugh quite a lot at this, thinking as if that I'm going to use it for testing only!
Anyway, once installing, I was, once again, greeted with the Vista Taskbar, and the Vista background. Everything is too vista-like! When reading up about 7, I noticed a new document organization that's only in your account folder. For me, it's in Jordan. This feature is 'Libraries', and they are catagories that are used only in my Jordan folder instead of the Documents folder, Pictures folder, etc. They 4 'Libraries' are Documents, Pictures, Videos, and Downloads. Already I am using the downloads, pictures and documents quite regularly.
As soon as I got it, I created a System Restore Point, incase any of my hacking goes wrong, and I could restore my system back using the Windows 7 Installation DVD. When this was done, and still no change from Vista, I started to hack.
Thanks to a popular Windows 7 site, I was able to hack the Operating System and 'Unlock' the Locked Features in Windows 7 Pre-Beta. Once doing this successfully, just restarting the computer would make it hacked.
Once I hacked it, I hacked the activation. Using a website that I found after hours of endlessly searching for, I was able to make Microsoft pick up my OS as Genuine and Activated, so I continued on to my normal ways...
With the hack, I was able to unlock the 'SuperBar', which was the replacement for the Vista Taskbar. Microsoft have put a lot of thought into this, and it is almost the same as Apple's Mac OS X's Dock, only better! However, I was unable to use the Windows Aero theme due to my Graphics Card, but still, normal is fine. Adding onto the Aero theme, you can also use Aero Shake (which suprisingly works in the Windows 7 Basic theme aswell), which is where you shake the window of a program to hide all the other open programs, and shake it again to open them up again. I don't use it often, but it can be useful most times.
Another new program is Windows Media Player 12. Bundled in with Windows 7, you could call it a more 'compact' version of Media Player 11. My experience with it was alright, but it was hard to navigate to different views, and it seems to me that they have trashed the Visualizations, and made it more like Windows Media Centre. This means it is more stable, with no more laggy Media Player, at least I hope...
Just to give you a background on Windows 7, it was really what Windows Vista was supposed to be. In other words, Vista was released too early. Also, the system requirements for Windows 7 are very much the same to Vista, if not, less demanding.
And Microsoft Paint finally got a visual repair job done to it. So did Windows Explorer and most of Vista. Everything looks more like the Ribbon-Style bars you see in Microsoft Office 2007. You may ask why this. Well basicly, the employees that designed the shell for the Office 2007 Bar, also got the job to design the shell extension for Windows 7, so expect a ribbon looking feel to everything now.
Summarising, Windows 7 still has a little way to go, but Microsoft have thought diferently about this version. They are trying to make it more candy visual effects, but also with good performance, and they are taking stpes in that quite progessively. So far I'm impressed with my experience of Windows 7, and who knows what we will get in the Public-Beta and the actual release. Until then, this is my preview on Microsoft's Windows 7. Remember to post your comments about this preview and I'll take all feedback. So, keep pushing hard Microsoft, you are progressing well with your new Operating System.
