Windows 7

I have downloaded Windows 7... I had the idea to install and test it... I'm fine with having Beta problems if I get it for free. 
Well, hold on a second, it will no longer work beyond August. And either you have pay for the final version of Windows 7 or come back to Vista.
So, what's the deal? I test it, I send feedback and I get caught. Is this a Beta testing program or a new marketing campaign.

Please Microsoft, I'm fine with beta testing, but give me a free copy after that. At the end you're just allowing 1 million of beta testers. Probably a good price for having a much better product.

Web Footprint


I'm trying to create a picture of my "web footprint", the idea is to be able to put in a picture the main services of the web where I have some interaction.

Of course this is changing quickly, so I'll try to keep it updated.

The main thing is that you can see a big number of not conected elements. For example I have to keep four profiles for profesional networks (Linkedin, Plaxo, etc). I hope that this situation will improve in the future, with new tools that will make it easy for the user to update just one place, even if the information is then broadcasted.

I used OpenOffice Draw for the pciture.

Google calculator

This is funny, but will only be understood by SF readers.
By now all of you know that Google is (among other things) a calculator.
You can make a search for 8*3 and, apart from looking for that, it will give you the result of the calculation. And the calculations can be quite complex.

Now try this calculation "answer to life, the universe and everything"

This is specially for Adrius!
