Apple has debuted a new "Get a Mac" ad, called "Sad Song," on television networks and online. It seems that with the passing of each day, Windows PC realizes he has very little chance keeping everyone interested in him with Mac out in the wild too.

I knew that SP3 for the end users was out and so I went to the microsoft download center to try to find it. I searched for it but it didn't show. All I got was SP3 overview, I didn't even get the RTM one in the search results.

Since they first got on the market, mice got loads of updates in both functionality and performance. For instance, the ill-fated ball has been replaced with an optical sensor, while newer generations of devices got rid of cables in favor of wireless transmitters.

This is usefull for those who often use elevators!

When we press the floor no. button on the panel lift start moving. But if someone on the next floor calls the lift the lift stop for them, this could be very irritating in rush hours!

Now, if you Press the Floor No. Button and the Close Door Button both at same time then the elevator would not stop for any one in the way and will stop directly on the destination floor!

Note: in some elevator systems this trick might not work!

1) "This can only be accomplished through a large custom development project."

2) "Of course your data is safe."

3) "We'll need a day or two for optimization and debugging."
