President Elect Barack Obama loves electronic gadgets, the photo was taken recently and it showed he is using iPod Nano, not Zune. Earlier people saw him using a Zune at a gym and it broke Apple’s heart because he uses Mac computer! Zune is definitely not fully compatible with Macbook.

Obama likes his Blackberry device but I don’t think he is allowed to use it when he becomes a president because of some presidential and security restrictions.

Thanks to the upcoming Service Pack 2 for Vista, Microsoft’s much maligned operating system gets a much needed performance boost. Good news, Vista users! You might not need to upgrade your PC to 4GB of RAM to run Vista smoothly. Now, preliminary testing shows that Vista is actually getting faster, managing resources better and less issues.

There are also some friendly updates that you’ll see in SP2, including a revised Bluetooth stack with support for the new 2.1 standard and tweaks its Wi-Fi stack that results in better “resume response times” for mobile users. Also it supports the recording to Blu-ray media, as well as some reliability and performance enhancements for DirectX and high-definition video playback.

The latest version of Wordpress, codenamed “Coltrane” is available for download here. This is a major undates with tons of new features. What I like about version 2.7 is simply it makes Wordpress Faster! The new automatic plugin installer is simply amazing. It takes seconds to find, choose and test new plugins. Theme and Widget settings are now placed under ‘Templates’ menu, it makes sense but I’m just used to the old navigation - have to adjust Overall, I give it a A-

If you’re buying a new computer (laptop or desktop), would you rather have Windows Vista or Windows XP pre-installed? I know that my office is using XP and will be using it until WIndows 7 releases. Michael Dell sees this as a golden opportunity to make extra cash by increasing the additional price for new systems with Windows XP, and now it’s up to a whopping $150. This $150 is what you pay for after paying for the copy of Vista that you don’t want. Actually, you are paying both versions.

I hate to say this but I have to admit that Satellite radio is going down like a meteor, it’s a matter of time until it hits the ground. Sirius XM Radio being the king of Satellite radio is already living on borrowed time and borrowed money!

First of all, I’m not against satellite radio, in fact, I have a subscription since 2002. I listen to satellite radio all the time, my favourite show is “Howard Stern”. Sirius XM has $3.4 billion in long-term debt, $1 billion of which is due next year and $300 million of that due by February. The stock dropped from over $60 per share (in 2000) to all-time low $0.14 per share (in 2008). That’s like 99.8% losses! Here’s some reasons why I think Satellite Radio is doomed.

1. Rise of MP3 phones

Cell phones in general, and the iPhone in particular, are mainstreaming the idea of listening to music. Since people carry their cellphone(s) everywhere, this reduces the time to listen to radio. Why pay extra for Satellite radio in this gloomy economy? General Motor (GM) is one of the biggest supporters of Satellite Radio suffered a 45% reduction in new car sales, and facing the verge of bankruptcy. Read the rest of this entry »
