RIAA

What is the RIAA and why should you who they are?
In plain English, it's the records industries association. You probably heard them in the past on suing people for downloading illegal music via the internet.
I don't discourage downloading music because it's the new technology. I do however caution users on downloading music files online. If your doing it. Be careful. The RIAA are out there and they are monitoring you. They make believe there some innocent user who has a music library and when you download your favorite music file, they got you. How they do it from what I hear is that they grab your IP address from your file sharing software your using to download music. Depending on how many copyright songs you have downloaded from them, or depending how many illegal downloads they find from your IP address. They eventually sue you for the amount of copyright songs you have downloaded.
The sad thing is that the one's being sued are children under the age of 18 and the parents are the one's paying the bills. It's unfair for this to happen. But the RIAA cares not. And in most cases they just settle out of court, like always. I have yet to hear a case where someone who downloaded illegal music continued with there lawsuit. Everyone is just pleading guilty and paying penalties.
My belief is that if you want to download music do so, if you want to buy the CD or music do so. But why should these people be penalized for technology which is changing the world of music. It's not our fault that someone put music and technology and the internet all together. The record industry should take a different approach and some how profit in on music downloads instead going after innocent individuals. We should just boycott buying any music at all and then I bet the RIAA would change it's mind about suing. How's that boycott concept for you(the RIAA)?

Microsoft Vista

Microsoft new operating system Loghorn is now called Microsoft Vista.
From the look of it. It's in Beta Version now. It has lot's of changes from the control panel to the Internet Explorer browser which has tab browsing.
The setup looks simple. Hopefully there will not be too many bugs to patch upon upgrade. But I will hold off on it for another year after everything settles.
In the past I've learned the good and bad things about having the latest operating system on your personal computer.
The good is that you get everything first and your problems that you discover will be along with others who have the same problem.
The bad is that it's often to buggy and you can't get all of your old software to work with it. It's a pain, because you have to upgrade everything to work with the new operating system. And even if you get it to work. It will be a while before the first service pak comes out. This just cases more problems than you had before and when you think about it. You are fustrated because the operating system does not work the way you wished it work. So if I were you I would hold off until the first service pak comes out. And then hopefully your PC can handle the new operating system.
For now check out the Microsoft Vista and installation snapshots.

It's called Mobile TV and it's exactly what it means, TV on your mobile phone.

If it continues world wide can you imagine that your favorite TV show can go where ever you go. So you have no excuse now to miss that favorite program.

I believe it's more like a Beta Test Service for text messages.
How it works is that a Sprint Customer send a text message to a landline phone. When the person pickup the phone call. They will hear a voice generated message and they can respond to the message using certain commands.
Experimental and who knows what this could mean for the future.



Mozilla Firefox Extensions & Themes

What are Extensions & Themes for the Mozilla Firefox browser.
It's like installing programs on your computer but taking less space and all in one location. What Mozilla Firefox does is that it combines it's browser to be more than a browser.
Example:
So now let's see you want to view a form online. Everyone know that if you want to view a form online, you would have to install adobe acrobat to view or print the form online. Why adobe is simple. Because when people where developing forms or letter or applications online. Adobe made a deal to offer it's software for free as long as they made a product that supported adobe. So adobe gets the publicity and recognition and every single form you see now a days is adobe base which is in file format " filename.pdf ".
How does this relate to Mozilla Firefox is simple. Mozilla has a .pdf format extension that you install to view forms online using it's browser. The nice thing about having this extension is that you don't have to install the adobe software on your computer and you save some space. Even though you still have to install the the extension file on Mozilla Firefox. In the end by installing Mozilla Firefox you have saved some space on your hard drive.
So your answer is: Mozilla Firefox save space.

Now with themes it's totally different. You would use themes on your browser to make your browser look good. Some people install themes so that they can match there application or so that they don't have to see those standard tacky colors on your browser. Themes are all about putting color on your browser so that you enjoy what your looking at. It's that simple

Why Mozilla Firefox

I have been recommending this site to many and I keep on telling them over and over.
Install Mozilla Firefox. Why? It's simple. What browser has tab browsing, weather updates, Satellite image of your area, Various search engines, customized templates, and the many more extensions that you can even dream on to add on to your browser.
At least by installing Mozilla Firefox you now don't have to worry about installing the latest Microsoft security patch because it's not a Microsoft product. Microsoft has to rebuild it's Internet Explorer browser all over again. And they refuse to do this. They convince the public that it's still a good browser when every two weeks you still have to install these critical update patches.
Once you go Mozilla you never go back.
Install Mozilla Firefox and your concerns on Microsoft updates will ceased to exist.
