Microsoft Touch Mouse

Presentation of the new touch-sensitive mouse by Microsoft, especially designed for Windows 7.

Nothing at all to do with the Mac equivalent that has been on the market for some time now, the Magic Mouse. Two different products. Completely.

You be the judge …

TVU networks

This could be useful for those wanting to find programmes in other languages (although many channels seem to be from India or China, there are plenty of English-language ones) and why not, maybe even some World Cup matches not shown in Spain …

A word of advice – you don’t have to download the player to watch online, but you will need Internet Explorer or Firefox for Windows, or Safari / Firefox for Mac.

About the TVU networks service

What is TVU?

TVU Networks offers a free global live TV service that you can watch on your Windows PC or Mac over a broadband Internet connection. This service is dedicated to bringing you TV that you can’t get from cable or satellite, such as news and sports from around the world.

How does TVU work?

TVU uses real-time packet replication, which is very much like P2P file sharing, except that the video is brought to you in real time. Every additional viewer watching a channel helps make the network stronger and helps improve the signal of all the other viewers watching the same channel.

Is TVU free?

Yes, TVU is 100% free. If anyone has sold you this service, we suggest you demand a refund.

Is TVU safe?

TVU is 100% safe. TVU doesn’t write any data to your hard disk, other than the TVUPlayer itself and a few necessary configuration files. This makes it almost impossible for virus, worms, and the like to spread via our service.

Free Netbook Operating System, Jolicloud

The Jolicloud Operating System for Netbooks

If you have a netbook (one of those mini-laptops, if you know what I mean), then it probably came with one flavour of Windows, whether XP or 7. And this is perfectly OK for most users, but you maybe didn’t know that there are other (free) alternatives out there, among them Google‘s Chrome OS (not the browser, but similar) and Jolicloud.

Jolicloud can be installed as the main operating system or alongside Windows without having to move any of your data. It includes applications focussed on on-line life, such as social networks, mail, blogging or messaging and lets you save your important information in the “cloud” or locally on your own machine.

The makers claim that Jolicloud is the most compatible netbook operating system around at the moment, with support for models of around 50 manufacturers, including Acer, HP, Toshiba, Asus and Samsung.

Most attractive of all, being a distribution of Linux, it’s free and maintained by passionate experts!

Choose from the express Windows installation and the image (iso.) file if you want a full installation or with other operating systems.
