Windows XP D-Day is 6-8-08.
Monday June 30th 2008 will be the last day that Microsoft will offer Windows XP to the general public. The rumors that Microsoft would extend the date have been proven false. They will, however, continue to support Windows XP until 2014. So XP users needn’t fret that you’ll suddenly be victimized by hackers due to unpatched security flaws. Updates should work exactly as you’re used to them currently through the Windows Update system.
Some exceptions to this are some manufacturers that are making low cost computers that are not powerful enough to run Windows Vista.
There is always eBay, where a search for Windows XP in the Software>Operating Systems category returned almost 800 results.

Its seems simple enough but it took me a little while to figure this out. I was getting annoyed at constantly being “annoyed” with people trying to instant message me whenever I tried to check email.
Just scroll down to the chat area on the left side you can either click on the drop down arrow to the right of your status message and select turn off chat
…or you can click on options just below the chat area and select turn off chat…
See that wasn’t hard….now you can check email without being bothered….I use Pidgin anyway

Has anyone noticed that Yahoo image search is dominated by flickr photos? Searches that should return company logos a lot of times return skimpily clad women because that these are the photos that are tagged and commented on.
I was doing some research on a television (sony 52xbr5) and wanted to look at some images. A Yahoo images search for 52xbr5 that return only one result. The same search for Google returns 600 results.

Google images can bring you a decent amount of traffic but there can be instances that you don’t want your images to be indexed by Goolge or any of the major search engines. You can use the following meta tag between the <head></head> tags.
<meta name="robots" content="noimageindex" />
The best way to prevent your images from being indexed is to put all your images into one folder and use the robots.txt files to exclude that folder.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /images/
You might be using unauthorized photos on your new store and need some times to take your own pictures.
