			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m sure most have you heard by now that Google has launched Google TV which will be powered by Android. Not a bad idea I guess for Google. It most likely will not replace your cable services but it does sound like something that is worth trying. It  just amazes me how Google can keep coming up with new ideas and new ways to tap into just about every market out there. Soon Google will have complete control of every technology we use.  Google has gone from being a simple search engine to one of the most powerful companies on the planet.  And from the looks of things they don&#8217;t seem to be slowing down, as long as the  ads pay for their projects and not the consumers, Google will continue to try slip there way through every crack they find.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I won&#8217;t go into all of the details about what Google TV can do because much of it is over my head. However I have provided a few resources that should give more detailed information about how Google TV will work. Only time will tell if this will be a success or not, but the power that Google has I don&#8217;t see why they wouldn&#8217;t get a nice share of the market. Anyway, you can check out the following resources for more information about Google TV. Thanks for reading and come back soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">For those who missed it, The Associated Press reported Sunday that the Air Force plans to launch its Boeing-built unmanned X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle. The ultimate purpose of the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle and details about the craft, which has been passed between several government agencies, however, remain a mystery as it is prepared for launch April 19 from Cape Canaveral, Fla.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Built by Boeing Co.&#8217;s Phantom Works, the 11,000-pound craft is 9 1/2 feet tall and just over 29 feet long, with a wingspan of less than 15 feet. It has two angled tail fins rather than a single vertical stabilizer. <span id="more-386"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The significance of the X-37B is unclear because the program has been around for so long, said Peter A. Wilson, a senior defense research analyst for the RAND Corp. who several years ago served as executive director of a congressional panel that evaluated national security space launch requirements.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">NASA began the X-37 program in 1999 in a cooperative deal with Boeing to roughly split the $173 million cost of developing an experimental space plane. Read the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j_ePTzNHs21LwOyiw28B2jpZgRDgD9ERPD5G3">full details</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Users of Microsoft&#8217;s Windows 7 are for the most part &#8220;very satisfied&#8221; with the new operating system, according to two reports from <a href="http://blogs.forrester.com/jp_gownder/10-03-29-windows_7_early_adopters_were_satisfied_upgraders" target="_blank">Forrester Research</a>. And most consumers are aware of the product. Forty-three percent of Windows 7 early adopters bought an upgrade,  according to Forrester, while 45 percent got it on a new computer. It  was the first time that upgrade purchasing matched replacement-cycle  purchasing among OS owners, the firm said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well as it stands right now I&#8221;m pretty happy with the product, however, I really don&#8217;t think it is as fast I thought it would be, but it is still better than what I had before. I was among the 45% who bought a new computer with windows already installed. If I had to complain about any thing it would be the fact that I can&#8217;t use the real windows classic theme, or even the xp theme. I just don&#8217;t really like the way it is laid out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, it is a good product so it might be a good idea to upgrade now, it&#8217;s time to let go of windows 98 and 2000 if you are still running those. Well as always, thanks for reading.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">On Wednesday Microsoft released &#8220;Game Room&#8221; for Xbox Live. Game Room lets you relive the glory days of classic arcade and console games in their original forms. Your avatar will take part in the original sights, sounds and gameplay that will make these retro games come alive on your Xbox 360 and Windows-based PC in one fast, fun experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, it seems people were having difficulties, from the start, downloading  Game Room and installing arcade games, as well as getting stuck on the loading screen. The boys at Microsoft are aware of the problem and had this to say regarding the issue:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p>Due to overwhelming interest from the community, we understand some  people have experienced issues accessing &#8220;Game Room&#8221; and purchasing  &#8220;Game Room&#8221; titles. We&#8217;re actively working to resolve the issue, and  appreciate your patience. We&#8217;ll update you as soon as &#8220;Game Room&#8221; is up  and running on both Xbox 360 and Windows PC.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You know, I like Microsoft products but for some reason they always seem to launch things before it is really ready and thus always seem to have issues when their products are first released. I&#8217;m not much of 360 fan I prefer the PS3, but the new Game Room does looks cool, if they can ever get it to work right.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is a trailer of Game Room, like I said it looks pretty cool, if you ever get to play it. Enjoy, and thanks for reading.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If you live around the Seattle area then you have most likely heard of Clearwire, their ads are all over the place. It&#8217;s a great services and the speed really isn&#8217;t that bad. I love the fact that it is plug and play so about 10 minutes out the box you&#8217;ve got your self a nice internet connection. Late last year Clearwire introduced their new WiMax technology which boosted speeds from 1.5 to about 3mb. Not a huge boost but big enough to tell the difference. <span id="more-350"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, Sprint has been advertising its 4G, or fourth-generation, wireless network. And at the CTIA Wireless show this week in Las Vegas, Sprint unveiled its first 4G phone, to be released this summer. The device, dubbed the Supersonic by HTC Corp., represents Sprint&#8217;s latest and biggest bet that its WiMax network and promises of a speedier wireless connection will reverse the struggling carrier&#8217;s fortunes. It&#8217;s the first smartphone designed to run on the 4G WiMax network being built by Clearwire, the fast-growing wireless broadband provider.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lately Clearwire has limited its service to netbooks, laptops and broadband to the home with speeds at 3 to 6 mbps with bursts of 10 mbps. The Evo news would place Clearwire firmly in the mobile-phone fray. Sprint&#8217;s 4G network is the one built up by Kirkland-based Clearwire, of which Sprint owns a slight majority share. Clearwire&#8217;s Clear network currently is offered in the Seattle-Bellevue-Tacoma area.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">First off I want to say that these results make me sick, after all I am from Seattle. Nevertheless, if the information is true then it needs to be posted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among 50 U.S. cities studied for their vulnerability to cybercrime, Seattle came out on top as the riskiest place, followed by Boston, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, according to the report &#8220;<a href="http://norton.newslinevine.com/" target="_blank">Norton&#8217;s Top 10 Riskiest Online Cities</a>,&#8221; released Monday.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Norton the Top 10 Riskiest Online Cities are:<span id="more-341"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* 1.) Seattle<br />
* 2.) Boston<br />
* 3.) Washington, D.C.<br />
* 4.) San Francisco<br />
* 5.) Raleigh, N.C.<br />
* 6.) Atlanta<br />
* 7.) Minneapolis<br />
* 8.) Denver<br />
* 9.) Austin, Texas<br />
* 10.) Portland, Ore.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Seattle took the No. 1 spot by a huge margin. It was the only city with top 10 scores in each category. I have to admit that this is a little embarrassing, but almost 68 percent of the people who live in Seattle use  the internet on a regular basis. With those kind of numbers it&#8217;s no wonder Seattle is such a huge target for these type of crimes. With that said, you may want to start keeping a closer eye on where you click if you live in Seattle.</p>
