| | | Microsoft Releases Windows Vista To Manufacturing | | Posted Saturday, November 11, 2006 11:37:50 AM by Blog57 Team | | As a longtime home office employee living just outside a midsize city, I've been spoiled with access to broadband, using it as my sole means of connectivity to my employer since 1995, when I was very early user of ISDN. Since 1999 or so, I've been using a cable modem and am about 99% satisfied with how it's performed over that period. That's a pretty good track record. I got a good reminder, however, that not everyone is so broadband-blessed through contributor Richard Hoffman's rural broadband progress report. Hoffman's analysis?a direct response to reader comments about the rural broadband struggle?finds there's progress being made to put rural users on the broadband map, but high-speed service availability is inconsistent at best. For those with access, limitations in how it's deployed, pricing considerations, and other factors pose challenges that those in big cities have rarely had to think about.... | |

| | | Medicine needs to move into 21st century | | Posted Thursday, November 02, 2006 3:16:44 PM by Blog57 Team | | In this election you have heard a lot about fixing our broken medical system. Doctors have been the main reason medicine has not advanced into the 21st century. They have consistently refused to use computers in their practice and in their hospitals. Part of the reason is the lack of compatible, user friendly programming available, at any reasonable cost. It will take a Microsoft or Oracle, companies large enough to be able to design and market user friendly medical software, to be able to resolve this problem. They have not entered this market because the docs say they don't want it. There is plenty of advanced private medical research which deals with disease. What we need, is a return to basics. The infrastructure of modern medicine is largely still in the '50s.... | |

Introduction Tom Tom is one of those names that have been around the GPS business for quite a while. They’ve had some excellent products and they’ve even produced a dud or two. Tom Tom Navigator 6 is the latest in their software lineup for PDAs. Although it’s not commercially available in the United States yet, I had the opportunity to evaluate its functionality and the current U.S. maps that come with it. Tom Tom 5 has been one of my primary navigation tools for the past year or so and I was anxious to see what improvements had been made.... | |

IGRS has been accepted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) as a New Work Item Proposal, only the first of many steps needed before it can become an ISO standard.
