Windows 7 Annoyance: File Properties
March 7th, 2010For the most part Windows 7 is great. There are a few – things – about it that annoy me, and I have found another. This “feature” has popped up a couple times and is very frustrating when it does.
For files created/modified in the last 24 hours, Windows 7 does not display the file time [...]
Make Firefox More Secure, Disable Java
November 13th, 2009No, not Javascript. Java.
Despite similar names, Javascript and Java are 2 entirely different things.
Java, or Java applets are programs that can be embedded in to websites. They are generally poorly written, and hardly ever function right. Most people will probably never even need java, and in fact the only website I can think of that [...]
Windows 7 Crippling, On The Big Screen
August 27th, 2009A few weeks ago I wrote about how Microsoft was artificially crippling “lesser” versions of Windows.

Why is Windows 7 Media Player So Ugly?
August 23rd, 2009I’ve been using Windows 7 for a few weeks now, and it’s alright I guess. It would’ve more appropriately been named Windows Vista SE (Second Edition) though. It does not feel like a new OS. It feels like Vista SE.

August 17th, 2009Ease of Access on the login screen was always something I disabled on my Vista machines… and of course Windows 7 hasn’t added any built-in option to disable this useless and annoying feature, so I’m here to show you how. As far as I know you can’t remove the button, but you can disable it.
I [...]
Windows 7 Home: Your very own crippled OS!
August 7th, 2009With Windows 7 RTM hitting official Microsoft channels, I figured I’d load up the final version of Windows 7 and check it out. I’ve commented in the past about being completely unimpressed with 7 and for the most part, that is holding true, with some added hatred for the big-wigs over at Microsoft for arbitrarily [...]
Windows 7 – Just keeps getting dumber
April 26th, 2009Well, I played around with the Windows 7 beta a while back, but not too much.
Recently the Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 came out, so I decided to pop it in and see what is new, and what I’ve found is painfully disappointing in most cases.
Microsoft is continuing in their tradition of dumbing-down their operating [...]
