 Recently, our federal government has brought forward new legislation regarding Internet safety. Despite being very outspoken on the question of crime, Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems far from eager to discuss the legislation he’s promised to pass within 100 days of taking office — legislation that will allow online spying of Canadian citizens without a warrant. I'm also appalled by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews' comments in the House of Commons, when he accused all Canadians who oppose the... |

Bob is one of the senior VPs at Microsoft. In an effort to understand ALL the Microsoft technology available, he has installed all the major technology Microsoft provides into an extensive data center, in his home. The setup is capable is serving 200-500 workstations, so it is a huge overkill for a house. The room is AC controlled of course, and well, just watch the video. What I think is really cool is that he has used terminal server, with a touch screen to implement touch panels all throughout the house, to provide streaming audio & video. In one of my next blog entries, I will show you my MUCH scaled down version of this setup at my house. It runs dual purpose, both as a data center for our home, and also... |

One of the new features post SP1 in both HyperV server 2008 R2, and Server 2008 R2 is the ability to use dynamic memory allocation for your hyperV VMs. A similar type of function has existed in VMWare for several generations, but Microsoft has put their own twist on the technology and included it as a free update in SP1. Dynamic memory allows you to configure a base amount of RAM memory for the VM, that can expand and contract with resource demand on the system.

Great news. I just received this email from Netflix. What a great improvement for both users AND Internet providers!!! Email start ----> Starting today, watching movies & TV shows in Canada will use 2/3 less data on average with minimal impact to video quality.

We know that many of our Canadian members have monthly Internet data caps. This new default account setting will significantly reduce the amount of data Netflix delivers to you each month. You now also have the ability to manage how much data Netflix delivers... |
