I use the “Tag Surfer” feature often enough, and just now for some reasons it shows much older postings from 7 months and 7 years ago. What is going on???
WordPress Admins, this must be a glitch.

iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 and Windows Vista
There has been reports that iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 is not compatible with Windows Vista, I cannot confirm this as of yet. My main Windows computer currently runs Windows Vista RC2 Build 5744. I also run Windows Vista RTM (Business and Ultimate) on different computers.
According to Apple Support, iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 for Windows System Requirements:
- Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4
- Windows XP with Service Pack 2
I will test the iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 with Windows Vista (RC2 and RTM). Watch for this post for the result soon.
On Windows Vista RC2 Build 5744, iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 failed to install.

On the fourth day of 2007 Apple releases the first update to Mac OS X. That’s 5 days before Steve Jobs’ Keynote at MacWorld San Francisco 2007. While it seems there’s nothing extra-ordinary on the update, one could only wonder if there’s some kind of significance with Apple’s upcoming releases to be announced at MacWorld.

LogMeIn Client now Supported in Mac OS X
UPDATE (01.27.2007):
For some reasons LogMeIn Client stops working properly on Mac OS X.
I figured out why it’s not working. I’m going to write in the details with all the glorious screen captures on my site: http://37prime.com/
Back in March 2006, I wrote a little review on LogMeIn. Previously, I was using GoToMyPC to help a friend. I first heard about LogMeIn on Leo Laporte Radio Show on KFI AM640. I tried out LogMeIn Free because it was totally free. I liked it with one exception, there was no client support on Mac OS X at that time.
Fast forward to January 2nd, 2007. My friend’s father who lives 270-something miles away had a problem with his computer. By chance, we had LogMeIn Free installed on his computer. While talking to him on the phone, I logged on to LogMeIn website and proceeded to control his computer. I then realized that I was using Safari on Mac OS X 10.4.8 and it was working. I didn’t know when exactly LogMeIn added Mac OS X compatibility. I told my friend about it, but he was having authentication problems when using Firefox 2 on his Mac.
Anyway, I am really glad that now LogMeIn Client is now working on Mac OS X. I can now convince my other friend to switch to LogMeIn Free from GoToMyPC since he’s only using basic remote desktop function.

Windows Vista Business and Ultimate Editions: The Experience Part 1
I have been using Windows Vista since it went RTM back in November 2006. It is tough to objectively evaluate Windows Vista since my personal computer is a bit under-powered. I did have the chance to use Windows Vista on numbers of newer and more powerful computers. The two versions I get to use are Windows Vista Business and Ultimate.
I first installed Windows Vista Business on the computers. Windows Vista Business is somewhat the upgrade to Windows XP Professional. Unfortunately I was unable to activate the copy since it was looking for Key Management Service (KMS) locally. We don’t have a KMS server set yet.

I then installed Windows Vista Ultimate on the same computer on a different hard drive. It ran a little sluggish, due to insufficient amount of RAM and less powerful graphic cards. Once I turned Aero and Glass off, Windows Vista ran a lot faster.
Computer Specs:
- AMD Turion 64 ML-30 1.60GHz
- 768MB DDR PC2700 (128MB shared with the graphic card)
- ATI Mobility Radeon XPress 200 (128MB Shared RAM allocated)
- Hard Drive: 40GB 4200 RPM
