Overclocking might lead to BSOD

Ken at Ars Technica links to Raymond Chen at MSDN. What Chen concludes is that overclocking of processors might lead to blue screen of death (BSOD) and make look Windows bad.

I agree I have seen many people abusing Microsoft when they themselves don’t follow the recommended settings and try to hack and modify settings that come out of the blue to them. It’s good to see that Microsoft is putting time and resources for all the error messages that we sent them.

Want a similar tool like YaGoohoo!gle

Frank Arrigo had linked me to YaGoohoogle few days back. As Frank I also wish that someone could do a similar site which includes MSN Search as well. So far I have’nt seen anything that includes MSN Search as well. Can anybody do few lines of coding so to have three search sites on the same page? Is’nt somebody from Microsoft community ready to take this plunge? It would be good to see how the three search engines give the results. This will help search engines as well as users who just type onces and get results from three engines. Anybody ready for this small excersie?

Are Gmail invites tracked

One question I had about Gmail invites are whether they are tracked or not? I have 50 invites at the moment. If I invite anybody around and if they do anything against Gmail terms of usage, can I be held responsible in any way? I am sure it is easy for Gmail and others to track where the person got the invitation. What is my liability in such cases?

Microsoft Outlook–>Alt+Q–> What a relief

Cameron Reilly linked me to a way on associating shortcuts in Microsoft Outlook. That’s a relief. Thanks Cameron for the link. As Cameron, I had the same problem marking all the folders in Outlook as all read. I use Newsgator and lately have been using Bloglines as well. Although I am subsribed to a lot of feeds, sometimes I just want to start from scratch marking all the folders as read. Manually doing it for hundreds of feeds is a pain. Luckily now instead of clicking on “Mark All As Read” in Outlook, I will now follow click Alt+Q and it will do the trick. Saving time, being smarter and being productive is always a good thing :).

Tiger Woods did it again

I don’t understand a lot of Golf, but just enough to understand a good golf shot. I was at the gym today when I saw the excellent shot by Tiger Woods at the Masters in the news there. Came home and fired my news aggregator to see Robert linking to ad made by Joseph Jaffe. Nice work Joseph. Now I have that incredible and motivational shot stored on my computer for the rest of the life. I bet this home made ad will stay in my life more than many other day to day ads I see on Television again and again.

Microsoft Developer forums

Tony Soper links me to http://forums.microsoft.com/. Nice initiative by Microsoft again. I think if really well managed than it can be a huge success. Please don’t stop here, encourage all the users and other community members to come and stop by. Write about these forums everywhere like you do for Windows XP SP 2.

Yes, I can come up with many good reasons that IT Pro forums should exist as well. Yep, NNTP are good ideas, but people get lost in overwhelming NNTP groups. I will wait for IT Pro forums fire up. Yes, I am liking new http://blogs.technet.com .
