    Leopard sucks, XP is old and Vista rocks started by StevenHodson
    Oh I wish that headline was true - I really do.
    Unfortunately it couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is that Leopard is coming into a computing world anxious for a real improvement in the desktop environment and it looks like it may just deliver the goods.

    PJ’s Weekly Round-Up started by StevenHodson
    Welcome all!
    This is my first foray into the contributing writer’s world so I hope you’ll hang in there.  I’ve put together a few forum sticky’s and comments for Steven in the past so I’m by no means a new member on the scene, ma
    Google’s AdSense for RSS Feeds Needs Fine Tuning started by StevenHodson
    Google is apparently celebrating some sort of 10 year birthday this week while busily counting their millions of dollars they are making everyday from AdSense. Their near ubiquitous ad network that is run at some point by just about every blogger is the dominate player in the ad business and the web
    Is Snopes playing kissy kissy with Zango? started by StevenHodson
    There are very few sites on the web that are considered to be of unquestionable authority and reputation but Snopes.com is one of those site - or at least it was until today. It isn’t that their information has become doubtful or that their dedication to busting all those urban legends has waned. What is […]
    From the Pipeline - 9.7.08 started by StevenHodson
    Some may have noticed that From the Pipeline was missing in action last night but it wasn’t for a lack stuff to post about but it was because I was busy trying to get the new theme up and running. Now it is done and as you can see giving WinExtra a new magazine like [...]
    In a perfect Microsoft world - Windows 7 started by StevenHodson
    I tend to get a lot of flack for being a user of Microsoft software but the fact is I like their products on the whole. That said I have never shied away from giving the company or any of its products the good old slap down if I felt it was needed. Nowhere […]
    So, What Keeps Me On Windows started by StevenHodson
    Pretty well since the first time I turned on a computer I have been using a Microsoft operating system. From the days of DOS, to DOS with a the Windows stub that let me use programs like PageMaker or Corel Draw; and right up to Vista it has always been Microsoft. There were times [...]
    Windows - The Atkins Version started by StevenHodson
    Much of what we know right now for sure aboutt he next version of Windows is coming by way of the Engineering Windows 7 blog and the pundits who read the posts. As they read the tea leaves they find there the fact is that very little about Windows 7 is reaching the tech blogosphere [...]

    From the Pipeline - 9.5.08 started by StevenHodson
    After the last couple of days doing what you might call post and category maintenance I am almost feeling brain numb. I still managed to get a few things posted today in various place so it wasn’t a total downer and I also managed to find a few things on the FriendFeed pipeline that you
    IE 8 Intranet Compatibility – Making A Mountain Out Of A Molehill started by StevenHodson
    Why is it that when the subject of Microsoft or Internet Explorer comes up in conversation any business sense goes right out the window especially within the tech industry. A prime example of this is the stupid fuss being made over the fact that Microsoft has decided to enable IE 8’s Compat
    Getting out the blogroll dustpan started by StevenHodson
    For anyone visiting a blog will notice on most of them a list of other blogs usually located in the sidebar area of the blog they are visiting. For blog owners this is where you would typically list a mish mash of other blogs you read on a daily basis. However as Lorelle VanFossen […]

    Discussion Point: OMG The Internet Is Dangerous started by StevenHodson
    So 10,000 kids in Australia have been led to a life of crime because of the Internet and now Twitter is becoming the new territory for malware and other nasty stuff. Ya .. okay … The podcast tonight is my opinion on those things.

    From the Pipeline - 9.4.08 started by StevenHodson
    Well in some ways this hasn’t been a very product day post wise since I’ve been busy being productive changing my categories around and then getting all 1,500 posts here into the right areas. It was needless to say a little mind numbing but I’m starting to see t
    Bringing A New Blog Into The World started by StevenHodson
    I generally try to keep myself pretty busy between writing for both Mashable and this blog but sometimes there things that I want to talk about that don’t fit with either of those two blogs. So I decided to do some revamping of another domain of mine and use it as my outlet to talk [..
    From the Pipeline - 9.3.08 started by StevenHodson
    Between working some more with Chrome and re-adjusting my workflow around what it can provide as well as launching a new blog today (The Hodson Report) it’s been a fairly productive day. Next up will be some re-organization of things here on winExtra and still more working with Chrom
    Thanks Google Now I’m Going To Hell started by StevenHodson
    I realize that a lot of diehard Google kool-aid drinkers would suggest that this would be going to heaven instead but this isn’t even close to a theological discussion. This is a discussion on how today Google may have just succeeded in changing the work flow patterns for a hellva lot
    From the Pipeline - 9.2.08 started by StevenHodson
    Man what a tough day to pull anything out of FriendFeed that wasn’t about Google’s Chrome browser or about politics; and since I’d like everyone to keep coming back I really don’t think those things are worth posting anymore about. So with some real

    Blog Design – Magazine Style vs Traditional Blog Style started by StevenHodson
    During the past couple of days I have been working on a new blog and part of getting it ready was deciding on the layout style that I wanted to use for. In the tech blogosphere the accepted norm is the traditional blog style – all the most current posts displayed in full or [...]

    As anyone who reads this blog regularly will know I like using Internet Explorer and am not a fan of Firefox. Additionally I have tried Opera through many of its versions but never stuck with it for whatever reasons. Where Safari is concerned I have tried it since the fir

    Bozo Bin Time For Social Media started by StevenHodson
    There was a time when those of old enough would get our social media fix via NNTP newsgroups and everyone had their favourite newsreader. We would spend hours setting them up, getting our signature files in place, installing tagline editors and then waiting while our news got downloaded at 56k.
    From the Pipeline – 9.1.08 started by StevenHodson
    I can just imagine a whole bunch of parents with school age kids doing the happy dance tonight and a whole bunch of parents with non school age kids cursing them as they pass them in the Staples aisles. for them I hopefully have found a few things in today’s FriendFeed pipeline to make them
