Having problem with Skype?

Skype suffers major outage last week and from what I know they’re still in deep trouble, rumors has it that it has something to do with the software, probably a bug.

It appears that the problem it much more severe that what it initially thought was, for those that depends heavily on Skype and has problem connecting, try some of Skype’s competitor, Gizmo Project and Google’s Grand Central.

DRM Free Universal Music but Not On Apple’s iTunes

Universal Music Group is conducting an experiment where they’ll be offering most of their music catalog DRM free for a period of six months only, the down side is - Apple’s iTunes is not invited to join the party.

It appears that Universal is boycotting Apple, Gods know for whatever reason it maybe but their plan could possibly backfire if Apple manage to pull off another ‘must have ipod’ and continue dominating the world of mp3 player.

Lenovo Linux PCs

Lenovo, the world’s third largest computer maker announced that it will begin offering Linux as an option in its notebook computers, joining the ranks of other computer makers such as Dell. It appears that the market is responding to a weaker Windows Vista.

Looking at the entire scenario from a different point of view, if the market shows a demand for Linux PC, it could signal a desire for a change in operating system or possible an opportunity to purchase a cheaper computer compare to a preloaded windows. Either way, Microsoft Windows is here to stay for quite sometime.

p.s. I believe Acer would be the next company to announce a choice of Linux operating system.

Cheapest Windows Vista costing only $66

Microsoft has dramatically cut the price of Windows Vista Home versions in China in a bid to boost sales.

This could be seen as a move to counter the wide spread of pirated version of Windows Vista in the chinese market, which is believed to be selling for $1 per DVD. Reducing Vista’s price in China narrows the price gap between original versions of Microsoft’s software and pirated copies, and should result in higher sales

But, the problem is not about piracy, it lies more on the mentality of each individual. Having the opportunity to further my studies in Australia, I have come to notice that with the current booming economy, the whites or Australians do buy pirated CDs when they visit countries like China or simply download them off the internet with programs like Bittorrent.

$66 may be cheap for citizens from first world countries.

Open Source Search

Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikipedia has launched a new project known as the Open Source Search Engine - Grub. Part of the reason for the surprised move is the discomfort of Google and its foothold on the internet, according to Jimmy Wales, the Grub crawler is based on LookSmart and they’ve just launch a tool for both Linux and Windows and pretty much like Wikipedia, anyone and everyone can be part of the community by contributing their computer resources when it is in ideal mode.

Grub looks really interesting, and should be fantastic. I doubt it will be a threat to Google anytime soon.
