 Software maker Microsoft recorded a bigger-than-expected 60 percent jump in quarterly profit, thanks to strong sales of its latest operating system, Windows 7 . The company also said it expected business technology spending to recover this year. "We didn't see enterprise spending growth in our fiscal second quarter just ended," Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein said. "However, our general view is a recovery will occur starting this calendar year and gradually over the next several years," he added. Microsoft's net profit came to US$6.7 billion, or 74 cents per share, for its fiscal second quarter, versus US$4.2 billion, or 47 cents per share, a year ago. "Make no mistake, these were very good results out of Microsoft. Expectations were heightened ever the last few weeks, given Q4 PC shipments and good numbers from Intel," said Andy Miedler, analyst at Edward Jones.

A new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute indicates that laws preventing motorists from texting or using handheld cell phones while driving haven't led to a large drop in the number of vehicle crashes. While the findings are questionable , let's say, for the sake of argument, that they're true. So if bans on texting and handheld phones don't work, what's the next step? Two words: Duct tape. We're all aware that duct tape has 101 valuable uses , and probably a lot more. Its potential as a transportation safety tool has yet to be tested, however. It's time we gave it a test drive. I propose a federal law requiring all drivers and passengers to apply a thick strip of duct tape to their mouths upon entering a vehicle. No one could speak, of course, and the safety benefits of this simple procedure would be enormous. Though only a partial solution, duct tape would prevent many distractions that plague drivers and lead to vehicle accidents. Benefits of the ma

Apple’s Tablet is bound to become this year’s gadget must-have if it does appear later today but it seems like 24’s perennially imperilled hero Jack Bauer could be among the first to get an Apple iSlate. Is the Apple iSlate/iPad/iTablet ready for its close-up? Fox, makers of 24, are apparently in the process of doing a deal with Apple to get the Apple iSlate into a forthcoming episode of the time sensitive terror drama. The rumour comes from a pretty credible source. Rodney Charters , 24’s director of photography who’s been tweeting his excitement.

Getting giddy with excitement.” The current series of 24 is up to episode 5 but Charters subsequently changed his estimate to suggest the Apple iTablet will actually take a starring role in episode 22 which would most likely hit screens in May but be filmed far

Check & Repair Dead Pixels in LCD Screens I had recently written a article on finding dead pixels on your LCD screen, and a reader questioned us if its possible to repair these dead pixels and the answer to this is that yes sometimes it is possible to repair them. On a LCD screen when you select a Screen resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels, its not just some numbers but its the numbers of pixels which would be shown on your screen. You need to think in the way 1280 small pixels are displayed aside to each other in 800 different rows. Overall there are a total of 1280×800 = 10,24,000 Pixels on your screen. Now iam sure it will be a very hard job for you to find those pixels which are gone dead. Each of these pixels are microscopic transistors which are generally not defective but because of some reasons they can go dead and its not really easy for you to fix these dead pixels normally. While you buy a New LCD screen its recommended to check out the Dead Pixels on it using the software
