earthUnited Breaks Guitars – This is an interesting video that I (Bob) first heard about on CNN. I always enjoy unique forms of protests. Since almost everyone has been at the mercy of the airlines at one time or another, I think anyone can commiserate with this song.

Meeting Topic: Spotmau™ PowerSuite 2009 – Olive just purchased this program and it looks like a nice diagnostic tool. This is especially useful if you’re trying new programs all the time like she does. I’m looking forward to seeing this program.

earthMicrosoft unveils ’screaming deals’ for Windows 7 – Microsoft is trying an aggressive campaign to get people to upgrade to Windows 7. For a limited time (I know it sounds like an informercial), you can get upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium for only $49.99. You’ll be able to upgrade from either XP or Vista. I (Bob) have already purchased a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade from Amazon. I’ve been using the release candidate of Windows 7 and I’ve been happy with it.

System Explorer – This free program gives you a lot more information than you’d find in Task Manager. It also gives you the ability to search for a process name on Google or ProcessLibrary.com.
