Much has been said about the 7 different editions Windows 7 will be released in. As usual this was a typical example of bloggers complaining just to complain. Things actually are much simpler and we here at Forever Geek will simplify the choice for you and explain why Windows 7 needs different editions. There are only 3 versions that matter for the consumer And one probable nuisance for most bloggers. Read more »

$250,000 Bounty For Downadup/Conficker Virus Creator
Who wants $250,000? I sure do! Off the top of my head, I can name more things than I can count that I can do with that much money. This amount – £172,000 – is actually well within your reach IF you know the person behind the Conficker worm. This worm started circulating in October of 2008 and has since then infected countless computers – we’re talking of millions here – all over the world. Read more »
The Skate-Drive
I saw this new USB Drive design down at Office Max today. Admittedly I looked closely because I thought it was a toy wrongly placed in the gadget aisle. As I came close I realized it was a 2GB USB drive designed as a skateboard. I think my nephew, Jonathan, would like this as a birthday gift next week. He love’s skateboarding, now that the snow has melted and the sidewalk generally has turned dry. The Santa Cruz skateboard company teamed up with the nerds at Action Sport Drives and used actual graphics from Santa Cruz skateboards. You can order online at Tiger Direct for about US$22.

The Gurus vs. The Genius Bar
Apple Stores would soon compete with Microsoft Stores with Microsoft announcing the thrust to open Microsoft Stores in the following months world wide. This effort “to help shoppers make smarter decisions about spending money on technology”, remarks newly appointed VP for retail stores David Porter. With recession biting deeper on worldwide economy, I think Microsoft anticipate consumers to think twice before purchasing any tech item. A $500 notebook vs. a $1,000+ counterpart is a valid option to know. It’s “The Gurus” vs. “The Genius Bar” too in the customer-service representatives arena. We can expect pleasant Microsoft smiles from BestBuy. These gurus will be answering questions about PCs and Microsoft products, as well as Read more »

Mickey Phone? WTF!?
After yesterday’s Lego-day, today seems to be the day of the Dept. of WTF. Another addition to this category is the pink Mickey Mouse mobile phone. Complete with Bluetooth, color LCD screen, 1GB of internal memory and FM radio. Where people might think it’s cute for kids… and it’s pink, I think it’s a bag of ugliness and certainly doesn’t fit in any kind of pockets either. Joke wants it that the model is perfect for body-builders though. If you are a real Mickey nerd and absolutely must have one of these, you can get your Yeedong M669 Mini Phone With Bluetooth & Camera here. Read more »
Phone With Wind Recognition
Straight from the Dept. of WTF comes the first phone with wind recognition. Yes, wind recognition. Korean provider Pantech has announced the world first phone with Wind Recognition, the IM-S410 from SKT or IM-S410K from KTF. Apparently this phone is able to recognize the amount of ‘wind blow’, its sensivity and dynamic through it’s microphone. This can then be used in internal applications like photo applications and games. A simple example would be to blow on an emoticon during a phone call and it would be automatically send to the person on the other end. If technology continues at this rate and level of insanity, I sense that the first Read more »
