I guess one tip I learnt was to close MSN Messenger, Skype, Outlook and to stop Windows putting annoying messages up asking about my color settings lol

good stuff. sure it won't be long before he has his own show!

I think that would be really good if you can spare the time. I'd offer to help but I'm only a Camtasia novice at the moment! It's useful to know what settings to use to get the best quality vid into Youtube.

Youtube vids help so much for tutorial and marketing purposes.

It even gave me a little countdown to prepare for talking once i'd clicked record! James Cameron better watch out!

Noticed that Google indexed the vids very quick and they are appearing in the search results when I try and find our site.

Was using CamStudio before. Spent ages putting together a vid and it kept crashing think it was due to some 2GB limit it has on the audio.

Downloaded Camtasia before and was very impressed. So much quicker and more reliable. Alhough the download was huuuggggeee.

Thanks very much for the advice!

Justin Bieber? That would be as bad as the death penalty! Although I was pretty upset when they removed the Microsoft space alien from MSN Messenger, but I'm not sure even that would warrant an afternoon of Bieber!

There's a lot of stuff for and against Gibson out there, particularly with regard to the way he steered Microsoft on raw sockets in Win XP: Steve Gibson really is off his rocker ? The Register

i think all large companies have conducted themselves in some immoral way at some point in the past. UK banks with their selling of payment protection insurance and Microsoft has never been too clean with what they've done to Digital Research, Novell and BEOS to name but a few. I guess it's up to the governments to put the appropiate legislation in place to stop it happening in the first place.

I suppose a lot depends on the penalties they might face if they break it, personally I'd get their CEO's, put headphones on them and play Katy Perry's greatest hits on repeat for two days.

I know sites like youtube are funded by ad revenue, but it is irritating having to watch 30 seconds of an ad before your Katy Perry video.

the DOS stuff was handy for writing logon scripts but now with group policy you don't need to bother as much.

I quite like the history of computers, its interesting reading stuff on the Amiga and Acorn at the likes of old computers. Tried a few emulators but lost interest in it after a while. Perhaps things weren't as good as I remembered!

I think it's because Google makes the majority of its revenue by selling advertising, the more it knows about a user's behavoir, the more intelligence it has to better focus campaigns and make more revenue; it wants to display adverts that are relevant to the information that you're looking for. Why they don't just ask users if they'll participate like many toolbars do, I don't know.

If you want more privacy you can always try using a VPN service like TOR or IPredator but some sites don't work well through them (like online banking) as sites can easily detect that you're surfing from behind a proxy and they seem worried that you might be doing something wrong or have something to hide.

I found my accounts blocked when I try to access from Florida (I live in the UK). The bank said it was abnormal behaviour; hmm for them maybe - but perhaps they don't allow their staff to go on holiday!
