Now this is cool although a bit pricey at around US$ 35.000, your very own drone helicopter with an attached digital camera, you can then take neat pictures from 50 meters altitude… maybe spy a bit on that neat blonde that lives next door when she is at the pool 
oh well we can all dream 
An American firm is going its own way in combating the world’s CO2 crisis, not by building hybrid or electric cars but rather improving the existing combustion engine by as much as 33-50%. This is achieved by heating and optimizing the gas injection into the engine. Very interesting I would say. For more see here; http://www.tscombustion.com/index.html

We have all heard about the Wii, and some even of project Natal for the Xbox 360. But news to me was that Sony is rattling their sable in this scene also and preparing a motion controlled controller to theirPS3 (much like the Wii controller just light controlled instead). My friend René showed me this cool video clip where you can see what is installed for PS3 owners, it does look really cool indeed.
If you have ever worked with .MSI files you must have touched Microsoft’s utility ORCA. Well it proves there is an alternative to this with a few extra features Super ORCA, so if you ever mess with .MSI files you may want to give Super ORCA a spin at http://www.pantaray.com/msi_super_orca.html
Ever been on a long air flight and had to endure the person in front of you putting his seat down from start to end? Annoying like hell.. Well here’s the trick to combat that “Knee Defender”, you lower the table/tray in front of you and attach this Knee Defender and viola the seat in front of you is locked in it’s upright position - but yes the tray/table has to be down for this to work, nothing is free so that is the drawback to this little trick. At a price of US$ 15,- it’s a bargain for those transatlantic trips.

I got a newsletter some time ago informing me that www.Yubico.com (or rather one of it’s partners) had added AD integration to the Yubikey, this should allow you to use the Yubikey to login to windows something that could be quite interesting..

So as described earlier I was messing with Softgrid (now Microsoft Application Virtualization) and had some issues getting it to work, so I decided to move to the latest version (thus the name change), we was using 4.2 and the latest version is 4.5.
Anyhow, I upgraded the sequencer and everything seemed fine, I started a capture and everything seemed fine until I started the Java installer, i now got an error from the MSI installer;
Error 1719.The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
Odd I thought and tried different approaches which all led to the same error.
A bit of googling led me to this;

The problem is simple yet bizzar, you can’t use remote desktop while doing a capture!?!? I was using a virtual pc (HyperV) and used remote desktop to connect and do my capture, however once I restarted the Virtual Machine and did the capture via the HyperV console there was no problem!? Odd…
