WorldWind From Nasa .. Google Earth Alternative of sorts

Filed under: Computing, General, Learning — Zoomdog @ 12:09 am

For those that have used Google Earth you will know the pleasures of browsing far off places on our planet .. now I have discovered World Wind from Nasa and am bowled over

not alone can you browse Planet Earth but also Mars Jupiter and many more ..

there are links to places of interest and other interesting facts .. and discoveries ..

certainly worth the download but dont do so if you have a sub 1mb connection to the net..

Bill Gates Retirement

Filed under: Computing, Humour — Zoomdog @ 10:00 pm

as many know bill is due to retire .. well one of these days ..

leaving the global giant that is microsoft behind…

nice tribute this, some memorys .. windows 98 launch, there are similiar vids for 2000 and xp floating around but

from the days of msdos then windows , 3, and 95 microsoft have been there redefining the home market as well as the business market for pcs .. and fair play to them ..

granted I am a fan of linux, beos, and other OS but primarily I work with Microsoft products ..

so will leave this with a vid of vista being demonstrated ..
