www_newsFor you guys still wanting Windows 7 for that new build, Newegg via TechBargains has Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit Software for $79.99.

All this hoo-ha over government data mining has everyone taking sides and digging in. Even Woz has weighed in. (Poor guy can’t even sit in an airport without being pestered.)

Yes I am.

I forgot to mention it last week but the guys [H]ardOCP seem to like this Haswell motherboard.

I enjoy watching Windows Weekly ( Leo Laporte, Mary Jo Foley, Paul Thurrott). This weeks episode is a good one.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
