Tomorrow Will Be A Busy Day For Windows Users

ms_logo

ms_logoApril 8th’s Patch Tuesday marks:
The end of official Windows XP support.
See eXPired – The Last Windows XP Guide You’ll Ever Need and other XP articles.
Official support ends for Office 2003 too.
Be sure to update them TOMORROW.

Windows 8.1 Update 1 will also be released.
In some of the Geekier forums some folks have reported issues with this update. I don’t know if it’s the update itself, a bad download, or failure to follow the install order (RTM and MDSN had manual downloads).
I would advise folks to either:
1 – Backup their computer before taking this update.
or
2 – Wait a few days to see what is being said around the web about this update.

All other currently supported Windows will have a few critical updates:
Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for April 2014

FYI, Patch Tuesday updates are released around 1300 hrs EST  (1000 hrs PST, 1700 hrs UTC).

In addition, Adobe usually release their security updates on Patch Tuesday.
Tomorrow have a look at: http://helpx.adobe.com/security.html

ponoCloud Storage Wars
No, this isn’t the next horrid Star Wars prequel. Google has price cut the competition severely.
Google Drive – 100GB = $1.99 per month

No Lines
Google has removed underlines from hyperlinks from Google Search.

A Better Portable Music Player?
I’m not much of a Neil Young fan but his kickstarter project has hit $2,000,000 in only 2 days. His product is the Pono Music Player. I’m all for better quality music but the player looks bulky, our phones have largely taken place of separate mp3 players, and everything associated with it seems expensive. An Apple fanboi throw some water on Neil’s fire here.

Benchmark Programs Updated
3DMark 1.2.362 – 5 bugfixes, SystemInfo module updated.
PCMark 8 2.0.228 – 3 bugfixes, SystemInfo module updated
Passmark 8.0.Build 1031 – 2 bugfixes, 2 new features.

Other Software
LibreOffice 4.2.2– Mostly minor bugfixes.
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149 – Security fixes.

wintersux

wintersuxIt was one degree at my house this morning with 3 inches of snow on the ground.
As a former Michigander I ought to be able to deal with this.
But this is Central Virginia and I’m over it.

The [H]ardOCP boys are fawning over the ASRock Z87 KILLER FATAL1TY mobo.
I’m digging the color scheme too 😉

Speaking of [H]ardOCP. Steve over there is collecting old computer parts for the underprivileged:
“I know that a lot of upgrades took place over the holidays and that means there is going to be a lot of “old” PC parts lying around collecting dust. Since the parts you and I consider “old” are 100x better than what most people are using now, I figured this would be a great way to put those “old” parts to good use!”
Help him out if you can. Announcement here. Forum post here.

LibreOffice has been updated to version 4.2. Download.

Yes, I’ve ditched all the social media associated with this site. I wasn’t getting anything out of it.
