100 Million IE7 Installs
Microsoft announced Friday it has hit the 100 million installation milestone for Internet Explorer 7, a figure that makes the new browser the second most used behind IE6. #
IE7 has been pushed out to many unsuspecting Windows users as part of the regular Windows Update cycle for quite some time now. Many Windows XP users have set the Update to happen automatically and seldom do they check to see what update is being installed when they are prompted. So Microsoft can hardly take pride in this milestone. A software that people must specifically find, download and install is worth counting as opposed to something that is essentially pushed to you, whether you want it or not.
Ultrasound Pictures
As we head towards the homestretch of my wife’s pregnancy, we decided to get some 3D ultrasound images taken of our baby. We’d had an opportunity to see some 3D images of her at about 20 weeks, but it is nothing compared to what she looks like now.
As part of the package we got a bunch of nice 3D pictures and a 40 min DVD of her quite active and interesting movements. This technology is quite amazing and gives us a very nice glimpse of her appearance while still in the womb.
Another, approximately, 8 to 10 weeks and we’ll know for certain who exactly she looks like. 
Cheers

The iPhone
Apple has unveiled the iPhone. For those of you hiding under your rocks, the iPhone is Apple’s answer to LG’s Chocolate, Motorola’s ROKR and other forays into a phone/MP3 player combo. Why is it that Apple just seems to know how to do things right?
Handling Saddam
U.S. forces had no role in Saddam Hussein’s hanging, but would have handled it differently, a U.S. general said
If U.S forces where in charge of the execution of Saddam Hussein, there might have been less taunting and so on. But are we truly to believe that not even a single U.S. soldier would take a cheap shot at Saddam in his waning moments?
Need we remember the Abu Ghraib fiasco, the Haditha killings, or the countless videos I’ve seen portraying the random “justice” that frustrated U.S. soldiers are taking out on unarmed civilians?
Even if the U.S. would have handled the Hussein execution with a lot of civility, what purpose does it serve to criticize the way the Iraqis handled it? Especially when we’ve been involved in some questionable offenses ourselves?
Cheers
