			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hyper V short for hypervisor based server virtualization technology, is saving IT departments around the world tons of time and money right now as you read this. Hyper-V is a powerful feature that you can find as part of <a href="http://www.softwaremedia.com/microsoft/windows-server/windows-server-2008-r2-standard-x64-server-5-cals.html">Windows Server 2008 R2</a>.  Hyper V allows you to optimize your servers by consolidating multiple server roles onto virtual machines located on one physical server. Windows Server 2008 speeds up the process by using specific advancements with their own version of Hyper V, that fully takes advantage of the power of x64 computing. According to Microsoft the latest release of Hyper V included increased availability and management of virtualized data centers. Increased performance and hardware support for Hyper V Virtual Machines, and a new simplified method for virtual machine deployment using .vhd files.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script src="http://content.webcollage.net/COMPANYNAME/showcase?showcase=CA" type="text/javascript"></script><img class="size-full wp-image-5095 alignleft" title="Chatroulette-with-SND" src="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-with-SND.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="166" />Tried your hand at<a title="Chatroulette" href="http://www.chatroulette.com"> Chatroulette</a> yet? Talk of <a title="One on One: Andrey Ternovskiy, Creator of Chatroulette" href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/one-on-one-andrey-ternovskiy-creator-of-chatroulette/">Andrey Ternovskiy</a>, a 17-year-old high school student, and his website has been circulating the world wide web waves for quite some time now. But if you haven&#8217;t heard of it, it&#8217;s basically a chat site that randomly pairs two webcam-enabled users to have at it &#8212; a way to engage in random conversation. Similar to the ease of spinning a roulette wheel, users are free to leave the chat or begin another random connection at anytime. <a title="Chatroulette" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatroulette">Wikipedia</a> has a  bit more information.</p>
<p>TechCrunch recently published a few interesting stats for users on  Chatroulette. By using data from <a title="Chatroulette Map" href="http://www.chatroulettemap.com/">Chatroulette Map</a>, &#8220;some scrappy programming, and a passionate tech community&#8221; from just under 3,000 sessions, TechCrunch found some (possibly not surprising) statistics. A few highlights below (or read the <a title="Chatroulette Is 89 Percent Male, 47 Percent American, And 13 Percent Perverts" href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/16/chatroulette-stats-male-perverts/">full analysis</a> from TechCrunch).</p>
<ul>
<li>Half of the spins will connect you with  someone in the US&#8230;</li>
<li>They also found 89% of the spins came up male, and  only 11% were female</li>
<li>The chances of getting a webcam with no person at all are more likely than one with a single female</li>
<li>1 in 3 females appear as part of a group, whereas only 1 in 12 males appear as part of a group</li>
</ul>
<p>Michael, one of our IT guys, praised to me how entertaining Chatroulette could be and suggested we have the staff try it out. He took the initiative, found us a webcam-loaded laptop and set it up. After witnessing a few sessions on Chatroulette with the brave souls at SoftwareMedia.com, I can&#8217;t say that Michael was wrong nor that TechCrunch&#8217;s Chatroulette stats were far off at all.</p>
<p><span id="more-5001"></span></p>
<p><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-5096 alignleft" title="Chatroulette-Brandon" src="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Brandon.jpg" alt="" width="137" height="108" />Brandon </strong>(Warehouse) &#8212; &#8220;It&#8217;s interesting. It&#8217;d be way funny with people dressed as super heroes.&#8221;<br />
Brandon was up first and got passed off a lot after many weird looks. Oh, did I mention we dressed a mannequin to stand next to him? After a majority of male encounters, he noted &#8220;I&#8217;d do it again, if it wasn&#8217;t just people looking for chicks.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5098" title="Chatroulette-Jeremy-and-Ashley" src="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Jeremy-and-Ashley.jpg" alt="" width="139" height="108" />Jeremy </strong>(Sales) and <strong>Ashley </strong>(Accounting) &#8212; &#8220;This is amazing!&#8221; &#8220;When it works!&#8221;<br />
Our wi-fi connection on the laptop gave us a few connection problems. Michael fixed it by plugging in the Ethernet cable. Remember that TechCrunch finding? How girls are four times likely to appear in a group? Well, Ashley told us she&#8217;d only volunteer &#8220;if I have somebody with me,&#8221; most likely because she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;appreciate the half naked men&#8221; the two encountered &#8212; 1 in 8 spins bring up a R-rating or worse according to TechCrunch. But Jeremy loved it so much, he was going to start it again right when he got back to his desk.</p>
<p><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-5100 alignleft" title="Chatroulette-Dustin" src="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Dustin.jpg" alt="" width="139" height="108" />Dustin </strong>(Development) &#8212; &#8220;Awkward.&#8221;<br />
Dustin lucked out and got to chat up a gal from Denmark. He did tell me, &#8220;I prefer to talk to girls.&#8221; And I bet the 89% majority of male Chatroulette users prefer to talk to girls as well&#8230; He probably had the most pleasant experience, although it would be less &#8220;awkward with less people running around&#8221; &#8212; people as in co-workers looking for ways to harass him later. Ha.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Billy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5101" title="Chatroulette-Billy" src="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Billy.jpg" alt="" width="139" height="108" /></a>Billy </strong>(Sales) &#8212; &#8220;Freaky people! It&#8217;s weird just seeing someone there.&#8221;<br />
It was going well in the beginning&#8230; but as Billy chatted it up, he incidentally encountered a spin that was beyond a R-rating. Sorry Billy! That immediately ended his first session of Chatroulette but he hinted at the possibility of giving it another go, &#8220;cause I&#8217;m so intrigued.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Casey.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5102 alignleft" title="Chatroulette-Casey" src="http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Chatroulette-Casey.jpg" alt="" width="139" height="108" /></a>Casey </strong>(Development ) &#8212; &#8220;Way too much&#8230;&#8221;<br />
Pressured by a couple of nameless co-workers, Casey gave it a go and enjoyed a very entertaining session. Would he do it again? &#8220;No, I want to keep my marriage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Curious for more stats? In addition to <a title="Chatroulette Is 89 Percent Male, 47 Percent American, And 13 Percent Perverts" href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/16/chatroulette-stats-male-perverts/">TechCrunch</a>, <a title="Chatroulette takes the college crowd by storm" href="http://blog.comscore.com/2010/03/chatroulette_takes_the_college.html">Comscore</a> also did an analysis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe’s </a>new Flash Platform Services, unveiled Monday, assists in making Flash applications easier to share, and specifically targets social networking sites and mobile devices.  The new program will allow users to share Flash apps and games, instead of having to point to a link.  Advertisers will benefit most from the new platform, which will greatly improve content publisher’s ability to distribute, track, and monetize flash content.</p>
<p>How good is this? A better way to for advertisers to penetrate and track the lives of internet denizens?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a message posted to a forum on the MSDN site about 2 weeks ago, one of Microsoft&#8217;s programming writers said that &#8220;A Windows 7 interoperability pack, known as the Windows 7 Client Platform Update, is to be released alongside Windows 7 in October of this year.&#8221; This update will be made available as a &#8220;Recommended Update&#8221; on the Microsoft Download Center and will support all versions of Vista, including the entry-level Basic and Starter editions. The &#8220;Ribbon&#8221; interface is a wide, ribbon-like display at the top of a window that replaces traditional drop-down menus and toolbars that have been the norm for Windows applications for decades. This update would allow Vista users to take advantage of the ribbon-menu in applications that have been written to support it. Windows 7 applications that have taken advantage of the ribbon interface include the re-designed Paint and Wordpad programs. One good example of the Ribbon Interface is Office 2007&#8242;s &#8220;Fluent user interface&#8221;, which so many people had a hard time adapting to. You can see this interface in action at<a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101679481033.aspx" target="_blank"> Microsoft&#8217;s Website</a>.</p>
<p>Many people have expressed concern about the switch from traditional drop-down menus to the Ribbon interface. What do you think of the new Ribbon interface that may become the new norm for Windows applications?</p>
