I went out looking for reviews on the FRS Antioxidant Health Energy Drink product that Lance Armstrong is endorsing these days and I ran across this blog where the author has set out to try every energy boosting drink on the market. This guy has contributed hours of reading material on most of the drinks claiming to safely boost your energy. If you buy the stuff, it’s probably the best objective review site you’ll find.
Speaking of objective reviews, I came across that site because I am actually researching the benefits of fish oil supplements. The body building magazines seem to endorse their usage out of hand, but I’m having a hard time finding unbiased endorsement to verify the fat burning benefits claimed in so many places. Does anyone know of a good source of unbiased information on Omega 3’s and other supplements?

There seems to be several differences of opinion when it comes to Google’s new tools that they are developing to detect ISP throttling. The basic arguments seems to be if Comcast, or any other ISP, has the right to throttle back speed on what they perceive are broadband hogs. There has also been some discussion about tiered pricing by AT&T as well.
First we have Google’s stance:
Google has been very vocal on its stance for net neutrality. Now, Richard Whitt–Senior Policy Director for Google–announces that Google will take an even more active role in the debate by arming consumers with the tools to determine first-hand if their broadband connections are being monkeyed with by their ISPs:
“We’re trying to develop tools, software tools…that allow people to detect what’s happening with their broadband connections, so they can let [ISPs] know that they’re not happy with what they’re getting — that they think certain services are being tampered with,” Google senior policy director Richard Whitt said this morning during a panel discussion at Santa Clara University, an hour south of San Francisco.

But on the flip side we have what George OU stated during the conference and his feelings:
Ou is adamant that - whether it (Net Neutrality rules) forbids ISPs from prioritizing apps and services or it forbids them from selling prioritization - neutrality regulation would actually prevent things like video and voice from flourishing on our worldwide IP network. “If you forbid prioritization, you forbid converged networks,” he said. “And if you forbid converged networks, you get a bunch of tiny networks that are designed to do very specific things. Why not merge them into one fat pipe and let the consumer pick and choose what they want to run?

So what will this mean to you and me? It depends on who you believe. I personally believe that if the ISP’s are allowed to throttle back we could end up with a system of tiering, that may be unfair for those who just want to watch a video occasionally. A system of higher pricing just to view on the Internet, what we currently are able to see at a flat rate price.
But what is your take? Am I missing something here?

There is a great new channel called Green Planet that I discovered this weekend. I put in 3 hours of some of the best TV watching this weekend than I have in a long time. We are talking very high quality content. One of the show even had Bill Nye the science guy as host. It was really great to rediscover him.

I’ve been trying to figure out since yesterday why Microsoft’s decision to make the Sysinternals’ body of utilities available by browsing the folder where they are stored on their website was a big deal. I went to http://live.sysinternals.com where the utilities are now available and the best it felt was clunky. No wonder reporting on this “new” availability is slim. Ed Bott mentions it here
It just dawned on me ??? I can make it a network place in Windows Explorer and I have a folder with all of those utilities ready to use and the latest version to boot. Here’s how ???
Windows Vista
In Windows Explorer, just right click on Computer and then Add a Network Location. When the Wizard Comes up use http://live.sysinternals.com and complete. Now there is an entry under the Network node in Explorer.
Windows XP
The steps are a bit different in XP ???.
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Network and Internet Connections.
2. Under See Also, click My Network Places.
3. Click Add a network place. The Add Network Place Wizard starts.
4. Click Next to continue.
5. Click Choose another network location, and then click Next.
6. In the Internet or network address box, type the name of the network share that you want to use. ( live.sysinternals.comtools)
7. Click Next.
8. In the Type a name for this network place box, type the name that you want, and then click Next.
9. Click Finish.??
Default??security settings don’t allow the html help files to run off this folder unless you make it trusted. The choice is yours and up to you to figure out how to do it.
My next step will be to publish this via group policy so that it is available with my admin login on every machine in the place.

Too often we buy a computer, stick it on the floor “out of the way” and then use it. We turn it on and leave it for days at a time or we turn it on and off daily. How often do you think about the dust collecting on the fan? Dust is the number one cause of overheating and hardware failure. Smoke, pets, kids, coffee, lunch while you check email, and more contribute to PC problems. That’s why we should remember that regular maintenance is just as important to the longevity of our computers as it is to our cars and our personal health.
