Microsoft Begs Hardware Makers To Take Support Seriously 543

Banana ricotta pancakes writes "Microsoft has confirmed that there will be a widespread public beta of Windows 7 in early 2009, while urging device manufacturers to start immediate testing with its pre-beta release to avoid the widespread hardware compatibility problems that contributed so much to the negative perception of Vista. 'There is not another WinHEC planned before Windows 7 is released,' Microsoft has warned them. Better hope that testing goes well."

F@H has around 300,000 active CPUs right now. If a cpu is a machine then, a 8-digit pass takes 22 minutes, a 9-digit takes 22 hours, a 10-digit takes 57 weeks, and a 11-digit takes 10 years. (lower/upper/digits) Impressive that even with 300,000+ machines it takes quite some time.

YouTube Adds Full-Length Television Shows 197

thefickler writes "YouTube has moved to put full-length television shows on its site for the first time. Historically, YouTube has hosted a bewildering and attractive variety of video clips, the vast majority of which have been under ten minutes in length. YouTube has announced that it had finalized a deal with CBS to offer shows such as Star Trek, MacGyver, Beverly Hills 90210, and The Young and the Restless. I can't wait to watch The Young and the Restless!"
