Looks like some has taken it upon them self to make a Microsoft AD that show that anyone (even a 4 3/4 year old) can use Microsoft Fix It web site to fix problem with their computer.
Personally, this is not all that exciting as Steph has been doing this sort of stuff since she was 9 months old.
This picture is just amazing photo from the launch of the Ares 1-X test launch going supersonic.

Microsoft has just released the new RDP 7 client for Windows XP and Vista to take advantage of the new features when connecting to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Bellow is a summary of some of the new features:
Web Single Sign-On (SSO) and Web forms-based authentication Its Here! Its Here! To my absolute pleasure my Dell 21.5” Widescreen HD Multi Touch Monitor (SX2210T) with Webcam and Microphone arrived last night. I waited for my daughter and wife to go to bed and then I had the absolute cracking the box open to see what it could do.
Below are a few photos and comments from the opening:
The box looks pretty standard but was glad that it looked a little bigger than I expected as that had to mean the monitor was bigger as well.
The monitor still in its Styrofoam case with all the cable and stuff on top. Best to open the box horizontally and not by tipping it up side down as this will result in crap going everywhere.
If there was any doubt how to install the monitor the plastic protector tells you to plug in the USB cabled and then the driver disk and Yes it was really that easy.
All the accessories including a very nice cleaning cloth (see on left) that I think will get a pretty strong workout.
The screen tilted back the maximum to 25deg. Surprisingly the base is actually a solid piece of metal and will twang if tapped with your finger. This gives the whole screen quite a bit of weight which it probably deliberate so that you don’t push the screen over when you touch the screen.
The new and old monitor side by side. Was not expecting the screen would be so glossy.
Two USB ports on the back on the monitor. There are another 2 underneath along with HDMI,SVGA and DVI.
Bezel around the edge is a little deep but this is for the camera sensor pick up for the device.
Monitor all setup on my desk.
This is a shot of the four soft keys on the right of the screen the overlay is actually very easy to understand and i had no problems with the menu interface. It might be hard to tell by the arrows, tick and cross are actually on the screen with the buttons around the side out of view.
I also had a chance to use the inbuilt Webcam and Microphone with Skype which pretty much worked as expected.
Good.
Bad
Overall this monitor is very good and at $499au it is very good value. The HDMI input option is feature also nice as I can use it as a monitor for a Blue-Ray DVD or a Xbox 360. Cool monitor and definitely recommend for anyone who wants to use a touch interface with their Windows 7 computer.
I will give it a 8.5 out of 10 mainly due to the glossy finish of the screen.
Definitely a good gift idea for your children and/or wife’s computer.
The firmware update for the HTC Snap from Telstra is now out on the HTC Australian support website Here . The firmware update process is straight forward and it take about 10 minutes to flash the device. As this device is only Windows Mobile standard the look and feel of the phone actually has not changed much and the UI with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard already had the horizontal and vertical home screen. Two noticeable additions to the phone is that it now has myPhone and Windows Mobile Marketplace programs included with the OS. MyPhone enable users to backup the phone over the air and also find and/or wipe the device remotely if they were to ever lose the phone. The Windows Mobile Market place applications allows users to download applications over the air much like the iPhone App Store however right now there are not many applications that are support on the Windows Mobile Standard OS.
