Windows Annoyances - the saga continues

Can anyone explain this QUIRK?
The wireless network status in the first row, shows NOT CONNECTED but yet, the button at the bottom right says DISCONNECT.
How the heck do you disconnect something which is UNCONNECTED in the first place?

Another feather in the cap for the Micro$oft XP annoyances saga!

I wonder if this holds true for Vista dudes?

Wifi DRAFT-N - Problem solved from June 2007


No more worries, as Apple has already embraced this new wireless speed in their machines.

Industry pundits have given confirmation here. A new logo is born!

We've been shortchanged by Apple


If this has any truth in it, then all us MacIntel Notebook converts really got our hard earned cash being yanked away under our noses without us noticing it!

So much for brand loyalty!

Skype 2.6.0.137 FOR MAC (30Mb!)


Yay,
Finally an update (but still nowhere near to the Wintel version at post version 3 already, with games, etc.!)






However, this is still BLOCKED in the UAE from certain Telcos! So much for ADVANCED telecommunications!
