Microsoft withdraws Windows Private Folders

"Private Folder 1.0 was designed as a benefit for customers running genuine Windows," Microsoft said in a statement to CNET News.com on Friday. "However, we received feedback about concerns around manageability, data recovery and encryption, and based on that feedback, we are removing the application today. This change will take effect shortly."

Still…Private Folder had a longer life then Windows ME haha

iPod Watch Concept

Designed by Peter Burns, this iPod watch concept is envisioned “as a 10GB player with Bluetooth-enabled earphones.” Unfortunately, like most other concepts, availability and pricing are unknown.

NICE!!!

Microsoft's "ARGO"

The IPOD Killer  

Looking for a job?

Are you passion about .NET and internals? Prefer Code generation via Reflection? Do you want to work for the company who know most about C&C (Command and Control) systems? mPrest (the company I work for) is hiring!!!

What is more interesting, The project am currently managing has 2 open positions:

• C# over 3 years
• VC++/MFC over 3 years
• Multithreading

Although the project is confidential I can say it is a homeland security project for several large airports, this project is done by mPrest employees at Ashdod for Elta. We have our own offices in Ashdod. 

The 1st phase of the projcet is completed and now we have a very interesting task which envolve high performance GIS (C++/MFC) that work with .NET components (via COM). So you MUST know both enviorments and understanding of C++ to .NET interoperability (CCW).

A Quiz

Who can tell me what is wrong with this code:

    public class SomeClass

    {

        System.Timers.Timer timer;

        public SomeClass()

        {

            timer = new Timer(1000);

            timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);

        }

        public void Start()

        {

            timer.Start();

        }

    }

Notice: I marked the WHERE, I want to know the WHY .

Notice: for synchronization we need a LOCK but this still not the problem
