Cisco has developed a set of small smart robots, which can act as wireless communications relays, that sense when a mobile user is moving out of service range, and can follow the user to maintain connectivity. Cisco talked about the prototype box-shaped robots at this week’s Military Technologies Conference in Boston. According to Dave Buster, product marketing manager for the Cisco Global Government Solutions Group, the robots can follow a user almost anywhere to maintain connectivity. Published reports said the robots were part of Cisco’s “Information on the move” initiative – a wide-ranging plan to secure all things wireless. More..

Yahoo promises unlimited e-mail storage - Yahoo! News

In another reminder of technology’s quantum leaps, Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news)’s free e-mail service will provide unlimited storage space to its nearly 250 million users worldwide — a concept that seemed unfathomable just a few years ago.
With the move, Yahoo will trump its two largest rivals in free e-mail,
Microsoft Corp. and Google Inc., which currently provide 2 gigabytes
and 2.8 gigabytes of free storage, respectively.

XP or Vista?  Let me share with you two great ways to get it now.

Right now, you can buy either Windows XP, or Vista.  But there is a way for you to do it to get your cake and eat it too –get Windows XP with the Vista Guarantee – that means you can buy this Windows XP ( with voucher), and if you buy it before March 31, you can use this voucher to get Vista for free ( you may need to pay approximately around 18 dollars in shipping cost).  However, this will allow you to benefit both ways – you can get XP right now, and when you are ready, you can install the Vista without additional cost.

Please note that this is only upto March 31,and after that, you will have to decide since there is no more promo.  After that date, you either have to buy XP, or buy Vista.

The other thing you may want to note is that Microsoft launched in March 28 a legalization kit.  I will inform you why this is a great offer.  Before, when you buy Windows XP professional for instance, the cheapest way to get it ( about 8,000 pesos) is to buy it together with the
computer.  This is an OEM license, and while it is cheaper, the license is not transferable to another machine, and the only way to get it is when you buy a new computer.  If you happen to already have a computer without Windows, the proper way for you to get the license, if you want it legalized was to get Windows XP Pro Full Package which retails around 19,000 pesos.

So many people with illegal copies are stuck.  Now, Microsoft has recently launched a promo called Pinoy Genuine Kit, which purpose is to help people with existing software to legalize.  What you do is you go to a website    (

http://www.microsoft.com/philippines/genuine/)
and from the website, you can have it tested whether your copy is genuine or not. If not, you can buy a copy of windows XP Pro for only P7,599 pesos). If you don’t want to go to the hassle of the website, you can also buy it from ng Khai or NGenius. However, please note that you are buying windows XP Pro and this has no upgrade to windows Vista, but it is really low price.

Both promos are temporary, and are good ways to get the maximum benefits in licensing and keeping upto date in your software.

3G wireless will grow up at the CTIA Wireless show in Orlando this week, finding its place in Cisco business routers.
