I feel like I just hit the jackpot. I’ve been bemoaning the lack of support for Nikon NEF 64 bit support for as long as I can remember inside Windows Explorer. And I’ve been wishing for RAW support for NEF inside Media Center forever. I’m happy to say that there is a really nice solution. The free image codec pack at http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/ had all the answers and gave me the brass ring. Here’s a snippet from their web site on what is supported: Raw Image Formats Extension(s) Name

This is just nuts, but true. These guys have released a free AV product that does not require you to uninstall your existing AV. And it is written in the Klingon language? You have to visit their website just to see this one. A VERY clever marketing gimmic if you ask me.  Here’s a preview:   Why did we translate it into Klingon? Our routine monitoring of sub-space transmissions alerted Sophos that the loss of the Klingon battlecruiser Klothos was not due to Romulan incursion into the Khitomer

D-Link has once again one-upped the wannabe hacker community by adding a feature that will make it a whole lot harder for the script kiddies to break into your router  programmatically. The current crop of Extreme N routers now have updates available that add CAPTCHA to the login page. You can’t be too secure.. Right?

Here we go. The end of airline travel as we know it. American Airlines has announced substantial cutbacks in service , decommissioning of aircraft, and increase of other fees from $5 to $50. And if you check a bag, you'll need to cough up $15 for the first bag. Other airlines will surely follow. Can you imagine the ruckus when you board your plane, roller board in tow, only to find that there's no room in the overheads since everyone and their brother will be carrying on everything on the

This is the second time Microsoft has let down Vista 64 bit users who are also photographers. The first was on the lack of RAW codecs for Windows Photo Gallery, which the PIX team blamed on the Camera makers. Today, a new tool, " Pro Photo Tools Version 1 ", for pro photographers was released. And there is no support for x64. Thanks, Microsoft! I salute you, again, for your support (and I don't mean the 21 gun type of salute..) Technorati tags: Companies Not Supporting x64 Vista Suck

Here's some info from Mark Espenschied, a Marketing Communications Manager for D-Link Systems, Inc. in Fountain Valley, California. " A small number of early production DSM-750 Wireless N HD Media Center Extenders have an issue with a corrupted security certificate, which results in the communication error messages described in this post when trying to affiliate the DSM-750 with a PC running Windows Media Center. Unfortunately, this defect cannot be rectified through firmware upgrade, and

I've got this great DAP-1555 Draft 802.11n "Xtreme N Duo Mediabridge" that I use to wirelessly enable my Xbox 360. (You can buy these in pairs to add to existing networks. And if you want to use your 360 wirelessly, you'll definitely want "N" speeds.) The device itself supports both the 2.4 and the 5.0 Ghz bands. In my wifi oversaturated neighborhood, the 5 GHz side is truly a neccessity! My only beef was that the stark white color made the device stick out like a sore

I've just setup a production DSM-750 Medialounge Media Center Extender . This new extender streams everything over Wireless 802.11n Draft 2.0 (using a DGL-4500 in 5GHz mode) including High Definition Live and Recorded TV from a Vista Ultimate x64 box with two DCT (OCUR) tuners. Some unboxing and setup images can be found at one of my websites . Out of the box, the DSM-750 blows the dinky Linksys DMA 2100 out of the water. Solid construction and a nice looking peripheral that doesn't look
