The most typical person on the planet

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, March 4th, 2011 at 8:16 am

The researchers conclude that a male, 28-year-old Han Chinese man is the most typical person on the planet. There are 9 million of them. But there’s a lot more interesting stuff in this video than that.

Chain of Fools : Upgrading through every version of Microsoft Windows

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, March 3rd, 2011 at 2:02 pm

This video will only appeal to mega-geeks like me, but I found it very interesting. The creator manages to upgrade through every version of Windows, and amazingly, a lot of settings carry over from generation to generation, even 15 years of products later.

Microsoft receives a lot of flack, but with a 90% share of the operating system market, they have a responsibility (more than any other company) to provide backwards compatibility and upgradability for their products. This is a pretty amazing testament to their software — you can upgrade from their original Windows 1.0 Operating System released in 1985, all the way up to Windows 7, on shelves today. (And for all you Mac freaks, no, you can not do this with Apple OS products. Each major version basically reinvents the wheel and you have to install fresh, backwards compatibility be damned. It’s a different philosophy for software development, but I thought it should be noted.)
