An updated version of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac is now available for download from Microsoft. The Redmond company is offering the utility for Mac users to streamline the bridging of Apple machines and Windows computers.

Now up to version 2.0.1, the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac can be grabbed for free straight from the software giant. “Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.0.1 lets you connect from your Macintosh computer to a Windows-based computer or to multiple Windows-based computers at the same time.

Pingie: HTTP:: Students Plan to Spend More Time Online Studying than on Social Networks

HTTP:: Students Plan to Spend More Time Online Studying than on Social Networks
--------
If you were worried that your kids spend more time on social networks than studying, fret no more, as a new study by online academic network StudyBlue found that the overwhelming majority of high school or college students said they planned to spend most of their time online doing the latter. This might seem a little surprising but the data does come from an online studying site, not exactly the most unbiased of parties, so the emphasis should probably fall on “said” and “planned.”The study, conducted by StudyU, surveyed about 1,500 high school and college students aged 13 to 24 about their online activities. It found that 60 percent of them planned to spend at least three hours per day studying or doing homework online, more than twice as many as those who would spend more than three hours every day on social networks (26 percent).Other online activities were also less popular like communicating, either through email, IM or other means, which only 28 percent of the!
m planned on spending more than three hours doing. Watching TV or online videos was on top of the priorities for only 22 percent of the respondents. Online gaming was also, apparently, not very popular among the young people, with only 9 percent planning to spend three hours or more per day play...

--------

HTTP:: About the Security Content of Safari 4 0 3
--------
With the release of Safari 4.0.3 yesterday, Apple not only improved stability and compatibility with the software, but also included a number of security fixes, detailed in a Support document on the company’s official web site. Affecting Safari 4 for Windows and Mac (Tiger and Leopard), a total of 6 vulnerabilities have recently been discovered in the browser and patched with the Safari 4.0.3 update. For example, with the help of SecureThoughts.com, Apple has discovered that a maliciously crafted website may be promoted into Safari's Top Sites view. In the case of Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5.7, Mac OS X Server v10.5.7, Mac OS X v10.5.8, Mac OS X Server v10.5.8, Windows XP and Vista, it is possible for a malicious website to promote arbitrary sites into the Top Sites view through automated actions. The Top Sites feature provides an at-a-glance view of a user's favorite websites. “This could be used to facilitate a phishing attack,” Ap!
ple explains on its web site. “This issue is addressed by preventing automated website visits from affecting the Top Sites list. Only websites that the user visits manually can be included in the Top Sites list. As a note, Safari enables fraudulent site detection by default. Since the introduction of the Top Si...

Pingie: HTTP:: Introducing Xbox LIVE Tenure

HTTP:: Introducing Xbox LIVE Tenure
--------
On August 11, 2009 Microsoft shipped the latest update to Xbox LIVE, and members of the gaming community built around the company console will notice that the refreshed dashboard introduces a new feature dubbed Tenure. Microsoft explained that not all users would be able to see their Tenure immediately. However, the promise from the software giant is that by next week, the feature will be available for all members of Xbox LIVE with at least 1 full year in Xbox LIVE Gold status. The Redmond company revealed that it was rolling out the Gold Tenure to Xbox LIVE users, but that the process would take at least a few days to complete. Essentially, Tenure will be a number that will appear at the top right of the gamercard. “This is a number that appears when you are looking at Gamercards on your Xbox 360 console. This number will show how many years someone has been an Xbox LIVE Gold Member. Working with the team here, we’ve put together some answers to some of the frequent !
questions that we’ve seen in the Xbox forums,” explained Larry Hryb, director of programming for the Microsoft gaming network Xbox Live. Hryb revealed that the first gamertag, “e,” which was created on 8/13/2002, would turn 7 on 8/13/2009. The company however counts only the time gamers spend in Gold, all periods being c...

Pingie: HTTP:: Pre Order Guitar Hero 5 Get Guitar Hero Van Halen for Free

HTTP:: Pre Order Guitar Hero 5 Get Guitar Hero Van Halen for Free
--------
Music games are extremely profitable for the companies that make and publish them, as most of you might already have figured out, given the fact that we are bombarded with newer and newer iterations for titles like Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Another way for companies to get off with charging full game prices for titles that don't necessarily bring new improvements is by branding a game with a specific band. We've seen Guitar Hero: Metallica and we’ll get to play The Beatles: Rock Band, but there hasn't always been a lot of success associated with them. That is why Activision, owner of the Guitar Hero franchise, will employ an extremely interesting strategy when it will launch Guitar Hero 5, its latest full installment, and Guitar Hero: Van Halen, which will be a tribute to the famous rock band. It seems that anyone who will pre-order GH5 before its September 1 release date, will get a copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen, which isn't set to arrive in stores until December 22.!
That's right, Activision is giving away a free GH game for anyone willing to purchase one, the classic buy one get one for free strategy. Although the fine print on the promotion's webpage does say that you have to either redeem your code online, or send a normal mail envelope to Activision with...

Pingie: HTTP:: TF2 Classless Update Day One New Hats and a Map

HTTP:: TF2 Classless Update Day One New Hats and a Map
--------
Team Fortress 2 is one of the biggest online games out there, managing to win over fans with its distinct art style, tongue-in-cheek approach to weaponry and gameplay and for the top-notch online connectivity. Also, the effort of creating new content on the part of the team at Valve made plenty of players realize just what an investment TF2 was when it appeared in The Orange Box. Almost every class received an update, including new weaponry, achievements and scenarios in order to keep the game interesting. Now, for the first time in its history, the new content update won't be focused on any class, and, as such, it is dubbed the Classless update. As usual, Valve is slowly revealing each day new items and maps that will appear in the game when the update will be released. For the first day, characters in the game will be sporting 18 brand-new hats, in order to further differentiate their own characters and to show off their elitism in front of their enemies. The announcem!
ent is coupled with an extremely funny remark on how hats impacted battles since the dawn of time. This first day also brought news regarding a community-created map, called Arena Offblast, which promises to be “a fast-paced, high-altitude community map set in a top secret missile silo wedged into the top...

Pingie: HTTP:: Tracking Down the Planet 039 s Missing Carbon

HTTP:: Tracking Down the Planet 039 s Missing Carbon
--------
According to statistical estimates, Earth's rocks should have a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide inside them than proven scientifically, and the discrepancy has experts asking where the rest of the chemical went. The estimates were drawn from the amount of carbon that can be found in the planet-forming regions of our galaxy, the Milky Way, which should in theory be translated into approximate concentrations in the rocks as well. Another mystery to geologists is why meteorites found on Earth also have low carbon concentrations, when comets seem to show no deviation from the general rule. In the vastness of space, the interstellar medium is filled with dust containing carbon-rich and silicate-rich grains. These elements can be found on a large scale in this environment, but for some reason, only silicon made its way plentifully in our planet's crust. In fact, geologists believe, it's silicon that is the bulk material making up Earth, for example, and most likely ot!
her planets and moons in the solar system and beyond as well. But, until now, there was no reasonable explanation astronomers could think of that would have explained why carbon falls short of its expected proportion in rocks and meteorites. University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (UMAA) expert Ted Bergin believes that responsible for the de...

HTTP:: Microsoft Can No Longer Sell Office Word 2010 2007 or 2003
--------
Microsoft has yet to complete the next iteration of the Office System, but the company has been ordered by a Texas judge to no longer sell future versions of the Word components of the productivity suite. Judge Leonard Davis, of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, managed to handicap Office 2010 even as the product is in Technical Preview stage, with the release to manufacturing planned for the first half of 2010. The permanent injunction was issued as Microsoft lost a patent infringement lawsuit filed by i4i Inc. At the same time, the software giant can no longer sell Office Word 2007 and Office Word 2003. The IP infringement case is related to Word's capabilities of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML. “In accordance with the Court’s contemporaneously issued memorandum opinion and order in this case, Microsoft Corporation is hereby permanently enjoined from performing the following actions with Microsoft Word 200!

Pingie: HTTP:: Wii Vitality Sensor Set for 2010 Release

HTTP:: Wii Vitality Sensor Set for 2010 Release
--------
Nintendo is one of the biggest companies in gaming today, thanks to its permanent innovation and the fact that it manages to market its products extremely well, no matter how strange they may look or feel. But with the recently announced Wii Vitality Sensor, which was introduced to gamers at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) conference, the PR department will have a lot of hard work ahead in order to make it attractive for gamers. However, this doesn't mean that it doesn't have a high sales potential, at least according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who revealed during a recent financial briefing that, even though there were many doubts in regard to the new peripheral, it would attract the market. “Before Wii Fit launched, everyone doubted how well it could sell. As for Wii Vitality Sensor, I think it will face similar doubts as to whether such a product will sell well in the video game market,” he said. “Of course no one can tell how people resp!
