Intel spills the beans on Vista service pack release date

Windows Vista UltimateWith Windows Vista barely out the door, Microsoft's been quiet about when the company will issue its first major update for the operating system.

But someone forgot to send the memo to Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who made some comments regarding Vista Service Pace 1 during a financial presentation this week. Responding to a question about how enterprise users have been slow to adopt Vista, Otellini said he expected that to change when Microsoft release an operating system update in the fourth quarter of 2007, "probably in the October-November time frame."

Officially, Microsoft says it's still too early to put a date on the release. Does that mean Otellini leaked some information that he shouldn't have? Or was he just stating his assumption that Service Pack 1 would be available later this year. Either way, we're going to assume Otellini's educated guess is a heck of a lot more educated than ours.

I don't want to spoil it or anything, but "Let's go kick some proprietary ass" is one quote I'm unlikely to forget any time soon.

[Thanks (I think), Matt!]

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
