Microsoft launches public beta for SharedView

SharedViewMicrosoft has brought its Tahiti screen sharing program out of private beta and given it a new, more descriptive name: SharedView.

The program lets up to 15 users connect to your computer over the internet and see what's on your screen. You can also grant other users control over your screen, which is useful for collaborating on projects or presentations. You regain control of your screen with a click of your mouse should someone start to get naughty with your PC.

You can also share files, and a future release will include audio, chat, and generally have a good old fashioned office meeting (without the office).

There haven't been many major changes since the initial release, but the new version does feature some interface tweaks. SharedView requires Windows XP or Vista.

Microsoft launches private beta of screen sharing software

TahitiMicrosoft has launched a new program that allows you to share what's on your display with up to 15 other users over the internet. The program, code-named Tahiti is in a private, invitation-only beta at the moment. Here's how it works:

You login using your Windows Live information. Then you can invite users to see applications running on your computer. You can also selectively grant control of those applications, enabling long distance collaboration on projects. If a problem arises, you can click on your mouse or press a button on your keyboard and you regain control.

If you're working on a Word document with other users, Tahiti will track changes and assign a name and color to the changes made by each user.

Tahiti also allows file sharing, so you can send files and documents to other members of your team without using email, FTP or any other external application. Tahiti runs on Windows XP and Vista.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
