Windows 7 has a function to update the wallpaper from images bundled in an RSS feed.
Finally, after constant requests to push custom wallpaper out to corporate users, Windows gets this as a standard feature!
Can't wait....

DStv HD to launch before August
Snipped from the DSTV forums:
Unless there is a really big train smash about to happen, HD will be with us within the next few weeks.
That means the launch of the HD PVR (costing about the same as the current PVR) as well as at least one full-time HDTV channel.
An option to keep your existing PVR and add an HD PVR to it will be made available at negligible cost.
A stand-alone HD PVR will have the same monthly cost as the current PVR.
A stand-alone HD PVR will have the same monthly cost as the current PVR.
Any installation with one-only wire will not be able to use the HD PVR.
The HD PVR requires 4 feeds originating from at least 2 independant LNB feeds.
(I.e. a quad LNB or a twin running through a multiswitch)
A SATCR (single cable LNB solution) might also be available at launch - but that requires all decoders connected to it to be SATCR capable - and currently only the HD PVR will be SATCR capable. (I.e. it is not a solution for a block of flats, etc.)

How many news shows will be made?
A quick end to the walkout might result in TV viewers seeing a more new episodes of their favourite shows this season. A script takes about three weeks to write and about 40 working days to produce, so it could take as long as two months for the first new shows to air.
But once a production has scripts and is up and running, episodes are worked on concurrently and an hour-long show can be produced within eight days.
That could allow an hour long drama to return with perhaps a half-dozen new episodes, and a half-hour comedy to squeeze in as many as seven new shows for the rest of the season.
Networks, however, are likely to pick and choose among shows, with low-rated newcomers less likely to get deals for more episodes than a series like "Grey's Anatomy," which has a big, faithful audience.
The Strike is Over
- The good news:
The strike is done - The skinny:
WGA officials will meet Sunday to officially endorse the agreement, and then, pending approval from the majority of the guild, the strike that began Nov. 5 and took down the Golden Globes—and perhaps a little bit of Hollywood's soul—will be formally, and finally, over. - The bad news:
It was unclear how much of this TV season will or can be salvaged, but there's hope that the networks can get a hefty portion of their prime-time lineups back on track for spring. Most scripted series normally don't wrap production until around March, so some time presumably would remain to get cranking and resume shooting. Most shows will however have shorter run than normal.

The insanity goes on for little longer.
After fleecing Microsoft and forcing the whole internet into chaos, Eolas happily takes the money and permits us to use functionality that was stripped from IE in 2006. (I wonder why Firefox wasn't targeted in a similar manner?)
Here is the funniest bit:
"Finally, the changes will be pushed to all IE 7 users in April 2008 as part of that month's scheduled updates. Users, however, can decline the update."
This is going to be a strange year.
