If you’re new to watching television on your computer, here are some of the best sites to catch all your favorite television shows.

In the news is a story on the large number of older PCs “in the wild” that could be recycled. It seems of the 7 million out there in a recyclable condition, only 500,000 will be recycled. Apparently the rest go to landfills or rust away in storage.

Want to create your own website, but don’t want to mess around with HTML? NetObjects Fusion came out years ago promising to make web design easy, and although it has gone through at least a couple of owners over the last 10 versions, it’s still a great way for people wanting a ‘normal’ website (and not a blog site) to create one easily.

It’s a really funny and strange world we live in. Chinese manufacturers are copying the circuit boards and designs of products from Japan and Korea, and they’re doing it so fast that by the time the originals arrive in the marketplace, they’re seen as the fakes.

My colleague James Cornelius came up with 5 reasons to hate Windows Vista. Well, I’m a Vista user myself right now (still on RC1, no RTM goodness for me yet), so here’s my comic response to James’ Vista rant.

Microsoft wants us to believe that Zune’s wireless feature is innovative and original. But hey, any mobile phone with Bluetooth can do the same thing today and has been able to for years. C’mon, Microsoft, show us some REAL innovation!

In a bit of an oopsie daisie, Microsoft’s OneCare anti-virus and Internet Security service claimed that Google’s Gmail contained a virus. It’s yet another false positive by protective software - will we ever be rid of the false positive syndrome?

If you thought Jim Allchin meant you could run Vista without anti-virus, he now says we misunderstood him and he should have been clearer. His clear advice is to always use anti-virus and security software, no matter what computer you use.

Microsoft Windows Chief Jim Allchin let his seven year old son run Vista without any anti-virus software and claimed he suffered no infections. The news has spread across the globe, with some thinking Allchin is crazy. But I’ve run XP without anti-virus for months earlier this year, and I didn’t get infected. Why did I do it, and why no infections?
