Geek Shui Living welcomes Windows 7 with some Photoshop fun!
Ah, October 22nd is finally upon us. That means Microsoft's Windows 7 officially hits the market. Will users flock to it in droves after the disappointment of Windows Vista? Will it be as fast and efficient as Microsoft says? That all remains to be seen. Breaking from the traditional, boring review and benchmarking of a new operating system, Geek Shui Living decided to take a more humorous approach and highlight the bottom line for real geeks: "We hope its coded well, stable and secure, right out of the box!" Need a sound, trustable product review? Visit the geeks over at Gizmodo. They'll take care of you. Having said all of that, click on the image below to see how Geek Shui Living used the Marvel "Create Your Own Comic" Creator, the stars of the Mac Vs. PC ads, and an unhealthy dose of Photoshop to poke some good natured fun at what seems to be an otherwise good product from Microsoft!
Cybersecurity Awareness Month: IT, too, takes a village…
Well, its October! Along with celebrating Columbus' discovery (or rediscovery, depending upon your historical view) of America, Halloween, and, of course, Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The sixth annual celebration is designed to bring public attention and focus to the growing importance of cybersecurity, as it applies to our daily lives. Why "our lives"? Well, over the past decade the amount of electronically archived and posted data and information has increased exponentially. With each passing month, our personal and national reliance on our cyber infrastructure continues to grow. Thusly, an initiative that was originally intended to help business and industry direct their attention to the security of information and the information infrastructure has evolved into a concept that applies to the lives of every person who owns, uses, or has information about them stored in a computer, server, database, or other electronic repository. What are we supposed to do, though, during Cybersecurity Awareness Month? There is no History Channel Documentary, workplace luncheon, or national holiday (though it would be nice). No, this month isn't about parades or confetti. Its about getting serious about protecting ourselves in our "virtual" worlds....
