Proven: Pirated Windows XP Will Blackout
I got a call from a colleague this morning asking me what to do since she found another friends’ Windows XP computer to have no icons on the desktop. Thinking it was only a case of misconfiguration on the desktop icons, I told her to simply select “show icons” and it would be fine after that.

Flickering Pages In IE7 Under Vista Ultimate
I’m using Vista Ultimate for several months now without problems until this morning. While using Internet Explorer 7, I’ve noticed that some websites’ flicker, especially when the page comes loaded with flash advertisements. At first, it doesn’t really bother me, and I’ve thought that it was just an isolated case with the sites I’ve visit, but the problem became severe and it is very irritating, especially if you scroll the pages frequently. When the problem became worst, the flickering seems to sync with the way you scroll the pages. At this point in time, I’ve decided it’s now time to find a cure for this problem.
