I've signed up my blog's feed to feedburner yesterday, to give me better control of my subscriptions in case I ever need to make changes to the site and also to get some better statistical information 
.
If you subscribed to my blog's feed, I would appreciate it if you could resubscribe at my feedburner feed - http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techfounder. After you've subscribed you can unsubscribe from the old one. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for reading my blog! 
I got repeatedly annoyed today by what I consider typical behavior for Microsoft products. Windows has the option to perform automatic updates - and recommends to do so in the Security Center (no one wants to see red lights in their Security Center. Does CODE RED mean anything to you? Also, everybody just LOVES updates. Unless it's from Adobe).
After automatic updates does its thing, it promptly suggests to restart the computer. Two options are given - Restart now and Restart later. What 'Restart now' does should be obvious, however 'Restart later' is apparently open to interpretation - as Windows will constantly remind you to restart every 10 minutes or so, and will forcibly restart the computer itself if left unattended.

Google and Yahoo have just announced a search partnership that integrates Google adsense in Yahoo search and selected Yahoo sites. We went from a possible Microsoft-Yahoo merger presenting a front to Google's search dominance, to Google increasing its hold on advertised search and starting a direct collaboration with its biggest search competitor. Google was the most dominant search entity before (upwards of 60% of all searches) and now it is reaching the status Microsoft has with operating systems. And we all know how that worked out.

My good friend and co-founder at Octabox, Adam Benayoun, has finally launched his personal blog after talking about it for a long time. Adam has a sharp business and marketing mind, so if you have any interest in hearing some edgy advice about Internet business development and guerrilla marketing, subscribe to his feed.
I stumbled upon a tool by the name of IETester today, that is supposed to render websites in different IE engines from version 5.5 to 8 beta. It appears to be working quite well, allowing to open multiple tabs of different IE versions. Unfortunately its Javascript support is too limited to be of real use for serious application development.
Still, a nice tool for web designers wishing to test their HTML and CSS layouts against several generations of IE, without having to resort to hacking multiple installations of different versions (such as multipleIE).
