- If you are doing digital photography, and these days, who isn’t, then chances are you will be in need of an image editing program. If you have the money, you can spend around $600 for a copy of Photoshop or, for less functionality, you can get Photoshop Elements for about $100.

- Is anybody aware of a print setting where you can print off digital signatures with Microsoft's digital signature function? The documents we are signing are mainly for internal use, but it would be nice if when we printed the document it showed that this document was signed on this date by this user. Also, if this is not an option is anybody aware of a macro or another solution that will print a timestamp and userID on a MS document? Thanks! |

- By Aaron O. Patrick, The Wall Street Journal LONDON -- Microsoft is making a global push to sell advertisements targeted at the interests and demographic of individual users on its popular Hotmail email service, msn.com news page and other Microsoft-owned sites.

Anything excess units can be sold whenever, but the local circulars will advertise each Best Buy having 25 units in stock for people to buy on New Year's Eve. We don't have confirmation of this, but we've seen them do this kind of thing for Wiis and Xbox 360s, so a big Sunday Sale isn't out of the question. – Jason Chen Rumor: |
