Windows 7: Changes since beta for the RC...

This snippet from Gizmodo:

The Engineering Windows 7 blog has a list of thirty six "visible" changes coming in the next version of Windows 7. Here's a quickie list of the ones worth knowing and hotly anticipating or whatever:

Aero Peek—where all the windows on the desktop become transparent except the one you're highlighting—will now work with Alt+Tab. Just pause for a second on the thumbnail you want to scope out. Pretty awesome, since it means less mousing, more peeking.

The Windows key button + [number key] won't just launch a new instance of the corresponding app in the Taskbar, it'll switch to the app if it's already running. And with Internet Explorer, if you keep mashing its number key, it'll cycle through all of its tabs. To launch a new instance of a running program now, hold down shift. Logical, and nice, though as Adam points out, it could be a little simpler still.

Extra time before 2009 (exactly one second more).

Fireworks explode over Sydney Harbour during the pre-New Year's celebrations on Sydney Harbour in Sydney, Australia.

AT THE GREENWICH PRIME MERIDIAN, England -- Just a second, 2009.


It's going to take a little longer to say goodbye to a grim economic year, but all for good cause.

The custodians of time will ring in the New Year by tacking a "leap second" onto the clock to account for the minute slowing of the Earth's rotation. The leap second has been used sporadically at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich since 1972, an adjustment that has kept Greenwich Mean Time the internationally agreed time standard.

Some scientists now say GMT should be replaced by International Atomic Time -- computed outside Paris -- because new technologies have allowed atomic time to tick away with down-to-the-nanosecond accuracy.

But opponents say atomic time's very precision poses a problem.

A strict measurement, they say, would change our very notion of time forever, as atomic clocks would one day outpace the familiar cycle of sunrise and sunset.

The time warp wouldn't be noticeable for generations, but within a millennium, noon -- the hour associated with the sun's highest point in the sky -- would occur around 1 o'clock. In tens of thousands of years, the sun would be days behind the human calendar.

Happy New Year Everyone!
