cannot see webpages

Rudy was using Internet Explorer, and unable to see webpages…

Microsoft Help and Support Article 926431, “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”, has some great suggestions for when this happens:
Run the Network Diagnostics tool in Internet Explorer
Reset the modem or the router
Use the Delete Browsing History feature
Use the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) mode
Temporarily disable the Internet security suite or firewall
Test Internet Explorer by using a safe mode startup option that enables networking

Before you consider using System Restore, I suggest you “prepare for the worst”…just in case.

Flip Video cameras

We talked to Mike who works in real estate about using Flip Video cameras…

Per their website the resolution is 640 x 480 pixels…VGA (Video Graphics Array)…256 colors at best. Think what Windows looks like during boot up, and in Safe mode.

I found a review at http://www.mightierthanthepen.com/2007/09/my-gear.html

Computerworld posted a video they shot with it:
