The next pre-release of the eagerly awaited Windows 7 is now out. It can be obtained through the Microsoft website (http://bit.ly/Ovq8H). If you are interested in upgrading from build 7000 I would advise that you hurry up and download it before they decide to limit the number of downloads.
A quick word of warning to those who followed my triple boot tutorial: reinstalling Windows 7 is most likely going to overwrite your MBR and remove Grub which means you won’t be able to boot into Ubuntu or OS X. There should be directions online on how to reinstall grub. I will update the post later with a link to such a tutorial.
*UPDATE* As promised, here is a tutorial from Fosswire which walks you through rebuilding your GRUB bootloader after installing Windows 7.

As of today, May 4th, 2009, Nokia has released an update to it’s Point & Find application which I reviewed a few weeks ago. They say that it is still an early beta and it has some known issues.
Unfortunately I can not test this version out as it only supports S60 Version 3 FP1 devices, and right now I am using a N85, which is a FP2 device.
As of now the app is only supported in the US and UK. However, if you click the US link you can download the SISX file. Here is a link to that page. If that does not work for you, download it here (its the N95 8GB version).
If you have used it and would like to submit a review, please write a comment and I will get in touch with you.
I am sorry for the lack of updates. Currently I am working on a piece about watching videos with XBMC through a VPN. Right now I have mid-terms, but the article should be published this weekend or early next week.
I am also working on minimizing the amount of comments I get. Russians must really love this site.

As promised by Nokia, I received the phone on Monday, actually Tuesday since no one was available on Monday. I have yet to seen the phone, but I was told that it has all the protective stickers. I was also told that they did not ship my memory card back. I am not too happy about that, but cannot confirm that since I have not had physical possession of the phone.
I will write another update once I see the phone on the 25th.
Currently working on the following things:
- Review of OpenSUSE 11 (ZOMFG!!!!)
- Documenting all my systems
- Mobile stuff
- Upgrading MikeTechGuy.com
- Various repair jobs for people
All those are coming soon, but this week is weird as I’m working 2 extra days.
