SP3 Failed to install Anonymous -- 14/05/08

AS an early adopter I endeavoured to download and install SP3 for Windows XP Home Edition (as in the graphics attached to the article)
When it did not install I went to the Discussion Groups and found many others with the same problem. I applied all the suggested fixes to no avail then contacted Microsoft for assistance. It would appear MS Aust is yet to be in a position to assist particularly when you have an OEM version of Win XP
1. my problems with sp3 Anonymous -- 16/05/08
  
  I tried to install the sp3 update from Microsoft's site and my computer would boot to a blue screen. I had to have a tech from Friendly Computers come to my house to fix my computer. It took him about 45 minutes, and their rates were really reasonable. I am not sure what the problem was, but if you are having any problems, I recommend their services. Their site is www.friendlycomputers.com and you can find the closest location on their site.

I'm a celebrity, don't back me up
Celebrity comes with its perks — free alcohol, better-looking partners, lots of holiday time — and disadvantages — constant media intrusions, being forced to appear in films with Eddie Murphy for the long-term good of your career, and having to do mindless radio interviews with angry men who've been awake since 4am.
Lies, damned lies and telco stupidity
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Dear carriers: More walking, less talking
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all — and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
