iTunes 8.1 refused to install on my Windows 7 machine repeatedly – now I get the failure shown below. But to be fair, my buddy is getting all sorts of Sidebar errors under Windows Vista Business;

The simple act of plugging in the iPhone usually goes without a hitch. After installing iTunes 8.1 (x86, Windows 7) I think the phone is detected five out of ten times. The bigger issue is that this is how I charge the sucker! It doesn't charge when the device isn't detected. *Grumpy Gills*

Here is the error my buddy gets today: "The Sidebar gadget "" seems unresponsive. Would you like want to close it to ensure stability of the Sidebar?" Good job on the grammar Microsoft. See below for how to reproduce it.

Per our Skype conversation here is how to reproduce the error:

[7:15:42 PM] MNsh: umm thats a vista business error

[7:15:57 PM] MNsh: i booted my laptop with 3 monitors and it wasnt having it

[7:16:35 PM] MNsh: we have a usb hook up to have 3 montiors and i put the sidebar on the third and it gave that error on startup

View GPS Data With Exif Viewer 1.45

Ever wonder where someone’s photo was taken, or with what camera? On this site you can see those details with a Firefox add-on; Exif Viewer 1.45. You can see the camera make and model as well as the resolution with this cool tool – but the coolest feature by far is the ability to click a link and see where on Google Maps, Google Earth, Mapquest and others where the picture was taken. See the cool screenshot.

Not to be outdone there is a similar plug-in for Internet Explorer. You can view Exif information in IE with Exif Viewer by Opanda (IExif).

Fun to do with the photos.

I like this new system of achievement points in World of Warcraft, you finally get noted for things like carrying the Warsong Gulch flag three times without dying. ([Ironman], screenshot below).
And yes that was the three to zero game. I carried it straight from the start to the end without a drop, although I was being beat upon. Good times.

The Alliance decided to storm Thrall leader of the Horde in Orgrimmar, too bad for them, they didn’t make it. We don’t take to kindly to that so we took out the King of Ironforge! All was over in a matter of minutes, raid of 40-45.

We attempted Stormwind there after, but a snitch gave our positions away. We were easily going to own that boss as well if it wasn’t for this.

Edit: Here is the WoW Forums post about our raid.
