Apple Down, Windows Up

published on December 17th, 2008 . by Markus - Add a Comment

According to retail statistics, the sales of Apple Macs has slightly dropped from 1 year earlier. However, the sale of Windows PCs has risen by about 7 %.

So based on these stats, are people finally realizing that Macs suck? (just kidding). What it probably relates to is the price point of each product. Windows PCs are quite a bit cheaper that Macs. Based on the current economic problems, most people are probably looking for the more cost effective solution.

Whatever the case may be, the release of Windows 7 next year, could help further increase the percentage of sales for Windows PCs.

Change the Date Format in Thunderbird

published on December 5th, 2008 . by Markus - Add a Comment

Are you using Thunderbird, but not happy with the current date format. You might be located somewhere that uses the dd/mm/yyyy format, or alternatively you might want to switch to the mm/dd/yyyy format.

Well this setting is not actually set in Thunderbird, it is part of the operating system itself. So Thunderbird is just displaying the date values, based on whatever you currently have setup in your OS. So to change the date format display in Thunderbird, you need to change your OS settings.

Example: To do this in Windows XP

Open Control Panel -> Language and Regional Settings
Click the “Customize” button
Change the Short date format to your preferred format
Done!
