Infinite Reboot Loop
Get Vista Out of the Infinite Reboot Loop "Configuring Updates Stage 3 of 3 0%" with Vista SP1
If you are stuck watching the "Configuring Updates Stage 3 of 3 0% complete Do not turn off Computer" and in the endless reboot loop, then stop the cycle and boot from the Vista media. You will need to "Repair your computer," so select your Vista installation and restore it to a point before the deployment of the updates. After gaining back access to your operating system, you will have to install the service stack update, namely Update for Windows Vista (KB937287). Deploy this update before any other on your Vista, and only then install the rest. At this point in time, you should experience no more problems.
"Update 937287 is a prerequisite package that contains updates to the Windows Vista installation software. The installation software is the component that handles the installation and the removal of software updates, language packs, optional Windows features, and service packs. Update 937287 is necessary to successfully install and to remove Windows Vista SP1 on all versions of Windows Vista," Microsoft revealed.

Tungle
Tungle makes meetings happen!
23 December 2009
Welcome to Tungle!
Hi Faridah,
We would like to thank you for trying Tungle. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think. With Tungle, you can: Easily schedule meetings with anyone, Share calenders inside or outside your company, Allow other to schedule meetings with you. But be careful, we've been told that Tungle is addictive. Keep on Tunglin'. Marc Gingras, CEO & Founder, Tungle.
Personalize your Tungle page:
Weaknesses of Tungle:
1. Can only schedule meetings
2. Cannot double as a meeting and planner
3. Pending Meetings list does not order meetings by date but as they are created on-the-fly
4. Many link to tools are unfamiliar or not commonly used
5. Too many steps to even document a meeting or post a meeting.
6. E-mail + phone call is easier to fix a meeting than Tungle.
7. Cannot edit in viewing or preview mode
8. Display mode is static
Overall:
Pretty colours and display but not so useful functionally. Can be improved for increased functionality.

CD-R and CD-RW
CD-Rs (CD Recordable) are intended to only be written to once. Once written to, the data cannot be erased, and the disc behaves just like a normal CD-ROM. CD-Rs are more suitable for archiving / long-term storage than CD-RWs because the dye used is less volatile and less prone to deterioration from exposure to light.
Compact Disc ReWritable (CD-RW) is a rewritable optical disc format. CD-RWs (CD Rewritable) are intended to be used in situations where the data on the disc may need to be replaced. Thus they can be erased and new data added to them.
