I have gotten many emails regarding my Hide your noisy Xbox 360 in your basement, Watch it in your bedroom post.

This post is just a follow up with images, taken after pulling the Cat5E wire from the basement to my attic and back down to my bedroom.

The image quality is not the best as the digital camera seems to live in my wife’s purse, so iPhone snapshots will have to do for now.

With Windows 7’s launch just around the corner, Microsoft seems to be trying its best to come up with new – creative – ideas to increase the public awareness of Windows 7.

The software giant has gone from TV commercials to as far as letting people host their own Launch Parties. And now we hear about a new “Windows Café” opening up at 47 Boulevard de Sébastopol in Paris.
