Bill Gates is on a worldwide tour in support of Vista and during a stopover in Rumania he said he thinks Vista could [run life support systems in hospitals][1].

Penguin Books in the UK is [opening a novel wiki][3] where anyone can write edit and rewrite a collaborative novel.

+[Technorati][2] launched a new [search annotation feature][1] yesterday that allows logged in users to annotate and explain popular search terms. The new features is called "WTF" though in this case the popular acronym has been re-branded to the more family-oriented phrase, "Where's the Fire?"
+
+The idea behind WTF is that popular search terms often leave the uninitiated asking "why is this being talked about right now?" WTF lets the community explain themselves with short posts which then show up at the top of popular Technorati searches (screenshots after the jump).
+
+Niall Kennedy, a former Technorati employee, [explains][3] the new service succinctly on his blog:
+
+>Technorati WTF is a mini-blog post aimed at a specific audience. Bloggers who used to try and summarize the top search results on their own blog and attract the attention of searchers can now add a note and possibly gain a reputation directly on the Technorati search result page.
+
+Any given term can have unlimited WTFs written for it and the top WTF is based on votes from other users. There aren't really enough WTFs at this point to judge how well Technorati's voting algorithm is, but the WTF for WTF (natch) claims that Technorati uses "a special time weighted voting system that means that the most popular recent WTFs will show up on top of the page."
+
+WTF holds a fairly high potential for driving traffic to your blog. For instance, if you create a term that gets some buzz, so to speak, you can write up a WTF and link to your explanation. If the community votes your WTF to the top of the heap, you'll have top billing on Technorati regardless of the rank of your blog.
+
+The outbound links on WTF pages have "nofollow" tags so getting your site a link in WTF isn't going to help your PageRank, but it will likely drive a fair bit of traffic.
+
+Of course, because of that potential, WTF seems like it's just waiting to be abused. For instance, what if company A writes a WTF about company B alleging that the later sacrifices babies under the full moon? Unless company B is on the ball and monitoring WTF, the misleading post may well be the only entry for company B.
+
+Of course the Technorati community can also keep abuse in check, but if WTF turns into a constant editing battle it might well lose its appeal.

+Continuing with the Ajax theme, today's tutorial is a little twist on the tutorial concept. Ajax is a constantly evolving technique and it can be hard to keep up with the latest tricks and gotchas, so to help you stay on top of things, we're gonna turn to everyone's favorite tech -- RSS.
+
+Yes, today's links are to a couple of very nice blogs, which offer RSS feeds so you can always get the latest Ajax goodness delivered to your reader.
+
+First up is Bret Taylor's very informative [Ajax Cookbook][1]. Here's a synopsis from the site:
+
+>Ajax Cookbook is a web site devoted to publishing small, reusable snippets of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS that are generally useful to developers of Ajax web sites.
+
+The code on this site is licensed liberally under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license so it can be reused in any commercial or non-commercial application, and none of the code depends on any JavaScript framework or third party library. Most of the Ajax "recipes" are just a few lines long, but solve a common problem. The goal is that you can copy and modify the code snippets extremely easily no matter what framework you are using (if any) or what your application looks like.
+
+The second blog I'll link to is one of the better Ajax-oriented sites on the web -- [Ajaxian][2]. Ajaxian covers just about all aspects of Ajax including changes and updates to popular Ajax frameworks like Prototype and symfony.

+To celebrate the release of Microsoft's new operating system we've decided to make February Windows Vista Month. Everyday we'll run a couple of posts focused on helping you get more out of your Vista experience, which mean tips, tricks, hints, software reviews and more.
+
+To get things rolling I thought I'd point out a couple of nice Vista factoids that I've run across in last two days.
+
+First off, if you were a Vista Beta Tester you probably got a key for Windows Vista Ultimate. It turns out, according to [Windows-Now.com][1], that key will qualify you for the Vista Family Discount. The family discount means that with the purchase of Vista Ultimate, you are entitled to two copies of Windows Vista Home Premium for $49.99 each.
+
+That's not a bad deal and kudo's to Microsoft for treating their hardworking beta testers right.
+
+The second tidbit is something I wish every software manufacturer would embrace embrace, the free 30-day trial. Yes you can try Vista for free for thirty days and see if you like it. 
+
+However it turns out you can extend that 30-day trial to 120, which might mean you can use Vista for free until the first service pack comes out.
+
+[According][2] to Jeff Atwood, at Coding Horror this trick has the official blessing of Microsoft. To reset your Vista trial you need to be logged in as an Administrator. Then fire up the command prompt and enter this line:
+
+	slmgr -rearm
+
+
+You'll need to restart your computer, but once you do your trial period should be reset. This trick will work three times which should give you plenty of time to decide if Microsoft Vista is worth your hard earned cash.

+News junkies unite, there's some new feeds to add to your readers. We [told you][3] this would be year RSS went mainstream, and as further evidence, the Old Media giant The Wall Street Journal has [added some more RSS feeds][1], including one for each section in the print edition of the paper.
