+As most of you are probably aware, the online television-like service [Joost][2] is [currently a private beta][1]. You can apply for an invite, but we've got one to give away right now to one lucky Monkey Bites reader (this isn't like GMail, Joost has given me only three invites since I signed up last year).
+
+To get the invite just be the first person to answer these questions in the comments below:
+
+**What were the names of the two grumpy old men in the balcony on the Muppets and what were they named after?**
+
+
+Be sure to use a real email address when you post your comment since that's where I'll be sending the invite.

+Earlier today Corel announced a new product by the name of [WordPerfect Lightning][1]. Lightning is a available now as a public beta for Windows (Vista and XP) and will apparently be free even when it hits the 1.0 mark.
+
+Corel is trumpeting Lightning as a "missing link" organizer for office suite users looking for a quick, lightweight way to organize, collaborate and create documents incorporating both text and images.
+
+If you're a WordPerfect user Lightning offers tight integration with Corel's flagship product, but for anyone else Lighning may leave you wanting more.
+
+Lightning is extremely lightweight, coming in at only 20MB and as its name implies it's fast. 
+
+The main interface is a Windows Explorer-like tree view that can be organized using folders and projects.
+
+In addition to the main window, Lightning has a Viewer mode and a Notes tool. 
+
+The Notes tool is where you can paste together text snippets and images to create and organize your thoughts. Creating new notes is one button simple and from there you can paste and format text to your liking.
+
+The Viewer mode handles outside documents that you'd like to group with your Lightning created Notes. 
+
+In my testing was Lightning's PDF support was much faster than Adobe's Acrobat Reader, but in the processes of installing the app Lightning decided to set itself as the default app for PDF documents without asking, which I consider downright malicious.
+
+In addition to PDFs Lightning can also preview a number of other office suite formats such as Microsoft Word's .doc files. Unfortunately the new .docx format is not yet supported, but Corel says thy hope to include .docx support in the near future.
+
+The downside to Lightning is that you can't actually edit anything in the Viewer application (probably why the call it Viewer) and there's no easy way to open a .doc file in another application. The cursor will nevertheless blink and tease you into thinking you can edit the document. The best you can hope for is to highlight the document text and send it to a new note, but be prepared to lose any complex formating.
+
+Lightning also supports online syncing and sharing. The web storage is hosted by Joyant and a free account gets you 200MB of storage, a calendar and the ability to share documents with one other free user. For more serious collaboration you'll need to pony up for the $15/month subscription fee.
+
+Syncing with Lightning is a simple one button process, but the simplicity comes with a price -- lack of control. You can either sync to or from your web documents, but there doesn't seem to be a way to synchronize individual files while leaving others untouched.
+
+Frankly Lightning's features are wanting even for a free public beta. Lightning is too obviously an up-sell tool for WordPerfect and Joyant's server storage to be a truly compelling piece of software.

+*	Corel has introduced a public beta for its new [Corel WordPerfect Lightning][1] software. WordPerfect Lightning is a free word processor/note-taking application designed to "make it easier to capture, use, and reuse ideas, information and images."

+*	A while back we told you about the MPAA pirating someone's linkware blogging software. The MPAA is now [claiming][2] that the software was used for testing purposes only, as if that somehow excuses the infringement. Dear MPAA, don't worry I'm not infringing on copyrights I'm just using MacTheRipper for testing purposes, none of my copies will ever be made public; let's just call it even, fair enough?

+
+*	Macenstein [published][3] an article yesterday that purports to show Apple's Safari web browser as a resource hog. The Safari team has [responded][4] saying that the problem likely lies with the sites loaded, not the browser itself.

+
+*	Microsoft has created a new category of Windows user, the "[maybe pirate][5]." In the past Microsoft's validation schemes have been pretty cut and dried, either the copy in use was pirated or it wasn't, but a new software update adds a boundary category for those cases where it just can't tell whether a copy is legitimate, for example, when a network error prevents the validation check.

+Well it's the final day in our Vista Month and I just stumbled across [a handy trick to speed up your Vista instalations][1] should you choose to make the leap.
+
+Blogger Kurt Shintaku has posted some instructions on how to install Windows Vista from a USB flash drive. Now why would you want to do that? Well this tip is mainly for those that have several machines to upgrade; Shintaku explains:
+
+>Why would someone want to install a client OS from a thumb drive instead of a DVDROM or over the network?  One reason:  Performance.  Installing Windows Vista from a high speed USB flash drive is in my experience the easiest & fastest way to complete a Windows Vista install.  This is much faster than using a DVD, gigabit ethernet, or possibly even some external USB 2.0 hard drives, due to differences in access speed & transfer rate.  To put this into perspective, y'know how installing Windows on a Virtual PC virtual machine from an .ISO CD image is really, really, really fast?  Imagine something roughly just as fast, except for doing installations of the OS on to actual workstations.
+
+Naturally you'll need a Windows Vista DVD and a flash drive. Shintaku recommends an Apacer 4 gig drive, but anything of similar size will likely work. The process is fairly simple, just format the drive and copy Vista DVD. There's a few command line formatting steps to set up the drive though, so be sure to read through his instructions before you embark.
