Powershell: Copy files and additional files with different name

This maybe helps some people which need to copy mutiple files. In my example I search for Contoso in files called info_*****.txt I need to copy them and also copy the file data_*****.txt.
$sourceFolder = "E:\temp\source"
$destinationFolder = "E:\temp\folder1"
$files = Get-ChildItem $sourceFolder -Filter *.txt -Recurse | Select-String "Contoso" # Get all Files with Contoso
Write-Host "Files found: " $files.count # Number of files found
foreach ($file in $files){
Get-Childitem $sourceFolder | Where-Object { $_.name -eq $file.filename } | Copy-Item -Destination $destinationFolder # copy all info_*****.txt files
$name = $file.filename -replace "info_", "data_"
Get-Childitem $sourceFolder | Where-Object { $_.name -eq $name } | Copy-Item -Destination $destinationFolder # copy all data_*****.txt files
}

OCZ Vertex 2 Bluescreen after resume from Hibernate / Standby

Some weeks ago my HP Elitebook 8460w arrived. The first thing I did was installing a new OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and Windows 7 with Servicepack 1, I installed all the drivers from the HP Support Website and everything worked fine.
Now last week I tried to update the firmware on my OCZ Vertex 2 drive. Now with an Intel Rapid Storage driver installed, the OCZ Toolbox could not find the SSD drive and I could not update the SSD firmware. So I uninstalled the Intel Rapid Storage driver and updated the SSD. After I did this every thing still worked fine. But some days later I got the first Bluescreen after I came out of Hibernate. After searching for a solution I could see I am not the only one with this problem.
Now after some research I think I have the solution. This could be the Microsoft MSAHCI driver in Service Pack 1. After I installed the latest Intel Rapid Storage driver everything worked again.

Cleanup Windows Live Contacts

Some of my friends now get Windows Phones and I think it is important to start right and get the best possible user experience.
Cleanup your Windows Live Account. All your Contacts are saved in the Cloud, using Windows Live, Google or Exchange. You can not save contacts on your phone or sync contacts between your Windows Phone and your PC without the “Cloud” as your middle man. I think the most people will not have Exchange Online account so I would recommend using a Windows Live account.
Now when you start your Windows Phone for the first time you login with your Windows Live account and this will sync all your Windows Live contacts to your phone. So you can make your life much easier if you have a clean contacts list.
- Log-in to live.com and go to contacts.
- Rename your contacts with their real names, this is important that Windows Live and the Windows Phone can merge accounts with other services like Facebook or Linkedin.
- Add other services in your live.com account (Facebook and Linkedin for example)
- Cleanup your Contact list. You can use a cleanup function:

- This will merge Accounts and cleanup duplicates.
- If you still have duplicate contacts you can combine them.
