Over 100 Free Literary Masterpieces by Zinio

While I’m not really a fan of reading novels or books, I must say reading them on my  notebook has given me second thoughts about it ( although it still can never persuade me to read Harry Potter! ). Zinio has provided over 100 all time classics Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Beowulf and the likes. And best of all, they...

Network Utilization Gadget for Windows Vista and 7

Call it the best feature or worst of Windows Vista, but the Sidebar is undeniably very useful. I find it more useful than OS X’s Dashboard or Yahoo Widgets to an extent. Although, it’s a fact that the sidebar takes a lot of memory in Vista and slows down the boot so it’s better kept disabled at startup. In 7, the sidebar is integrated...

Apple’s unibody manufacturing process is amazing, and makes you hate your non-Apple notebook as it doesn’t seem to get that much care during manufacturing. Apple has posted this video of the new...

Why Firefox 3.0.5 does not have the EULA anymore.

Just noticed Firefox updated to 3.0.5 on my Windows Vista installation. It consists of mainly stability improvements and security issues fixed. After the update installed, I saw an infobar appear right under the tabs which told me to check out my rights. Unluckily, I couldn’t capture that, and have been unable to make it reappear, but it’s...

Just because it didn’t carry the beta tag since it was started ( Hint: Gmail beta ), doesn’t mean that issues wont occur and that it wont need feedback...

Windows 7 handles application hang ups without crashing them

If you find any application hanging up in Windows 7, you’ll get options like these. Windows 7 will really try to restore the program to a working condition without losing your data using the ‘Try to restore the program by canceling the non-responsive command’. Vista used to show an option to restart the hung application in place of...
