Good news! Amazon.com has a 30-day price guarantee.  This means that if you buy something, and then later within 30 days, the price drops, you can get a refund for the difference.  This isn't something that they advertise ( I don't blame them), but it is something that they offer, and willingly do without hassle.

I have come to love the free nLite application very much because of the dozens of times that I have had to install Windows XP. It allowed me to enter things like my Windows XP product key along with my preferences so that I could stick the CD in, get the installation started, and then walk away.

At the end of September, Google Reader released their big update. It was a huge improvement, and in my opinion, much needed. It featured a new look, and a load of new features. Since then, there really hasn't been a whole lot of excitement going on with new features, until yesterday. Google announced on the Google Reader blog that a new feature has been implemented called Reader Trends which can be

Microsoft put a tight leash on Windows XP when it came to switching visual styles (a.k.a themes). They were probably afraid of what could happen if users were able to install any theme that they stumbled upon, whether it be complete or incomplete.
