Paint.NET is one of my favorite free options for editing photos because it’s got a lot of great features, yet it is simple and easy to use. We’ve mentioned it on the site before, and some of you may already use it.
A few days ago I had the pleasure of getting my hands on a specialized Media Center remote by Gyration. If it sounds familiar, that’s because this is the same remote control that Alienware includes with their Hangar18 Media Center PC. So what makes this remote control so much better than any other?
Microsoft announced that if everything goes according to plan (like that ever happens in the world of software) then Windows 7 will be available sometime in 2010. That gives Microsoft more than three years to round up all of their new features, plan them out, develop them, and test them.
Both Ryan and I are pretty personable people. We like to interact with the community here and elsewhere, and we like to understand and get to know our readers. Similarly, we’d like our readers to know a little bit about us too!
One of the best sites that I’ve come across for those who enjoy food and entertaining is Chow.com. There are so many different recipe and food sites out there these days, but most of them have a listing of recipes and nothing more.
One feature that I’ve always wanted in Gmail was the ability to organize my labels in a folder-like structure. By that I mean that I want to nest the labels one inside of another so that my list isn’t quite so long. This kind of structure is probably referred to the most as sub-labels.
Imagine if you could control objects around you with your thoughts, like a robot made specifically for those with special needs. Or, imagine controlling a video game with your thoughts instead of a controller. The idea may seem far-fetched, but it’s not. The video below will explain exactly what I’m talking about:
I’m not sure if you’ve visited Yahoo! Answers before, but it is a very active community where everyone tries to help each other. They even have an area dedicated to just computer and Internet related questions for those of you who are having PC problems.
The post that you're reading was typed in Google Docs so that I could checkout the new additions to the "word count" feature.
Yesterday Opera Watch "tagged" me so that I would write about 5 things that could make Opera better. This is kind of like a game, and since I can normally come up with a list of improvements for nearly any application, I thought it would be kind of fun.
Bill Gates must be seeing $$ signs after Microsoft announced that they had a reported $13.37 BILLION in revenue for the quarter ending on June 30th. And for their fiscal year which just wrapped up, their reported revenue was $51.12 billion, a 15% increase from last year!
We’re stepping away from the humorous technology types of jokes today and changing gears to something non-tech related - accidents. I know, how funny could that be? But, they are.
The Windows Connected Blog received an announcement today from Microsoft that they were told to share with everyone. It basically said that there will be no Vista SP1 Beta download available this week for the public, and that only a small set of testers will be receiving it. Here’s what the message said:
We had heard about a corporate version of YouTube coming, but all of a sudden YouTube launched a new feature for everyone that lets you customize the YouTube player. It’s definitely a unique aspect that I think some sites will really grasp onto, but as it stands right now it looks as though you can only choose from a few default themes.
If you head on over to The Pirate Bay, you’ll notice that once again, their logo has been changed.
Sales figures for the PC Market have been updated and Apple fans have reason to celebrate after Apple has reclaimed their position as the third largest PC seller in the US market. How did the other PC vendors do? Here are the top five:
Bloat-free seems to be a new trend these days, first with Dell offering an option to opt-out of some of the unnecessary “stuff” and now with Wal-Mart’s new budget computer.
Lately I’ve been what I like to call a "patent stalker enthusiast" because I find it interesting to watch what companies have in store for us. On my daily scavenger hunt I came across an Apple Patent that is pretty blatant in its purpose.
Are you still one of the people who have patiently been waiting for Microsoft to launch the @Live.com email addresses? We’ve showed you plenty of tricks in the past as to how you can get one of those coveted addresses (here, here, and here), but they were all taken down very quickly.
