Best Buy Gives HD DVD Customers $50

If you were one of the unlucky ones to purchase a HD DVD player, you may not be completely out of luck. As most of you know by now, Toshiba has discontinued HD DVD and so while the players and movies still work just great, there won't be anymore movies released in the format ever again.

SlideRocket: Amazing Online Presentation Creator

Omar tipped me off yesterday to a rather amazing presentation creator currently in private Beta called SlideRocket. It's completely Flash-based, and the interface I would say is one of the best out of all the competing products.

Remember CanGoogleHearMe.com?

It's been a little over a year since we wrote about a site called Can Google Hear Me? As a refresher, the site was started by a guy on an adventure who used it to document his journey trying to get Google to hear his "great" idea. He got on a plane and headed to California so he could pitch his idea to the folks at Google, hoping they'd like it and bring him on to help make his dream a reality.

Apple Pushes Safari "Update" on Windows

Apple is obviously trying to attract some new users to the Safari 3.1 web browser that was just released on Tuesday, but I would say that they are using questionable methods to do so.

ESET SysInspector Computer Analysis

You may have noticed in the Daily Downloads today that I mentioned an application called ESET SysInspector that is currently in the Beta stage. From what I gather it's not an incredibly new application (released late last year), but this was the first that I had heard about it.

CyberNotes: Add Toolbars to Your Desktop

One of the things that I've come to realize with using a computer is that you can never have too many ways to launch an application. The Quick Launch bar is probably one of the most famous ways of doing so, and I've seen people who have a Quick Launch bar that takes up more than 50% of the Taskbar. Crazy, I know.
