Alt-Tab Replacement Optimized for the Mouse

Being able to use Alt-Tab (or Command-Tab on Mac) to switch between running applications is something that I don't think can ever be replaced.

Digsby Getting Performance Improvements

Digsby is hands-down my favorite instant messenger on Windows not only because it works on all the major networks, but also because it is well designed.

The site is getting hammered pretty hard right now, so don't be surprised if you can't get through right away.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

This isn't technology news per se, but it's definitely worth writing about. The question of the day is, how often should you change your oil? If you're like us, you've always been lead to believe that it was a must to change the oil every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
