Perhaps one peeve of mouse ninjas is, if they want to open several links in a page, they have to click on each and everyone of them. While the middle mouse button provides a bit of comfort by opening links in a new tab, it doesn’t solve the problem of multiple clicking. And again, [...]

Shopping on eBay is one thing that you can really consider. Some things you can really get cheap online. However, if you’re trading internationally, you might have a bit of problem keeping track of dates especially if you’re in a different and distant timezone. In fact, that can even make you totally forget about [...]

Google Reader is one service that I keep constantly open in a tab in my browser. And a lot of wishes about it have just come true. The new improvements were announced a day ago but it’s only now that Google has finally given me an opportunity to try it out. In any case, [...]

Ever since download managers have become popular, the auto shutdown feature has become standard with these managers. Even peer to peer software have featured this option. While Firefox integrated a relatively better download manager (compared to IE), it doesn’t carry that feature. But at least you can install an extension that lets you do [...]

When it comes to dummy text, I always go by the eternally useful Lorem ipsum sequence. That means that I have to use its own generator or the text sequence saved comfortably in a text file ready for my use. However, for Microsoft Word users, you don’t have to pull up any other generator [...]

If you’ve neglected cleaning and organizing your files for some time, you may be in for one tough job. Ever wondered where all of those bytes went? While most of the “lost bytes” in Windows are due to the shadow files and restore points, some of the overlooked ones are due to empty directories. [...]

By default Windows only allows you to manage windows through the context menu with a meager set of options. Quite frankly you only get Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize and Close. Very limited if you ask me. Now if you’re looking for more functionality, then you might want to use a third-party window management [...]

Constantly typing www. and .com in the address bar is a tedious job. For www..com, just type the domain name and press Ctrl + Enter. For www..net, just type the domain name and press Shift + Enter. Firefox will automatically fill-in those up for you.
The same goes with sub-pages. Say you’d like to go [...]

Now isn’t this interesting. And you have to admire how people actually come up with these ideas. Here’s Tempo, a concept of a 250GB external hard drive that automatically backs up everything you delete.
Some might think it’s dumb to actually have an external hard drive all for the purpose of playing the role [...]

It’s one of the reasons why I never touched IE again even with IE7 and its attempts to be as good as Firefox. It doesn’t care about you losing all your work just in case it or Windows crashes. Firefox has a robust session restore as a default feature. But one consolation for IE [...]

Nope. It’s not Windows messing with you as always (it sucks how all those errors make you look like an idiot). But in terms of potshots taken, I bet you’ve insulted your computer a lot more than what a normal person can take in a lifetime.
So wouldn’t it be time for your computer to [...]

We’ve featured this nice DVD ripping utility called Handbrake. It’s probably one of the most versatile DVD rippers that you can get for free out there not because it has the most features but it’s because you can use it on three different platforms -Linux, Windows, and Mac.
Version 0.9 now features the following.

Re-envisioned [...]

At long last. After working a while with Windows Vista, it finally crashed on me! Yes. I do seem like I’m ecstatic about the matter and, indeed, I am. I’m still a bit pissed off since fixing the darned thing took around ten minutes of my productive time. But at least I now belong [...]

Ever wish you had a Magic 8 Ball every time you had to make a Yes-or-No decision? For some reason that Mattel toy never lost its novelty and we can still see a fair amount of references in pop culture.
Here’s one that can be used on your PC. It sits comfortable on your desktop [...]

Because of the popularity of Flash, animated GIFs have become a thing of the past. However, I still see quite a number of site featuring them. And I see a lot of forums avatars still using animated GIFs. Personally, I find them annoying most of the time. If you’re annoyed by animated GIFs too, [...]
