Plugins and filters extend Photoshop by providing new functionality and effects that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to achieve or by simplifying a process - here we round up the best Freebies
The myth that deleting the Prefetch folder on Windows improves the shutdown time is false.
See how your site looks in various versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Netscape, Mozilla, Firebird, Dillo, Opera, Seamonkey, K-Meleon, Konquerer and more. Counted a total of 30 setups between Linux, Mac, and Windows. Also configurable to see your site in different resolutions. Too cool =)
Wow… This site gives you a way to get virtually ALL drivers for EVERYTHING internal. I have already built a DVD install disk and installed it on some of the newer machines, and it does great. Saves me a TON of time. I just hope the site doesn’t go under for bandwidth. 
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has asked the United States Supreme Court to overturn a dangerous patent law ruling that could pose a serious threat to Free and Open Source Software projects.
Man … I cannot believe I’m writing this, but my backup plan for data has failed me horribly here at home … I’m reduced to having to use a freaking Undelete program on my 2nd backup drive (that does not have any harddrive activity outside of backing up those files thankfully).
My problem was that I relied on one single program - SyncBack SE … it somehow failed me today and instead of doing a backup, it went through and deleted all of my data. WTF Chuck? Well, now it’s off to look for a new backup program out there as this one obviously failed me bigtime.
Any help with this would be much appreciated …
While web-based office apps seem to be popping out of the woodwork almost daily—ajaxWrite, Writely, zoho, Num Sum—ThinkFree has been trying to take the productivity software market online since 1999. Today ThinkFree releases a major update to its suite, upgrading free online storage space from 30MB to 1GB and adding a new lightweight AJAX-based collaboration feature and the ability to apply folksonomy to a document through “tagging” (very Web 2.0). Another Web 2.0 feature of the suite is Mashup—when a web application incorporates functionality with other web services. In ThinkFree’s case, the combination is with Flickr for inserting pictures into documents now, and later the company plans integrating Google and Yahoo for maps, and with del.icio.us for shared bookmarking. ThinkFree uses both AJAX and Java. The company admits that AJAX is more portable in that it doesn’t require a plug-in, but they contend that Java is needed to provide true Microsoft Office compatibility and functionality. Solutions like ajaxWrite can mimic an installed word processor interface with some success, but ThinkFree’s take is that they don’t want to limit users to one browser, as ajaxWrite does. And ThinkFree goes a lot farther than ajaxWrite in mimicking Microsoft Office functionality. Note that the office suite doesn’t include a database app, so it’s not really a complete replacement for Microsoft Office. (more…)
