If I don’t succeed in getting the YouTube Vid into this, the vid and article appear on Lifehacker’s homepage . It poses a very interesting question… what’s going to happen to skinning with the advent of Windows 8 on PC’s? You see, There isn’t a Start Menu and taskbar, nor traditional windows.

We’re also retiring the Google Search box lab which was redundant with the “Search the Web” button that’s already in Gmail.” –...
Caught this fresh out of Oslo…. Opera’s newest entry in the browser game is “ Opera Now ”. Looks the same, so what’s new? Password sync, a revamped speed dial that: “Now, in Opera Swordfish, those screens can actually show dynamic widgets, so, as Opera notes, those screens can show a snapshot from a weather-forecasting page - or, if it's programmed appropriately, that screen can show you a personalized weather report.

Now, when you click on the wrong thing, or on the wrong website (get some sniffing extensions, please!) this will pop up on you: picture from TheWindowsClub If you click on the “Start Protection” button, malware will be installed on your computer and it will “sc...
Island Dog just alerted me about malware Android users are being potentially exposed to: “Between 30,000 and 120,000 users of Android devices are believed to have been affected by new mobile malware which has its roots in the earlier scourge known as Droid Dream. Like its predecessor, this variant, called Droid Dream Light, appears to have been created by the same developers whose malware had infected over 50 applications back in March .

This from The Windows Club : Firstly, this isn’t antiviral software and isn’t meant to take the place of your antivirus.

Discovered in wandering around ghacks, I decided to take a look at this Utility (I’m a sucker for them) which Martin Brinkmann reviewed. Remember how fast your computer was when you first bought it? Cleaning and optimizing the Registry speeds up the Boot process. If you’ve never done it, and if you’ve installed and uninstalled software, you might see quite a difference. This Utility will clean, compact (optimize) and fix Registry problems (safely). If you decide to use it, then...
"Small. Really small." MicroPointing's CEO Ailon Tamir, “One square millimeter.” “The mouse in question is the one which will be replacing the "four-way rocker" used to control menus, functions, and other features of mobile phones.
