Windows 7 – 7000 Dominoes
Crashing jokes aside, this Windows 7 launch party at Microsoft’s Hyderabad center in India looks pretty awesome!
I was amazed by how big and how many employees they have there, by the end of the video!

If your desktop is anything like mine, it’s filled with tons of icons thrown at random here and there.
And it’s not because I’m not organized (ok, maybe a little bit), but mainly because I need quick access to them for different stuff I usually do everyday.
Fences is a free software that might be able to at least organize your desktop.
It basically create delimited (fenced) areas where you can throw your stuff in.
I still didn’t test it, but if works as promised it would be very nice to create areas like “blogging”, “university stuff”, “photos”, etc.
Get it at Stardock’s official Fences page!

An interesting warning video made by Symantec Security Response blog (same guys from Norton Anti-Virus) on the dangers of shortened URLs (like tinyurl and others):
URL shortening services is basically available so you can share really long links/urls using a small address which will redirect you.
The problem with the service is that it’s fairly easy to use it for malware sites.
So, for the common Internet user, it can work as a trap.
The video is mainly an add for a Symantec product (of course), but there are alternatives like plugins (Firefox at least) which will allow you to see the full link before clicking.
Also, in case of doubt, just don’t click shortened URLs.
Tweeter, because of the character limit, is a place where you’ll find lots of shortened URLs… so just be careful there.
Just reminding that malware can do lots of damages, like finding out bank passwords and stuff.

If sometime ago we complained about how despite every hardware in a computer was being upgraded fast, but floppy disks were a thing of the past, today that problem is solved with pendrives and recordable media.
But there’s still one thing that had minor changes through all computer history: The BIOS.
It became so common that we computer users already accepted as a common thing to turn a computer on, and do something else while it boot, because it always takes a LOOONG time.
Enter Phoenix’s new BIOS based on UEFI technology.
The boot up takes about a second, and the whole process with Windows 7 load time takes about 11 seconds total!
This is, of course, with a fresh install without a bunch of spyware and boot loading software.. but still, pretty nice for a Windows PC!
Also, Phoenix says it’s possible to make that process even faster if the BIOS is customized for each specific PC… so I’m truly hoping manufacturers will adopt this.

If in your daily life you have to deal with several different computers/laptops but needs the same data to be synched around… I know your pain. ![]()
Usually, the solution is having a pendrive or external HDD loaded with the stuff you use. But that’s a hassle.
Enter DropBox, a virtual space that not only holds your files as if it was just another drive, it also works cross-platform with PC and Mac.
You can sync up your files, and even install portable softwares so it works just like a “virtual pendrive”.
There are tons of people who needs this, but from a blogger point of view, it’s awesome to have browser profiles, and all sorts of text and files in one space alone.
Other than that, it’s always nice to have one more option to backup, store and share your files.
Get it on the official DropBox website!
