Mobester sent me a PM about the dangers of Winzix and that you should look out for it when downloading files off the internet. Basically, more and more torrents are turning out to be rar files which when uncompressed contain one file that ends in .zix. It claims you need to download some nasty spyware called winzix to open said file. It turns out either the file has had its header changed or it is pure garbage (ie no real file within). No one should download this winzix for the reasons given by Wikipedia.
Ignigport sent in this story about Dell showcasing an interesting new monitor. A picture of a new Dell LCD surfaced recently and I must say, it is a thing of beauty. I mean, look at that clear bezel and touch-sensitive controls. That’s very Porsche Design or Philippe Starck At only a half-inch thick, it is also much thinner than most LCDs that are currently on the market.

This article takes a look at the Linux app Katapult which aims to make program launching faster and easier. One of the biggest reasons that the Quicksilver keystroke application launcher is so popular with the Macintosh users. All that is required is hitting Ctrl (or Command) + Space, and then typing a name to launch the program. Luckily, OS X users aren’t the only ones that have this great feature. KDE users have the great, free-as-in-speech, Katapult.
A similar program launching tool for Windows is called Launchy. Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!
Another productivity booster is AutoHotkey which allows you to automate functions with predesignated hotkeys. AutoHotkey unleashes the full potential of your keyboard, joystick, and mouse. For example, in addition to the typical Control, Alt, and Shift modifiers, you can use the Windows key and the Capslock key as modifiers. In fact, you can make any key or mouse button act as a modifier. For these and other capabilities, see Advanced Hotkeys.
I thought this programming language, LOLCODE was rather funny. HAI! This site provides community documentation of the emergent LOLCODE language. It is our hope that the examples can grow in a way that is both internally consistent and suggest a real, feasible computing language.
