SysInternal BlueScreen

One of the most feared screen on Windows is the dreaded Blue Screen, or should I say, the Blue Screen Of Death (BSoD). Use this screensaver to summon that very own blue screen to your computer desktop! ( Or better yet, install this on public computer / your friend's computer, and scare the hell out of them every time they are away for a bit from the computer!)

Of course there's the chance that the kid will learn about the good part of religion, and the bla bla bla of peace and love. But there's also a slight chance that the kid will learn more about radical views of religion that actually promotes killing all people from other religions. If you want to prevent that from happening, use GodBlock!

Internet on 1998

Youtube User DiamondGB has recently uploaded a video of him browsing the internet on 1998. Oh how the internet has grown since 1998 up to now. 13 years of growth made the internet what it is today.

Sendoid

A new file transfer, and this one seems pretty promising! Sendoid combines the best aspect of sites like Rapidshare and Mediafire, services like Dropbox and protocols such as Bittorrent.

Kinect With PS3

As I told you yesterday, while Kinect is the peripheral device, originally meant for Microsoft's 360, though apparently, it's much more fun to be used for other things. Today, Shantanu Goel's project for Kinect is to make it work with PS3.

Although the code is still in pre-alpha quality, this shows that Kinect can be used with PS3, totally ruining Microsoft's intention to boost 360's sales with Kinect ( or at least, that's how I see it )

LMGTFY

Tired of telling your friend to google whatever they're asking you? Or do you just want to give a bit of sarcasm to your friend?

Use LMGTFY! Basically, you can enter a search term into the search bar there, and if you click on the "Google Search", instead of the usual search like google, lmgtfy will give you a link to be shared. If you open that link, you'll see an animation of a pointer, going to a search bar, enters the search terms, and clicking on the google search, with sarcastic comments below it.

For your convenience, it can even change the link from lgmtfy.com/q=.... to tinyurl! Making them oblivious to what the site's content till they actually open it! (Of course, it's a different story if they have the preview feature from tinyurl activated.

HTTPS

HTTPS / HTTP Secure is the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) as a sublayer under regular HTTP application layering.

HTTPS was developed by Netscape.
