You may have noticed how Vista often just doesn’t seem as fast as your old xp installation when it comes simple navigation around your desktop and folders. Menus take that extra fraction of a second to open, folders take forever to copy and context menus are annoyingly slow.

Alrite as I’m currently in the middle of some University Assignments I’ll just give a real quick post to show you Clusty.
Its a nice new web search engine. I haven’t even used it myself yet, but check it out yourself here.
I like the look of the direct Wikipedia search.

Some of the Vista wallpapers are pretty impressive images – but if by now you have tired of the golden field or even the craggy ocean shoreline, its time to check out Desktopography.
Desktopography turns desktop backgrounds into fine art.
The current showcase is the 3rd Desktopography Exhibition since the website began in 2005. The images are [...]

It can be frustratingly hard to find what you want on the Internet. I searched for quite a while for a free clone of the boardgame Axis and Allies.

I know I know.
It may be more then a little desperate to be revisiting IM app Digsby so soon, but I have managed to get 250 invite codes for those of you who may wish to try it out yourself. Just be aware this is still a beta release.

“Give your ordinary desktop new life” suggests Schillergames, the creators of Real Desktop, “enjoy the fascinating dynamics of a revolutionary graphic rendition of your desktop.” And that’s not all! “Your icons behave now, thanks to the powerful physics-engine, that you can touch and move like on a real desk.”
To me the premise of a 3D [...]

“The game is about driving a squishy car through squishy worlds, trying to reach the exit.”
Forget how boring that sounds and just download it and play. This is a fantastic and addictive little game that utilises ’soft body physics’ to give a frustrating, yet entertaining experience. The physics of the car and world are very [...]
