I dunno, I'm not knocking it, but it looks (from the demo photos) that it darkens them to the point of losing detail. I've always been happy with "I'm feeling lucky" in Picasa as far as cellphone pics go. Now, if this program was run ON the cellphone, then I could see a reason to use it... anyone know of any…

@friedgold: tell me about it. I just installed 7.7, and (after a reboot) it took 3 minutes for iTunes to fire up into a music-playing state. 3 minutes! It's not like it was redoing the prefs or rebuilding the library... just spinny-circle for 3 minutes until the window popped up. Wow... if ATI gave you drivers that…

@yug23: yeah, it is written for BIG Hi-Def Widescreen TVs. Once it is stable there will be other versions or options to scale.

I don't have an iPhone, have no interest in one, don't have an AppleTV, don't have AirTunes speakers or whatever.. I hate having that stuff running. BUT I have to upgrade because I'm having serious issues with 7.6 (ever since Vista SP1).

Nice little image organiser, would be good with a Picasa backend (if Google was looking for a new acquisition, like). One to keep an eye on for the future (wanted: basic image adjustments, resizing, uploading to Flickr/Facebook etc).

Keepass on a Truecrypt thumbdrive? Works for me :)

I can see where this is going, but I'm unsure how the viral marketing approach is going to help a product like this. People LIKE pc customisation, and this is a good idea. But.. it would be better if it was a standalone, $30 ad-free product. If it's good enough people will buy it.

answering machines DO have an advantage, in that you can use them as a call filtering device: let it go onto answer, and if it's someone you need to talk to you can pick up. If people just hang up then it was probably a double-glazing salesman or something.

built-in ads? next....

I always save a PDF copy of any documents I create in Word 2007 (just in the event that if Microsoft change the Word format in the future, I won't be able to open the saved docx file).

@CelesteM: "But then I'm the kind of person who can tell the TV's on from across the room, just by sensing the electricity."

it's getting to the stage where I spend more time "getting stuff done" than I do actually doing it... lol!

I've always used Aire Freshener:

@KennyM: I think you underestimate "the kids". They are the ones hacking their machines to death just to get better frame-rates from their games. It's a different kind of power-use.

I've just had a thought: that would be brilliant for an xp/Vista Media Center PC. Your kid has the remote, and they're pressing buttons leftright+center. However, when you restart, all accidental changes are reset. Don't know how this would work with a library, however, if anything you add is going to be lost at next…

@Leisureguy: thanks for that. The Glary reg-cleaner is FAST compared to other reg cleaners. I think this software will replace Vista Manager for me (especially since it's free). thanks!

I'd rather just boot into OSX on my Windows box. But thats a whole other post..

I don't think you can vote for a "best" out of that lot, as they are all pretty different and all pretty essential. If it was "vote for the best defragger" or "vote for the best anti-spyware" or whatever then I could see the point in it. I say: they are ALL the best. Get them. Use them.

I have been checking out FriendFeed lately (mainly, because of the Twitter downtime, thats where the technorati are migrating to. Apparently). However, this seems 100 times better than Friendfeed.. I like the running commentary/conversation, thats a great idea. I like this a lot. One thing that seems confusing though:…

awesome.
