The Taskbar Shuffle

Posted on the January 29th, 2007 under software by rayland

I came upon this great tool that I believe should be built in with Microsoft Windows. It’s called The Taskbar Shuffle. Well, the name itself is self explanatory.

No hotkey, no extra steps, rearrange the programs on your Windows taskbar by simply… well, dragging and dropping them! Neat concept, huh?No need to get all nervous when a program crashes or if you wanna reboot; you can reorder the programs/buttons on your taskbar exactly how you like.

Neat Right? LOL! Get the program now. It’s FREE!! No spyware either.



hey WINDOWS! LINUX has that too…

Many people are hesitant to switch to a Linux OS platform.. They say that the programs are limited and there are no equivalents for the basic everyday programs that are found on the Windows platform..

I agree that the selection of programs is limited. What do you expect? It is open source.. But having no equivalents, I’m afraid that is not true..

There is a project called “The Linux Equivalent Project“. Their site gives a long list of programs available for the Linux platform. When you look at the list, you would see two columns.. The left column is the “Windows Software” and the right column is the “Linux Equivalent/Alternative”. And the good thing is, they’re free!! Some of the software also run on the Windows platform.

You might want to check them out at the The Linux Equivalent Project website.



Have You Heard of the Toy ?

Posted on the January 16th, 2007 under fun, the web by rayland

I was surfing the web today and i came upon this site that sells independent vibrators for cellphones.. Then I thought to myself, why would you need another vibrator when most phones are already equipped with one?

I got interested and started reading what it was all about, and that’s when i realized that this wasn’t any ordinary vibrator, but rather a “VIBRATOR”. I think you know what i mean… LOL

It is called THE TOY. It connects to the phone via Bluetooth, and since it is “hidden”, then surely no one would know you have it unless you become obvious. The Toy has a lot more features that i’ll just let you discover from their site.. I wonder how strong it vibrates.. and when will they have a device like that for the guys? LOL

Do you Want to Buy a Hundred Linux Laptop?

Posted on the January 14th, 2007 under ramblings, the web by rayland

One Laptop Per Child, a.k.a. OLPC, hopes to bring inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world. And guess what? They are now considering the possibility of allowing these $100 machines to be purchased by the general public. And yes that means you! For them, it’s not about the money, but rather hopes of bringing inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world.

OLPC is considering the plan that the computers would be offered to customers who would have to purchase a minimum of two laptops at a time — with the second going to the developing world.

So, you might be wondering what the specs are right?
-500MHz processor
-128MB of DRAM
-500MB of Flash memory (no hard disk)
-four USB ports
-wireless broadband
-Linux-based Operating System
-dual-mode display (both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3× the resolution)

not bad for 100$.. i wouldn’t mind getting one..
