Microsoft’s answer to Nintendo’s Wii - Project Natal
Posted: Jun 22 | Filed under: Vista Themes
So, how close are we to the future? 
Hey, I don’t expect you to answer that question! *grin*.
Microsoft’s Project Natal does not require a controller .. Why? Well, *You* are the controller!
You can control the whole game using only your body movements and voice. The concept isn’t very new, but I think Microsoft will be one step ahead of Nintendo (at least until they release a Wii2), because the motion tracking of Natal is a lot more accurate and highly advanced!

Alarm Clock that plays MP3
Posted: Jun 10 | Filed under: Gadgets
Wouldn’t it be great to wake up and hear your favorite songs in the background?
Many people already have a wake up playlist or just use the built-in radio many alarm clocks have.
If you don’t have an alarm clock with a built-in radio or anything similar, here’s an easy solution for everyone.
One of the best tools to set up a wake up playlist is Jakes Alarm Clock. The website looks like it’s from the 90’s and the tool doesn’t have a fancy web 2.0 like interface - but it does what it promises and it’s very easy to manage your alerts! It even runs smoothly on Windows 7 (which I currently use).
I’ve just added “David Bowie - Let’s Dance” to my wake up playlist. I love that song!
What do you add to your playlist?
Cheers!

Dual-Screen for Xp, Vista, Windows 7
Posted: Jun 02 | Filed under: Tweaks
Ever wondered how to setup a dual screen properly?
Once the best tool to do that would come with your graphic drivers (if you had a NVidia graphic card).
Nowadays there are some better tools to do it.
DisplayFusion is one of them.
The free version does not offer as much as the pro does, but it’s enough to do some really fancy stuff.
Above, you can see my setup. All you have to do is to open your display properties to detect a 2nd monitor and select “Extend these displays”, after that simply do a right-click on the litte tray icon of Display Fusion and click on “Desktop Wallpaper”.
You are almost done, pick a wallpaper (load from) and set a size mode. Apply it and your wallpaper should now stretch over 2 screens. Easy, huh?

Posted: May 30 | Filed under: News
Tomorrow is the “World No Tobacco Day” 2009.
The World Health Organization is hosting this event. They even have flyer, brochures and posters on their website: http://www.who.int/tobacco/
According to MedIndia.net there are currently more than 1.1 billion smokers in the world and the number could increase to 1.6 billion by 2025.
It might be a bit late for printing posters, but if you want to support this global event, then put one of the following wallpapers on the desktop of a smoker.
He/She will be surprised and think about quitting (again). Personally, I think you can’t convince people to quit, they have to make that decision themselves. It still might be a good idea to do that to kick-start a discussion.
Anyway, here we go:
