Windows only: The free Emerge Alternative Desktop Shell replaces Windows' taskbar, Start menu, and right-click context menu with a super-minimalistic version. In short, Emerge leaves you with essentially an empty desktop, a clean slate for some killer customizations. For example, yesterday you saw how reader MERSC uses Emerge to clear space for a souped-up Object Dock taskbar. Emerge also clears away icons and menus Launchy users don't need. When you first install Emerge, you may ...

Windows only: There aren't many computer games that support dual monitors; the vast majority simply fail to acknowledge there might be two, three, or more monitors attached to a computer. In the best case scenario the cursor can leave the primary screen and you simply have to scoot it back into the main screen. In the worst case scenario games will crash or exit play suddenly when the cursor ends up outside the window of ...

The best thing about runway models wearing massive and bulbous headwear is that it detracts from their chunky thighs. Seriously, would it kill these girls to substitute one watercress salad with a pack of Marlboro lights once in a while? We're therefore thankful that fashion designer Giles Deacon has tapped into Pac-Man design lore for his/their Spring-Summer 2009 collection. The line, which was on display at London Fashion Week, might not be outed for its ...

Braid, according to the rapper is "for people who smoke or people drink like if you drink beer and you get drunk or you smoke weed and you get high and you just... anything, like you just get be ...

Is this the retail packaging for Mega Man 9? Of course not, Mega Man 9 is a downloadable game, but that didn't stop the folks from Capcom from creating this spectacular packaging to send out to their friends in the press, making me wonder just how close a friend you have to be to score one. I've done plenty of things I'm not proud of in the past. Anyway, it's a throwback to the NES ...

Filed under: Gaming We have to admit, the sight of any arcade cabinet will brighten our day a little bit, but this so-called C-MACC's (Complete - Multi Arcade Console Computer System) cabinet built by Over-Clock UK forum member Mayhem is a considerable cut above the rest, with it not only able to play every emulated game out there, but seemingly every non-emulated game as well. That, as you might have guessed, was done by cramming ...

The Phoenix Lander pointed her eyes towards the Martian skies and took some stills of the ice clouds she found there, which researchers have tuned into this brief animation. The Mars mission is so far outside my understanding that it sometimes seems unreal. Images like this lessen that effect. [Via i09]

The set up consists of Yellow Dog Linux, an NTSC television, and an external USB sound card to provide the inputs of the spectrum analyzer and the outputs of the function generator. The sound card driver is written to simply capture or ...

Anime is a form of Japanese animation that is primarily directed to an older audience. It has a large fan following and some of the shows actually have a pretty well developed storyline. The only downside is that anime is available only a few select television channels. For anime fans who cannot get a fix of their favorite show on TV, the internet offers hope. Just like TV shows, most anime is also uploaded to ...
