Windows XP only: Free system utility Phlox has a single, small purpose, but it's one that's caused certain people to hunt down free ways to get Vista's features into XP. That feature is a smarter renaming scheme, one that doesn't make you re-type the file's extension just to change its name. Hit the F2 key on a file, and it does its advertised job. As the FreewareGenius blog points out, however, it uses about 5MB ...

Andrew Fogg saw a preview of the integration at Google's offices and found that Gmail and Google Calendar will add offline support in approximately 6 weeks.In the past months, Google accidentally enabled the option in Google Calendar and some users saw the dialog illustrated below: "To view and edit ...

Doogie said:
veeeery interesting. Must make sure I check back in 2 years to see how close to the mark this was :-). VDI is nice and all but what I really want right now is item number 4. Apps are just too much of a pain. There are plenty of apps that we have to use that I can forsee will NEVER bother updating to become compatible with app virtulisation or streaming. The well behaved apps I have no need to virtualise yet package seamlessly in most cases, but the difficult apps are also the ones that just don't work when packaged for streaming.

Of course, you don't want to start deleting images until you're absolutely certain they're identical. And that's where DupliFinder ...

Google is the default search engine in Firefox, Opera, Safari and it becomes the default search engine if you install any Google software and stick with the default options. Google ...
