Sarah Palin, Also So Sarah Palin didn’t do so very badly in the debate last night. Oh sure, she didn’t answer a lot of questions and clearly wasn’t conversant in a number of topics as Joe Biden, but she didn’t come off as that laughingstock that she did in the Couric interviews. The polls seem to suggest pretty clearly that Biden won the night. Part of the reason that people can tell from little clues ...

The iPhone has a number of problems, but the inability to background applications is one that just got fixed. There's a new app on Cydia for backgrounding an arbitrary application, called surprisingly enough, Backgrounder. It adds a couple behaviours to your home button for backgrounding, as well as supporting the ability configure apps to always background. Obviously have to have a jailbroken phone to do it, but with QuickPwn it's a breeze. Now you can ...

I watched the vice presidential debate in a ballroom at the Four Seasons hotel in Aviara, just north of San Diego, along with a couple of hundred women attending Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit -- a receptive audience, you would think, for a debate featuring a woman who might become the most powerful in the land. It was an ideologically mixed crowd, including representatives of ExxonMobil, a major sponsor of the conference. If the reaction ...

Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Freeware The Windows Task Manager gives you a good idea of which programs are running and how much RAM they're using. And if you need to kill a runaway process, few things work better than calling up the Task manager and clicking the End Process button. But if you want a more thorough look at what each process is doing, you're probably better off using a separate tool like Process Explorer.Or ...

Funny how it is popular to clone the look and feel of applications but rare (and difficult) to clone the underlying functionality. The ribbon is OK, but is it really somehow more efficient than menus? Wouldn't it be cooler to bind every single action to an accelerator and develop a cool system that helped you learn them so your notepad efficiency would skyrocket? One can dream...
