A couple of weeks ago, Microsoft launched Silverlight. It had to be the opponent of Adobe Flash. I have to admit, I was really curious what this Silverlight could do, if you can really think you can just "bump off" Flash from their number 1 position on the net.

I tried Tafiti (Also from Microsoft) to test this new Silverlight. It's a Silverlight driven search engine. As expected, it really looks beautiful. But is it really that useful? I don't think so.

Also like to use the mailingservice from Google, Gmail? You're not alone, with the massive amount of space you'll get with your Gmail account, many users worldwide are using this service. Here's a nifty little trick that'll allow you to create a bookmark that'll automatic will log you in to Gmail. No entering of your username / password is required every time you log on. Tested on Internet Explorer and Firefox, but will probably work on other browsers too.

Image the most beautiful day in the summer. When the sun sets, you're drinking on the terrace and enjoying the view. Suddenly you feel something itchy on your arm; you just got stung by a mosquito (Anopheles gambiae). Say goodbye to your beautiful summer evening and hello to an annoying scratching bumb.

OneCoreSoft has the perfect solution for this; Mosquito Defence. Install the program on your pocket PC and those mosquitos will not bother you anymore.

Many sites on the net now add a Favicon to their website. It's a small image next to the browsers address bar that indicates your website. It's especially useful when your site gets bookmarked, because the favicon will show in the bookmarklist of your guest.

If you ever wondered how to add such an icon to your website, read about it here.

It's easy and the changes are made within a few minutes. After that, you'll save lots of time browsing on The Internet.

One of the worlds leading blogging community BlogCatalog has started a Blogging for a Great Cause Challenge. It's very simple, every blogger that wants to participate will post on September 27 2007 a post on their blog about any kind of abuse. In the meantime you can spread the word of this great community challenge to other bloggers and put these badges on your blog.

In these days, almost everyone has an iPod, a Creative Zen Vision: M or any other type of MP3 Player. It almost let's your forget the early days when people were walking around with a Portable CD Player. I accented the word almost, because designer Yong-Seong Kim didn't forget his CD's and designed this nice DMP (Dual Music Player).

Me, as an music addict and a person who loves eye candy and well designed high tech stuff, loves to see things like this. Don't dare to say that you wouldn't one of these;

If you don't have enough space on your PC anymore and you don't want to spend money (yet) on a new harddrive, try cleaning up your Windows directory. Windows has a lot of junk that you would probably never use, so why not delete it.

Warning: Be careful what you do.

The folders where you'll be cleaning up are indeed part of Windows. These tips will only show which files and folders you can delete without touching the core files of Windows. Deleting any files is at your own risk.

This has been tested on Windows XP Pro Final and SP1 (Not home, but it should work fine) Windows 2003 Enterprise Server 3700, RTM, and The Free Evaluation version (Any 2k3 version should work fine), and Windows 2000 Pro. If the following folders are not on your 2k/2k3 system it means they are only in XP and you don’t need to worry about them.

Ever downloaded a nice movie from the internet (Bad you), or didn't correctly synchronize your audio and video when creating your own family video's? Personally, I think there is nothing more annoying than a video where the audio is behind, even if it is for one second. So here's a small how to, to get your sync back so that you'll fully enjoy the movie. Get your bag of popcorn ready!

Saving or printing a list with the content of a folder in Windows can be tricky, but it's not impossible. You can do it the "old and fasion" way by typing every filename in a seperate document, but that'll take lots of time. Faster is it, when you select a file, press "F2" (Rename), than "Ctrl+C" (Copy) and "Ctrl+V" (Paste) it in another document. Although this method is faster than the first one, it takes a whole lot of time which you can spend better.

Of course you can buy small programs that'll do this trick for you, but why spend money on something you can do on your own for free? Here's a nice little "how to" on creating folder content lists like these:

File and folder names only
