ArsTechnica has the scoop on a new feature Microsoft recently added into builds of Windows Vista. The new feature, called Previous Versions, is enabled for users with the System Protection setting enabled. Previous Versions is similar to System Restore points but on a per file and per folder scale. It shadows copies of files whenever they’re edited, allowing the user to revert to several previous versions [click to continue…]

Hack A Day featured a reader that was intuitive enough to think that the green LED that’s on when you’re not using your mouse is just wasting power. Yeah the power LED is a bit of a usability-inspired indicator to see if your mouse works, but who needs that little gem when you can reclaim up to 4% of your juice?

The last computer peripheral I need to replaced before having a complete Apple setup was my mouse. For many years, I have been extremely fond of Logitech mice.

After lingering in a non-existent then beta phase for what seemed like an eternity, Flip4Mac has been released as a Universal Binary. As most people know, Microsoft has never been fond of supporting Mac users, so when Intel processors were introduced to the Mac, Microsoft could care less about getting its outdated Windows Media Player software running. Microsoft then stopped producing WMP for the Mac and made a deal with Flip4Mac to offer their windows media [click to continue…]

At a press release (which I was invited to, but couldn’t attend) at Santa Clara Intel HQ this morning, Intel CEO Paul Otellini outlined the new processors. The Conroe-based E6700, E6600, E6400 and E6300 Core 2 Duo processors rounded-off the desktop line while a Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 made its debut. In addition, Intel launched their Merom-based [click to continue…]

If you’re looking to expose some detail on any of your photos and have Photoshop, check out these easy tips. I’ve been using the first one, unmask sharpen, for a long time, but more recently with some stuff at work and it makes a huge difference. It seems to add fine detail to images and lessen the appearance of blurryness. Open up an image in Photoshop and navigate to Filter » Sharpen » Unsharp Mask. In the window that pops up, set the amount to 100%, radius to 0.5 pixels and keep the threshold at 0 levels. [click to continue…]
