    Not your everyday search engine

    What do you get if you cross the subservient chicken with a search engine? Answer: http://msdewey.com/ Not sure it's really practical as a search engine, but some of the responses are a hoot.

    Internet Explorer 7 - Final

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx Maybe I should be using Opera of Firefox, but so far, this has been less trouble than I expected, no significant site breakages, no smoke from my system. IE gets TABs, IE loses history button - just about sums it up!

    Nero 7.5.0.2 ??

    What appears to be a CD-rip of an as yet unreleased version Of Nero appears to be doing the rounds on P2P. Several other forums have mentioned it, with much confusion. Is it genuine ? Is it a hack ? Is it a beta, or a review copy that got leaked (boy! will the reviewer be deep in the brown...

    Desktop Puppy

    http://www.andrexpuppy.co.uk/playfulpuppy/puppydownload.htm Don't know what tricks it does, as I tend not to download such useless "fluff". For those who don't know, The Andrex puppy is the mascot for a particular brand of bog-roll. http://www.andrexpuppy.co.uk/home.htm - some more stuff...

    An amusing toy

    http://lecielestbleu.com/html/pateason.html Any vaguely musical results, I wonder? A brief guide: There are two machines which produce note pellets, with selectable scales, what the horizontal slider on the right hand one does, I have no idea. The pressbutton on the right hand machine...

    Masses of music - free

    It all started at http://www.di.fm/ - when after kicking around some 96k MP3 (OK) and 32k WMA (pretty ropey) examples, I decided, without expecting much, to try the 24k AAC+. Threw them at every program I had, then looked for something else... since I've never liked Winamp, not since the...

    Freedb to close?

    http://www.freedb.org/ This has some other implications not yet addressed, as freedb is the CDDB used by Nero, so Ahead either have to see it carry on somehow, switch to the Gracenote CDDB (not directly compatible and has commercial licence fees), or be perhaps the only major CD/DVD software...

    Is this the most infuriating game?

    http://www.miniclip.com/rolypoly.php I got as far as "Don't look back" - level 21 or 22, I think it was.

    Too much chocolate?

    IT glitch results in Cadbury chocolate glut There are worse headlines you could give it, like "Bug in Cadbury chocolate" :eek:

    A site to look at, before it goes

    http://www.davidpye.com/index.php Hosting is not being renewed, apparently it's set to go down on the 6th. A right old mix... Freeware section is worth a rummage... A fair collection of autostereograms (magic eye / cross eyed pictures) some are easier to see than others ... coin toss is very...

    Great video!

    Chevrolet had a site where you could "make your own advert" for the Tahoe, using video clips, sound tracks and text overlays, well, some people did! http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6056633.html?tag=cnetfd.sd Nice to know the 4x4 isn't just reviled in London as the "Chelsea tractor".

    Poundland (UK)

    Sampling media at 4 for £1 is probably a bad idea, but I did anyway (must get round to making a test burn). If nothing else, I needed a spare 10-tub or 2 The text is a bit too JPEG-mashed, so: 1. Current media there, 8x DVD-R The media code identifies as TYG02 - though the chance that this...

    Exact Audio copy (0.95beta4)

    http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/eac-0.95b4.exe Check the "what's new", while there may be some improvements, there is also a pre-emptive removal of the "Retrieve native TOC" function. This function is somewhat watered down from the "manually retrieve TOC" capability that was removed after...

    Google Bomber?

    Saw the pic in the paper today, and then found this report of how a WW2 Lancaster managed to sneak into a Google Earth satellite photo. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/09/google_lancaster/
