Snowbird is a fast, light weight search utility for Windows

Seems a hell of a lot slower than Everything

Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 Release Candidate available

'ready for public consumption' ...lol, you've totally missed the point of XP mode, it's not meant for the general public, it's meant for specific bespoke applications in the business world that aren't compatible with Vista/W7.

To suggest it's useful for old games is ridiculous, considering it has limited directx support at best.

We love to hate iTunes, and apparently so does AVG

How to install a browser if you don't have a browser (Windows 7 E)

MCE's OptiBay exchanges unibody MacBook optical drive for HDD

PATA is still no slower than SATA in real life situations, the current incarnation of PATA makes out at 133MB/sec, far faster than any 2.5" traditional HD, which max out around 100MB/sec. of course with SSD, PATA could be cause a bottleneck.

I wonder if it's possible to force no underline, with the bookmarklets, I'm sure it is, may try to do it tomorrow...

It's a pity Chrome doesn't support this feature yet, or support user stylesheets which would allow you to achieve it.

I too was disappointed that ImgBurn wasn't mentioned.

duh, i mean most LOSSY codecs can achieve it.

FLAC is great and all that, but isn't better than an mp3 encoded for transparency in terms of sound quality.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
