You always want your brand new PC to be clean and junk proof but over some time you'll find it full of crap software installed for no reason other than that the PC maker gets paid to put it there. These extra (waste) software slow down your PC startup and its day to day operation.

The free PC Decrapifier removes dozens of these softwares automatically. Using this program is very simple. Just run it, and it does its cleaning work automatically. Don't expect it to completely clean your PC, because it removes only a specific set of softwares and trialware programs namely, those that are specifically put on new PCs, such as QuickBooks Trial, Wild Tangent Games, Dell URL Assistant, and many more. For a complete list of softwares it removes, go to here.

Note: When using this program, it's good to first create a restore point. Just in case it removes something that you wanted to keep.

Vista Tweaking Tools

Looking for tools to get the most out of Windows Vista?
Here are a few utilities to tweak up Windows Vista.

1. VistaTweaker - VistaTweaker is, as its name says, a reliable, smart and yet easy-to-use Windows Vista tweaking tool. The interface is nice and simple.
· Every tweak has its description so the user can see what each one does.
· Tweaks are organized into tabs, each tab is subdivided in sections by group boxes. This way it is easy to find the tweak the user is looking for.

2. XdN Tweaker - Tweaking program that supports Vista (and XP/Server 203). It doesn't have tons of tweaking options, but does focus on ones that most users may want to attend to. No installation required (but .NET is for XP/2003). Address areas with Vista UAC, Control Panel, Media Player, Right-Click context options, Files and Folder tweaks, File Associations, Start Menu, IE7, Outlook Express/Windows Mail, Misc. Tools, and System Settings. Pretty handy little utility.

3. Windows Sidebar Styler - Allows some easy fine-tuning of the Windows Sidebar and provides extensions to the Windows Sidebar in Vista. Supports custom styles for resizing and customizing how it integrates with other elements. Still being refined but looks pretty handy.

4. EasyBCD 1.6 - Hard-core NeoSmart tool that is definitely NOT for "average" Vista users. Allows advanced Vista users/tweakers to set up, configure, and tweak the Windows Vista bootloader.

5. TweakUAC - this utility allows folks running under an Administrator-level profile to easily turn off UAC (User Account Control), turn it back on, or keep it running, but suppress the UAC elevation prompt requests.

6. Tweak VI from Totalidea - The basic version is free and additional feature "plugins" can be purchased. It's a nice business model. The Basic version allows you to tweak desktop items, Start menu items, IE, Firefox, hardware settings, system info, virtual desktops, subsystem folders, mousing, and shutdown options.

7. Vispa - This tweak-tool uses a non-install executable and is a bare-bones Vista utility. Run it and you get a long list of check boxes organized by subjects. To apply a setting, activate the checkbox. Pro: simple interface. Con: simple interface. So unless you already know and understand the consequence of your choice, this might not be a utility for Vista noobies.

Cyber Goggles : A Revolutionary Memory Booster

With the growing number of assignments to be done within a given time period, our memory tend to forget things done minutes back. I feel sorry about complaining this as it is natural. Okeay, can you recall what did you have yesterday in your afternoon meal? Or what is the second name of the person you met today morning for a business deal. These things, which seem small, can make a big difference to life.

Many thanks to the researchers’ team at the University of Tokyo for discovering an innovative video goggle called ‘Cyber Goggles’ that captures everything you do all through the day. More than that it taps the images of everything you do, everyone you meet.

It behaves smarty by recognizing and then recording every object by assigning names to every appearing in the video, thereby producing an accessible database of the captured footage. The goggles come equipped with a squashed camera that feeds video to a computer hung at the users’ back. The computer enables you to analyze, name and file the items that emerge in the video via its ultrahigh-speed image recognition processing software.

It is being claimed that cyber goggles can be used for multiple purposes. It might prove resourceful in the advancement of robots with humanly features.
