Ultimate Windows Tweaker

ctitanic — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:47:33 +0000

There are many Windows “Tweakers” out there but not many are freeware or made by a MVP. And this last point is very important when you are putting the stability of your OS in the hands of this type of software. Ultimate Windows Tweaker is Free and was made by Ramesh Kumar, MVP in Windows Desktop Experience.

Ultimate Windows Tweaker is a freeware Tweak UI Utility for tweaking and optimizing Windows Vista, 32-bit & 64-bit. It can simply be downloaded and used as a portable application to customize your Windows Vista to meet your requirements. With judicious tweaking, It can make your system faster, more stable, and more secure with just a few mouse clicks. The tweaker detects whether you have IE 7 or IE 8 installed and accordingly offers you the relevant tweaks only. This Tweaker was released at the Microsoft South Asia MVP Meet 2008.

Looking for a tiny screened device?

Jack Cook — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:34:25 +0000

I use a Sony UX often and like the experience I can get when I’m on the road but have often been disappointed in the battery life and I want a screen that is just slightly larger. So I’ve been looking for a new device that gives me a reasonably powerful experience and yet one that has great battery life as well as extreme portability. I have thought about the Fujitsu Lifebook U820 because it offers a great deal of what I would like.

Truc Bui from GottaBeMobile.com got his hands on one and gives us a quick look at the Fujitsu Lifebook U820. This device is small … very small and possibly unusable for many with limited eyesight but Truc changed the dpi size and that seemed to make enough of a difference to warrant looking a little more closely at this pocketable device.

The U820 uses Intel’s Atom Z530 processor, runs Vista Business and sadly only 1GB of RAM. It is an interesting device but I’m still looking…..

Gates, Seinfeld and Ad #1

Jack Cook — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:34:28 +0000

Mary Jo Foley had a post on ZDNet.com entitled “First Microsoft make-over ad airs: $300 million well spent?”. I missed seeing the ad during the NFL Season Opener so given the opportunity to watch it via YouTube the next day was pretty good. Mary Jo said she was “not wowed by the first in what is expected to be a series of star-studded ads designed to reshape Microsoft’s consumer image” and that made me want to click on the video even faster.

Well I’m glad I did … why? Because I laughed. It was well done and my guess is that as the series of ads continues, we will see more that will make us laugh more that will designed to reshape Microsoft’s consumer image. And maybe we will finally see some well done “swipes” at Apple!

Did you know?

Jack Cook — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:31:43 +0000

If you right-click on the Windows desktop, there’s an option to change the default size of desktop icons? You are able to change the size to either choose medium, large or the default “Classic” size. But, is that enough for you? Do you want more flexibility?

If you don’t want to be limited to the three default sizes, then try this:

Left-click anywhere on your Vista desktop, hold the ‘Control’ key and move the scroll wheel on the mouse. You now can adjust the desktop icons to the size you want by changing the direction of your scroll.

Sideshow on your mobile

Offbeatmammal — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:45:05 +0000

If you’ve never seen Windows Sideshow in operation you’re in for a treat. Sideshow is a function in Windows Vista which allows small hardware gadgets to access data and control the host device.

The team have just released a runtime to enable you to turn any Windows Mobile device (touchscreen or smartphone, as long as both it and your PC supports Bluetooth) into a Sideshow device and host gadgets. You can find out more details and download it from their blog.

Examples of Sideshow in action include remote controls and external screens on laptops, Fridge magnets and messenger bags. Gadgets can be simple RSS readers, weather alerts or remote control for your Windows Media Player. You can get more detail at WindowsSideshow.com and SideShowDevices.com and find gadgets at the Windows Live Gallery.

The neat thing for developers is that the team have also just released a new SDK to allow development using Managed Code (C# rather than C++) which makes it easier to develop gadgets that can run on any Sideshow equipped devices.

I’ve been playing with it over the weekend and love being able to use my phone to control Windows Media from across the room. More practical uses include controlling a PowerPoint presentation or getting weather at a glance on both your Vista sidebar as well as a device you take everywhere with you.
