Not everyone likes to upgrade to a new OS every couple of years. Same thing is happening with people using Windows XP resisting the temptation of upgrading to Windows Vista. But still many of us who don’t want to upgrade to Vista would love to have few of the cool looking Aero features. One of the coolest and my favorite Vista features is the thumbnails previews of the windows that comes when you hover your mouse over the taskbar. Now with a tiny application you can get them in XP as well.

I have seen plenty of weired looking mice lately but few looked as interesting and funky as this Aircraft Mouse with flashing LED lights. Thou it just sports an 800dpi optical sensor, keeping it far from being “Tom cruise” of mouses… but will definitely turn few heads.
The Aircraft Mouse is available in black or white and features two buttons, a scroll wheel and LED lights in red and blue. Size: 149 x 109 x 30 mm. No pricing details and also it seems to be short in supply… So guys start saving your pocket money. This mouse is one of a kind.

Recently Sony laid out it plans to make the PS3 much cheaper with component removals. But today MCV reports that a new Playstation 2 model might hit US by next year for just $99. The new model as reported might sport a more “compact” design and have a “built-in power supply.”
The decision may also come as Sony’s sometime back decided to drop all backwards compatibility from the new 40GB PS3 model. But as usual Sony representatives “refused to comment” over it. But I’m sure they are regretting their decision on dropping PS2 compatibility from the PS3. Now question is would you go for a spanking new PS3 or the 7 year old veteran the PS2. Whats your take on this guys?

This trick is a unusual one and I bet many out there don’t know this. Firefox actually features the possibility to set multiple home pages. I’m a big fan of many websites so I atleast need to check 3 most favorite each time I’m online. But be aware that this new feature introduces a performance degradation in Firefox startup as multiple pages are open.
Here is how to configure multiple home pages in Firefox?
- Open Firefox
- Click Tools || Options
- In the Home Page section, located at the top of the Main tab specify your home pages URLs separated with a “|”
