Microsoft slashes console prices in Asia

April 30th, 2008

After the slash in console prices in many countries of Europe, Microsoft has finally cut prices in four countries of Asia. This looks like Microsoft is really trying to outdo (and has been trying) Wii and the PS3 in terms of sales. Also, another factor that occurred to me was the release of GTA IV. Mostly the combination of the release of GTA IV and price cut may increase its sales ( I didn’t say it will).

How to disable Windows Defender from starting when Vista boots

April 27th, 2008

It’s simply weired that in Windows Vista won’t let you uninstall Windows Defender which is kinda ultimate useless application of all time. :D Strangely it does allow uninstalling in Windows XP.

Now that Windows Vista installs Windows Defender by default, many people are looking for ways to disable, uninstall or remove it from system so that they could install any other anti-spyware programs. Besides using some precious cpu and memory resources Windows Defender as I already told you is a lameware, also because if you use something like Kaspersky Internet Security its almost impossible for spywares to get inside.

Protect Windows From USB Autorun.inf Virus With USB Firewall

April 26th, 2008

Recently i came across some crappy virus that infects all executable files in my flash drive, then creates a hidden autorun.inf file at the root of the pendrive. Each time I hook the USB drive to my friends PC thus getting infected.

Its fairly easy to stop Windows from executing instructions found in autorun.inf using registry tricks. But seriously many people do love the autorun feature.

Well we can still let Windows continue processing autorun.inf file for CD or DVD and also protect the computer from USB flash drive autorun.inf using a USB firewall. Here is a USB firewall software that blocks unwanted stuffs from your USB drive.

Space Invaders Cutting Board Invades Your Kitchen

April 26th, 2008

While a modern day kitchen houses lots of high tech gadgetry to help you with the slicing and dicing, this Space Invaders themed cutting board lets you make your kitchen kinda retro.

Space Invaders Cutting Board Invades Your Kitchen

This wooden cutting board is a cool creation by 1337motif using square blocks of walnut and hard-maple, put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue (Titebond III), and treated with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax.

This board measures about 17.5 X 12 X 1.25″ and is available from the artist’s Etsy shop for $125. Kinda pricey I’ll stick to my old cutting board. Also his new Zelda Tri-Force cutting board is as stunning as Space Invaders. :D
