Use Elevator To Disable Vista UAC On Selected Programs
Over the last year or so I’ve come to accept Vista’s UAC (User Account Control) as a necessary evil which provides important security. However I have certain programs I use all the time where I don’t want to have to click ‘Allow’ on the UAC prompt every-time I run them.
I’ve searched a few times in [...]

How Much Electricity Does Folding@Home Consume?
I’ve been wondering this week just how much electricity my PS3 consumes when it is running Folding@Home. It gets so hot, I’ve assumed it must be using up a lot of juice. I decided not to stress myself out about as it’s all for a good cause.
However, IGN have actually worked it out [...]
Tray Devil: Great Freeware System Tray Minimiser
There are some great new sites emerging every month. Ryan from CyberNet introduced Wikio to me this morning, which at first glance looks like another Digg clone, but has some cool features that I need to look at in more detail.
Another great site I’ve subscribed to recently is OneTipADay.com. My daily RSS reads have recently [...]
PicBlock: Block Porn Pictures From Displaying Automatically
I’ve never been a big fan of the way that most security services, particularly web filtering software operate. I hate the way they don’t really employ any intelligence about the content that is being viewed, and they either block a complete site or don’t, with no middle ground.
