Apr. 29th, 2009 By Tim Watson My oldest son likes games and Web surfing, but we don’t want to give him full access to our PC, or to the entire Internet. We’ve experimented with various ways to block him off, with varying success. It wasn’t long ago that I found just the program for which I was looking, a customizable application launcher that serves as an alternate Windows shell. That program is KidsMenu . I should back up for a moment and explain what the “shell” is. The shell is what allows a user to interact with the operating system. For most of us, the default Windows shell is Explorer, which includes the Start Menu, desktop icons, System Tray, etc. If you’ve tinkered with your own PC enough, then you know that kids can find quick and easy ways to (unintentionally) mess up your system. If you’ve ever let your young ones frolic in the big, bad, World Wide Web, then you know what kind of trouble can appear on screen very quickly. KidsMenu is one program that can help prevent such th

It's been a few moments since Phase One had us lusting after one of its devices, and now the company is back with a 40 megapixel system named, appropriately enough, the P40+. Like the P65+ we peeped last year, this new guy offers two separate image-capture modes -- in this case, you're looking at either a standard mode for full 40 megapixel shooting, or a 10 megapixel Sensor+ mode that gives you a four-fold increase in light sensitivity (ISO to 3200), and a 1.8 fps capture rate. Both modes feature a 12.5 f-stop dynamic range. The camera is shipping now, and it will run you a cool €16,990 ($22,073). Or pick up just the camera back for €14,990 ($19,475). Actually, you might want to think about picking up two. You know, just in case. One more image after the break. Continue reading PhaseOne P40+ medium format camera hits the streets of Copenhagen

As this picture proves, there are no problems, only solutions. What appears to be an entire family of eight have all piled cheerfully on to one motorcycle. And baby too: The family whizzes by the vehicle clinging tightly to the motorbike

Apr. 26th, 2009 By Simon Slangen There are many great pieces of karaoke software out there, but without any doubt, Sony’s SingStar is the most popular one amongst the general public. If you can get past the innitial embarassment, there’s really nothing greater than screaming your lungs out after a party, be it with friends or family. One of the main reasons are the nonchalant air the game manages to put down, and how it remains extremely user-friendly and easy to operate for everyone. However, Singstar costs a reasonable deal of money. The system, the game and the branded microphones, all taking a notable bite out of your precious reserves. Especially in these times of recession, one would like to have fun without need to take out his wallet. Ultrastar Deluxe - Win/Mac/Linux

Menggunakan listrik dari tenaga surya di rumah? Wah menarik juga, tapi bukankah itu solusi yang mahal? Kan, PLN sudah menyediakan listrik yang lumayan murah. Lalu apa untungnya buat saya kalau menggunakan listrik ?buatan sendiri'? Semua tergantung dari kebutuhan yakni digunakan untuk apa PLTS ( pembangkit listrik tenaga surya ) yang kita pasang. Jika untuk mengcover seluruh peralatan rumah tangga pada umumnya saat ini, memang masih dapat dibilang kurang terjangkau dan sesuai. Saat ini untuk menggunakan PLTS, perlu dibuatkan skala prioritas terlebih dulu. Dan berikut beberapa pertanyaan mendasarnya. Dimanakah saya tinggal ? Jika tidak ada atau akses PLNnya kurang baik (listrik PLN sering mati), PLTS bisa menjadi salah satu solusi sebagai sumber energi. Nah, bagaimana jika akses PLNnya sudah baik? Tentunya, untuk biaya jangka pendek, penggunaan PLN masih lebih murah sehingga jika kalkulasi biaya sebagai tujuan untuk mendapatkan yang lebih "murah", nampaknya PLTS masih b

In a desperate attempt to get his haul to market, a coconut seller piled hundreds upon hundreds on the back of a three-wheeled tuk-tuk. But the precarious load looked in danger of falling off as the overloaded motorised rickshaw made its very slow journey.

By Alan Duke, CNN LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Someone stole an "incomplete and early version" of the next installment in the blockbuster "X-Men" movie series and posted it on the Internet this week, according to the studio that owns the billion-dollar film franchise. Hugh Jackman stars in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." An early version of the film was leaked to the Web. Twentieth Century Fox said the FBI was investigating who leaked "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which is set for release in U.S. theaters May 1. The digital file quickly spread across the Internet and was available for free, but illegal, downloading from hundreds of easily found Web sites. "The source of the initial leak and any subsequent postings will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law; the courts have handed down significant criminal sentences for such acts in the past," the studio's statement said.

By Linda Martin-Peoples There may be times when you might want to use an anonymous free prfoxy server so you can safely surf the net without your information being available to hackers, spammers and scammers…. or anyone else, for that matter! Web proxies are used for hiding your IP address and by-passing work, school or other web filters. For instance, if Facebook or Myspace is blocked on the computer you are using, you can easily gain access by using a web proxy. HideMyAss - Free and speedy proxy service. Use it to hide your IP address and get through network filters. HideMyAss is part of a Privax proxy network , so if it’s blocked, there are several others you give a try. There is nothing to configure, just type-in the address of the website you want to visit and press ‘Go’.

            Makanan dan minuman yang dapat memicu diabetes. Dalam hidup ini berlaku hukum "tabungan". Apa yang kita lakukan menjadi tabungan di masa mendatang. Apa yang kita tabung sedikit demi sedikit akan terasa hasilnya bertahun-tahun kemudian. Begitu pun dengan penyakit. Mulai dari segelas minuman favorit hingga suka menonton TV hingga larut. Siapa nyana kalau itu bisa meningkatkan risiko diabetes? Sebuah penelitian di Amerika yang melibatkan 4.572 relawan pria dan wanita menemukan bahwa risiko perokok aktif terhadap diabetes naik sebesar 22 persen. Disebutkan pula bahwa naiknya risiko tidak cuma disebabkan oleh rokok, tetapi kombinasi berbagai gaya hidup tidak sehat, seperti pola makan dan olahraga.

Segelas teh manis kira-kira mengandung 250-300 kalori (tergantung kepekatan). Kebut

Apparently some shady hackers and cyber-criminals have recently started offering upwards of $30,000 for the Nokia 1100 which were manufactured at a specific plant in Bochum, Germany. You may ask yourself, "why?" Well, beyond the obvious answer (style), certain makes of the super-popular handset can apparently be reprogrammed to use someone else's phone number, allowing them to receive text messaged bank passwords (common in parts of Europe), thus making it much, much easier to steal people's money. The software flaw has been pointed out by Ultrascan Advance Global Investigations, who were contacted by police who had noted the curiously high offering prices on the old-timey candybar. Nokia has contended that it has not identified any software problems which would allow such use, so it's hard to say what exactly is going on at this point, but we'll let you know if we hear anything concrete.

by Donald Melanson Still haven't found a USB drive small enough for your needs? Then you might want to consider EagleTec's new Nano flash drive now available from the ever dependable folks at Brando, which measures an impossibly tiny 19 x 15 x 6 mm and weighs in at a mere three grams. Despite that size, however, you'll still get a fairly generous 4GB or 8GB of storage ($22 and $33, respectively), and an included lanyard that'll let you attach it to something you're less likely to misplace, though you're on your own keeping the drive's cap from wandering off.

Recycling has only become fashionable in the past few decades but it seems that Disney has been doing it since the dark ages. Researchers have revealed that scenes from much-loved cartoons such as Robin Hood and Winnie The Pooh were copied from the studio's earlier hits. Disney has 'recycled' some of its backgrounds and animation sequences over and over again. Look familiar? Mowgli throws a stone in The Jungle Book (1967) and Christopher Robin in an identical scene in Winnie The Pooh ten years late r

by Kara Kovalchik - April 20, 2009 - 1:21 PM Happy Administrative Professionals Week! This annual salute to office staff was first observed 57 years ago, though it was called Secretaries’ Day at the time. (Personal anecdote: years ago I worked in a small office where I had no clerical responsibilities; I purchased steel, I sold steel, I inspected steel as it was processed. But my boss gave me a Secretaries’ Day card every year because (I’m not making this up) I was a “girl.” Gender stereotypes aside, please enjoy a few office-related facts as you rightfully waste a few minutes surfing mental_floss on company time. It’s your day, after all! The Original Cube Farm What item leads the field in office furniture sales? None other than the dreaded cubicle, to the tune of approximately $3 billion per year.

Apr. 20th, 2009 By Saikat Basu I remember the first time I set my eyes on Microsoft Office2007. It was love at first sight because everything seemed so stylish. At second sight, I found myself a bit lost among the buttons of the new Ribbon menu. I knew there was a bit of a learning curve ahead of me. Though I mastered it in a short while, I must confess that it did take some getting used to. That was me…but then there were some (and still are) who found the learning curve a bit steeper. Accustomed to the older pre-2007 classical interface, they thrashed about with the new one. Baffling for most, I guess. Necessity is the mother of invention and so someone thought up UBitMenu (and thankfully made it free!) UBitMenu is a small add-in for Microsoft Office 2007 ( Excel, Word, and PowerPoint ) and it brings back Office2007 back into your grasp by giving the menu - the Office2003 makeover. It gets added on as an additional menu tab in the three Office 2007 applications. While you will ge

by Darren Murph , posted Apr 20th 2009 at 5:09PM You know that 3D bandwagon you're still hesitant to jump on? We get the feeling that this year's NAB show may just push you over the top. Shortly after hearing of Fujifilm's newest P2 memory cards comes this, a conceptual camcorder in which to eventually slot 'em in. Currently, Panasonic's 3D Full HD Camera Recorder is merely a prototype, but it's made clear that the company intends to bring this to market as soon as possible. Essentially, the device will boast a twin-lens system for capturing 3D footage natively in 1080p, and all of the video streams will be stored on Panny's professional P2 cards. It's hard to say if this would even be useful for 2D shooting on the side, but with practically every major studio at least considering (if not committing to ) 3D production, we'd say it's a solid investment on Panasonic's part either way.

By Daily Mail Reporter The father of a child actress in the film Slumdog Millionaire is offering to sell her for £200,000, it was claimed yesterday. Rafiq Qureshi, who lives in poverty in Mumbai, reportedly attempted to trade nine-year-old Rubina Ali in an illegal adoption deal. Rubina played the young heroine Letika in the movie, which has grossed £185million worldwide and swept the board at the Oscars. Squalor: Rubina in the slums where her home is a hut It had been hoped that the film's success would transform her life. But her father and an uncle were said to have claimed that they are being forced to put her up for sale because the family has not received enough of the proceeds.

He has even impersonated a dragon-slaying prince in a fairytale-themed shoot for one of his many advertising campaigns. Now David Beckham had added an equally bizarre look to his repertoire. The former England football captain has stripped down for a futuristic photoshoot that appears to owe its inspiration to the Terminator films. Man or machine? David Beckham in an advert for the new Motorola AURA, which will cost £1,400 In a rapid departure from his usual, more wholesome look, the star is pictured frowning at the camera with part of his face torn away. Images of his skeleton have been superimposed upon his naked chest while one of his eyes has been replaced by a red laser.

Oleh M Fajar Marta Safitri, ibu rumah tangga yang tinggal di kawasan Depok, Jawa Barat, tidak habis pikir. Nilai tabungannya yang sekitar Rp 4 juta sudah dua bulan ini terus merosot saldonya. Padahal, ia menabungkan uangnya di bank semata-mata untuk mendapatkan bunga sehingga uangnya beranak-pinak. Kalau begini caranya, mending uangnya saya simpan di celengan atau di bawah bantal,” kata ibu tiga anak ini menggerutu. Kisah Safitri ini juga menjadi persoalan banyak orang yang punya tabungan bernilai kecil, katakanlah di bawah Rp 5 juta. Banyak orang awam sulit memahami mengapa nilai tabungan mereka terus tergerus. Yang mereka tahu, jika menabung, uang akan bertambah karena berbunga. Pemahaman ini terpatri sejak masa sekolah dasar saat diajarkan untuk menabung. Saat ini, jangan pernah berharap duit membukit jika hanya punya tabungan tak lebih dari Rp 5 juta.

Ever wonder what it’d be like if Superheroes were just regular people like you and I?  Like what if Superman had a job as a limo driver and he didn’t necessarily have any superhuman powers?  He was just a dude wearing a Superman cape driving a limousine. When you add the element of costume and real life it winds up being pretty hilarious.  So in other words, I found some cool pictures of people in superhero costumes doing normal “human” things. Ugh, when you put it that way it seems kind of dull, but it’s pretty damned funny. Enjoy Thanks to Dulce Pinzon for creating these.

After months of searching and researching, we've found the Facebook profiles of Elvis Presley, Steve Jobs, Satan, and more. Okay, we made them up. Facebook just seemed incomplete without them. Craig Anton, Ron Babcock, and Mark Sullivan, with page design by Marcia Neumeier Apr 1, 2009 12:00 pm It's getting to the point where everybody--everybody--has a Facebook page. Well, not everybody. In fact some very important people--personages who undoubtedly would have very interesting pages--are nowhere to be found on Facebook. Some of them are just too dead to get the job done--though you don't have to be a human being to have a Facebook page . As a result, by today's standards, the record on these people is incomplete (no Twitter trail? no Facebook bio?). Nor do we know how they would've behaved on Facebook: Would John have defriended Ringo after the Beatles broke up? Would Joan of Arc have continued updating her status right up until the fateful moment of incineration (
