http://www.legitreviews.com

Last week, we got a chance to look at the XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics card and found that it was a very powerful card for gaming.

The gag order has finally lifted, so we can share with you our thoughts on Quad-SLI with a pair of XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics cards!

Watch all South Park Episodes legally online

http://www.ghacks.net

What’s the best way to fight illegal downloads and streams of your tv shows ? It could be to offer them for free on an official website. That’s probably the same line of thoughts that the creators of South Park had when they created a website called South Park Studios together with Comedy Central.

Sort and Rename Pictures by Exif Data

http://www.ghacks.net

My Casio Exilim digital camera is naming every picture CIMGxxxx.jpg with xxxx being a number between 1 and 9999. This naming convention makes it quite hard to find out any details about the picture unless you click on it or activate thumbnail view in the folder. It does make sense in my opinion to rename the images so that they can be recognized at first glance.

Apple bundles Safari with iTunes Update

http://www.ghacks.net

I just read the story over at Cybernet News and thought it was worth commenting about. Apple apparently found a way to shove the Safari browser down the throats of Windows users by bundling it with iTunes update. They report a new version of Safari when a user searches in iTunes for updates. This happens even if Safari has never been installed on the system before.

Is Eeyore Designing Your Software?

http://www.codinghorror.com

This classic Eric Lippert post describes, in excruciating, painful detail, exactly how much work it takes to add a single ChangeLightBulbWindowHandleEx function to a codebase at Microsoft:

  • One dev to spend five minutes implementing ChangeLightBulbWindowHandleEx.
  • One program manager to write the specification.
  • One localization expert to review the specification for localizability issues.
  • One usability expert to review the specification for accessibility and usability issues.

If you happen to press shift while right-clicking you will also notice that a new option has been added to the menu which is called Copy to Path.
