An Informal Chat with Second Life Creator Philip Rosedale
The first Forbes MEET Conference was a blast. The panels were great and the people attending were even better.

Where are the Editors?
Fellow blogger John Allsopp (dog or higher) writes about the future of blog reading, and how we’ll go from reading blogs to reading single posts. In my personal experience, that’s exactly how it goes. Although I subscribe to several blogs, I find myself not checking them very often, instead relying on Google, Digg or Del.icio.us…
5 Reasons I Hate iTunes
Just bought an 80GB Video iPod! Awesome gadget and a nice way to get into the whole podcast/vidcast mindset. Unfortunately, I have to deal with Apple’s iTunes software to manage it. I’m currently on an IBM T42p laptop (waiting for Apple to wake up and upgrade the MacBook Pros to Core 2 Duo), so this…

Running the Vista…

allSnap is a small system tray app that makes all top level windows automatically align like they do in programs such as Winamp or Photoshop. When moving a window, it will automatically snap to screen edges or other windows’ borders.
Activating Session Restore in Firefox 2 Beta 1
Firefox 2 Beta 1 includes a new feature that restores your browsing session when the browser crashes. So, if you were looking at twenty different tabs when your browser froze or bit the dust, your tabs won’t go to wherever it is that electronic dust-bunnies end up. Fire up your trusty browser and up will…
