I am a great fan of all Microsoft services and products and not only this but I also like collecting free third-party goodies like wallpapers and skins to spice up my Windows. There are tons of free Windows goodies available on the Internet but it is hard to select as which is the best one. Recently I came across two amazing free Windows goodies discovered by two of my fellow bloggers that I would like to share with my readers on behalf of them.
Windows Live Winamp
This is the most amazing free Winamp skin discovered by my fellow blogger Shankar Ganesh. This is the best choice for a devoted and dedicated Windows Live fan. The skin is closely related to Windows Vista and Windows Live Site in terms of look and feel. This will definitely make your Winamp a lot more spicy.

Technorati is the biggest social network of all the blogs over the Internet. It enlists literally all the blogs that have ever surfaced over the Internet and gives you details about the blog in terms of authority, backlinks and favorites. Your blog is ranked according to its authority and favorites. Technorati Authority is basically a measure of the different backlinks your blog receives over the blogosphere.
Technorati Rank 1 For Everyone
Recently Technorati has been experiencing some problems in the system due to which it is showing Rank: 1 for every blog. This is a good news for all bloggers as they don't have to use photoshop techniques anymore to tell their non-geek friends that they own the most top ranked blog in the blogging world. The Technorati authority is however the same as before and I guess this is the only thing left that makes my blog superior to most of the other blogs right now.

I am sure most of you use the Microsoft Office Tools frequently in your daily life. The thing that makes Microsoft Office Suite different from other Document handling tools is that it is packed with a huge set of new features and utilities that make it easy for you to collaborate and edit your documents however the thing it still lacks is portability and mobility.
Backup and Share Documents with 'Office on Demand'
The 'Office on Demand' is a cool extension or add-on for Microsoft Office Suite that lets you upload your files directly to your Box.net online storage account. Using this brilliant add-on you can directly upload your Microsoft Office files and documents to your Box accoun. You just have to connect to your Box account using the login feature and it takes a minute to upload your documents. Currently it’s compatible with Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Access both in 2007 and 2003 (and XP/Vista!).

Windows Live Folders or Windows Sky Drive was one of the most awaited online Microsoft services. The service was launched by Microsoft in late June to a group of selected beta testers along with the release of Windows Live Gallery but the good news is that this great service is no longer in closed Beta phase.
Try Out Windows Live Folders
This does not mean that the service is out of its Beta phase rather I should say that the Closed Beta Phase has just been expanded i.e. the service is now open to even those Live ID users who were not members of the Closed Beta Group for Windows Live Folders. To get started just rush on to Windows Live Folders and click the "Get Started" button to start your experience.

The title of this post definitely seems cheesy no? Perhaps this is one of my most unusual posts ever but lets just say I am one of those horny computer geeks too who would love to type on a USB Keyboard Bra. Yes thats right! Angel Kitty from Japan have designed a USB Keyboard that a girl can wear as her bra lol. Finally I think its time when technology meets fashion.
The USB Keyboard Bra For Geeks
The USB Keyboard Bra has been made using soft silicone material with beautiful pink lace stitched to its sides. This is definitely the best choice for those Geek guys and Geek Husbands who want to have a day of romance and pleasure with their desperate girlfriends and wives. I think you should definitely try this out (on your girlfriends that is) lol.

Recently I bought a new high-end computer and the Nvidia GeForce 7600GT Graphics Card which makes the best combination to run Vista. I installed Windows Vista on one of my drives leaving Windows XP unchanged and untouched on my default C drive. After playing around a little in Windows Vista it revealed on me that most of my hardware drivers and some softwares were not compatible with Vista so I decided to switch back.
Uninstall Vista on Dual Boot Machine
I formatted the drive containing Windows Vista but the problem is that whenever the computer restarted it showed the dual-boot option for Vista and for Windows XP even though I had deleted Windows Vista. After a little research I came over a solution that helps you fix the dual boot issue for a clean Vista uninstall.
