Use an iPhone / iPod touch as a keyboard and mouse for your Media Center {Engadget HD}
Sep 26th 2008 9:00PM J Goodwin...it works with a 199$ iPod Touch too. You don't need any iPhone. And if you want to replace your 100$ wireless keyboard and mouse and own a kick ass internet surfing device as well as the ultimate remote control including mouse movement, wireless keyboard, and 55 button MCE remote emulation...199$ doesn't sound too expensive does it?
Change your Windows open/save dialogs with PlacesBar Editor {Download Squad}
Jun 30th 2008 9:00AM thanks for the post here. I am the author of PlacesBar editor and just wanted to say a few things.
1. Yes you can edit the registry with regedit or any other app but you have to admit a lot of users out there wouldn't know the registry from the Recycle Bin.
2. I work at a company that GASP still uses Windows 2000 and Office XP. So for those of you that say "Oh Vista does this already" you have to admit a TON of users out there on Windows 2000 and XP still.
3. The new Vista features only work for applications that know to use the new Open/Save As. So while Notepad does, Photoshop CS3 and Notepad ++ still use the old dialog that PlacesBar Editor allows you to customize. You would be surprised how many older applications do not display the new Vista style open/Save As especially awesome applications like Notepad++ and UltraEdit. I find it very convenient to have my often used places there.
4. For the user complaining about the defaults, the reason they are defaulted to Desktop is because there ARE NO defaults. In windows you get the defaults if there are no registry entries present, so when you click revert to defaults I essentially erase your registry entries and leave it blank so it goes to the Windows defaults which are code in Windows. Give a try and see it for yourself.
Thanks for everyone's time and compliments!
