Thumbs up AOL "Bling-ware" Uninstaller
Tired of excessive AOL bundled software? I found this tiny 37.9 kb free app that will dump some of this unneccesary stuff.

Click above for more info, below for just the download. I used it yesterday to dump their Spyware Scan (due to continuously posting false +'s) and today this PC just seems happier, and I be couldn't be any happier! Check it out, aol-er's. It offers the user the option of which "bling" to fling.

i think this is just about the coolest (although fairly useless) freeware EVER......it allows you to type in a location (yes, even your home adress) and it will find it for you using satellite imagery, the pictures are sort of old, but who cares? its free!

Ever get bored?
http://www.blifaloo.com
I rarely have time to be bored. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my family or jogging.

But the other day, I started to feel the stirrings of boredom. It was the longest five minutes of my life! Determined never to be bored again, I hopped on the Net to find a solution.

I found Blifaloo, a site dedicated to relieving boredom. There are cartoons, riddles, illusions and jokes to keep you amused. My favorites are the magic tricks. If I was bored more often, I'd take up magic as a hobby.

If you find yourself with a few spare minutes, stop by Blifaloo. It is guaranteed to keep you occupied.

I don't know if someone has posted this yet but it's an excellent defragging program. Free of course. It's called Diskeeper Lite.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 has landed
Praise be
By John Leyden
Published Wednesday 30th November 2005 11:10 GMT
Get breaking Software news straight to your desktop - click here to find out how

The much-anticipated final release of Firefox 1.5 was released on Tuesday. Linux, Mac and Windows users of the popular open source browser can download it via the Mozilla website.

Key improvements with the browser include automatic updates (which means users no longer need to download a complete new version of the browser to upgrade), faster browser navigation, drag and drop reordering for browser tabs (previously only available as a third-party plug-in, improvements to pop-up blocking and better support for Mac OS X. There's also a number of bug fixes and security enhancements as explained in greater detail here.

The Mozilla Foundation are planning to use the SpreadFirefox website to showcase user-submitted videos of Firefox fans gushing about the product as part of a marketing blitz due to raise the profile of the already popular browser. Recent figures from web analytics firm OneStat.com suggest Mozilla-based browsers have a total global usage share of 11.51 per cent in a market still dominated by Microsoft's ubiquitous IE browser software. ®

Check this out. Haven't tried it yet. Sounds like a cool tool.

http://www.relaxingsoftware.com/atmlitehome.htm

Atmosphere Lite allows you to turn your PC into a complete nature sound environment generator. No experience of sound editing is required and you can have your first soundscape running within seconds. Create your own relaxation CDs, sound effects for video or webpages, or just sit back and relax to the realtime natural sounds though your hifi, headphones or PC speakers.

now that is cool.

You know I had to install this but I think all it really does is unpack it.
Going to copy the folder and zip it up and uninstall it it and see.

Yep it works. I just unzipped the folder and it opened ok.

Edit:
Ok the program works but some are the files in the sub folder are not the same file type name and have the windows default icon. So I can not just click on the files in the animations folder without getting a open with box. So all that was losted was the added things it added to the regisrty that are gone.
