Your friend said it is a great movie but the damn thing won´t play in your computer. The screen remains black and you hear no audio at all. Many users tend to download a huge codec package and install it on their system. Sure, the movie most likely plays fine after this method but it seems a bit like an overkill if installing one single codec would have lead to the same result.

Vista Voice Recognition gone awry Video
You might have heard this story before. Microsoft was holding a press conference in which they wanted to demonstrate the voice recognition capabilities of the upcoming Windows Vista operating system. Unfortunately for Microsoft the voice recognition did not work as intended.
How to minimize every window to the tray
This freeware tool is so sweet. I hate when dozens of windows clutter my precious taskbar space with no means to minimize them to the tray. I especially don´t like it when I´am not using the program for a long time but want to keep it running, for example transcoding large video streams.
Save and Restore Firefox Sessions
Firefox is not able to remember where you left off the last time you were using it. This is normally not a big deal if you are able to close firefox after you´ve done what you wanted to do.

How to lookup your own IP
I have written a small php script that lookups your IP, your browser, the refering site and the remote port. The website has no ads at all and loads pretty fast.

RIAA droped some cases recently
The guys at techdirt.com are reporting that the RIAA dropped to cases recently where the defendant claimed that it was not him using the IP to download copyrighted files.
