Anyone here remember Dreamscene? It was apart of the ‘Windows Vista Ultimate Extras’, a long winded name for the extra bits and bobs you get for forking out an extra $60 for Windows Vista Ultimate (compared to Windows Vista Home Premium). For anyone doesn’t, it was basically an extra which allowed you to use a video as your desktop background as opposed to a still image; a pointless feature, but nonetheless at least it looks good and impresses the kids.

Now if you’ve upgraded to Windows 7 or your using a Mac and missing this feature, do not worry, as there are solutions for both to make your Desktop pretty again (and no it’s not Deskscapes which is just a rip off). Video and tutorials after the break… (continue reading…)

On the Mac, it’s a difficult process getting lyrics to songs and album art automatically. You PC users? Your lucky. Go get iArt, it’ll search through your entire library, either finding the album art or lyrics to each song.

Most of us naturally don’t want to wait or leave our computers on for that long, so after the break I’ll give you guys the solution… and the problem with that solution

Ah, so I bet you’re thinking now, ‘Wow, another boring post on another boring blog in a sea of 185.62 million other blogs…’. And for the most part, your right. That figure’s made up of 72.82 million Chinese blogs (which, unless your Chinese, probably doesn’t mean anything to you) and, arguably the more important proportion for the few who stumbled upon this post, 112.8 million blogs in other countries.

Now, how do I differentiate my first post on my blog from the millions of others which start with the sentence…

“Hi, this is my new blog. I hope for many more posts in the future. Please keep reading.”
