How to Hide your Hard Drive in Windows

Do you have a hard drive in your computer you’d like hidden from casual users of your computer? NoDrives Manager will help you do just that. This utility basically hides the chosen hard drive’s entry from Windows Explorer (My Computer, sidebar,address bar, etc) so non-invasive users won’t know it exists.

The drive will remail technicaly accessable through the “Run” section or the command prompt- but chances are people using your computer aren’t looking to get technical and nosey. In other words, this is great for hiding that porn stash of yours- enjoy.

[Windows] How to Reset RAM

ramA lot of times, when we have multiple programs running at once, we may notice our system getting a bit sluggish. That is because every application that is running is using up a certain amount of RAM (random access memory)- some more than others. When an application is closed, it releases the memory it was using, making it available for other tasks. This doesn’t always happen though.

I will show you how to create an easy shortcut to reset your Ram when needed, and recover some of that performance power without needing a restart. (more…)

[Android] Video of the Nexus One Google Phone

Here is a video of the Nexus One Android phone by Google (built by HTC) in action. It’s a pretty short clip and shows the 3D home screen with the animated wallpaper. I like the whole wallpaper thing going on, but am not a fan of the form factor. Doesn’t look very innovative- it is a taste of designs used by previous HTC phones.

The Nexus One will be available directly through Google January 5th, 2010. It will come unlocked and work with all GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile in the US)
