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.
A 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…)
Here is a video of the Nexus OneAndroid 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)

For all you iPod Touch owners who have to pay for every big firmware update Apple releases, you’re in luck. In this guide I will show you how to update manually for free! It is very easy.
Here’s how:
Before we go through the steps, you need to find out the build number of your device. Plug it into iTunes, and look for “Build Version“- that is your build number (check image below).

Wow- jailbroken iPhones really stick it to Nintendo even more! The iPhone is quickly becoming a powerful gaming machine. So powerful, Sony and Ninetendo are really feeling it in the handheld gaming sector.
A YouTube user by the name of NWorksDevhas posted a video on his page of an iPhone running Super Mario 64 on an early version N64 emulator (3G4) for the iPhone.
Here is the video description:
“So far, the product seems to run freaking flawlessly.
The only problems i’m running into is duplicate button registers, delay of presses, and crashes when heavy gameplay occurs. Still looking to fix this. Until then enjoy this vid. Beta testers needed soon. Interested?”
Readers on many blogs have been debating on whether the video is real, or fake. In my opinion, this seems very possible to do.
I’ve seen many games on the Apple App Store which look just as advanced, if not, more than games I’ve played on the N64.
