Almost Somewhere – » Creating Separators in Vista Start Menu.
I don’t like Windows to keep track of programs I use often because it doesn’t really got it right. At the same time, I am 
not much of a fan of the Vista Start Menu when it comes to the All Programs menu. To keep programs I use often close at hand, I disabled the tracking of recent programs and pin my favorite programs to the Start Menu instead*.
When I have a lot of shortcuts in the start menu, it takes longer for me to locate something because there are no separators or dividers! So, here’s a trick to creating those dividers and make your Start Menu look like the screenshot.[…]

Increase Image Resolution: Convert Raster Images to Vector | MakeUseOf.com
Most of the digital images and pictures you see on the web are raster graphics images or bitmaps (.bmp). A raster graphics image is simply defined with a grid of pixels that are set to certain colors. Raster graphics images are resolution dependent and cannot be made larger without loss of apparent quality. Therefore, for images that need to be scaled to higher resolution often it is better to use vector graphics.
Images that are rendered using vector graphics will scale to any size and still maintain smooth edges. This is ideal for dealing with things such as fonts and logos. Inkscape is an open source vector graphics editor that you can use to convert raster images to vector graphic images.
I will demonstrate how to use Inkscape to convert the Inkscape logo above into an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image. SVG is a vector graphics file format.
First of all you will need to download Inkscape and install it. It’s available for Mac OS X and Windows, and of course with the source you can compile it on Linux and other platforms as well.
Shitty Microsoft program becomes unintentionally awesome – Music | thevine.com.au.
Microsoft’s terrible new Songsmith program – in which it chooses the backing track to put behind your vocals – is turning up some unexpectedly awesome gems.
From the so bad it’s good department comes this hijacking of the Songsmith software. By now you’ve seen the gag-inducing ad. Intended for people to record their vocals into and then turn into a shitty song, canny audiologists are instead taking vocals from famous songs and letting the software see what monsters it can come up with.
Techno versions of Oasis! Lounge music from Van Halen!! Eurotrash from Metallica!!! But I’ll be damned if this mariachi version of The Police’s ‘Roxanne’ isn’t the best song so far this year. I’m not even joking.I feel a meme coming on.
