A Dream comes True - a Gundam Wedding

After winning a contest, this lucky couple was able to live their fantasy - having not only a Gundam themed wedding, but having a built to scale RX-78-2 model Gundam present at the ceremony. I dare any nerd to top that kinda wedding!

Mininova needs to Pay up! All illegal Links need to cough up Cash

The Pirate Bay was just the beginning. No one is outside Batman's...err, I mean the Movie and Music industry's jurisdiction. Mininova, a torrent search engine in laymen's terms, was given an ultimatum: Remove all links to illegal torrents within 3 months, or pay up 1,000 Euro's for each one.

BREIN, an organization that acts similarly like the MPAA and RIAA do, sued Mininova earlier this year and the ruling has come down. Mininova may appeal the ruling.

Gmail lets you Now pick your Contacts

It's always been an annoyance - not being able to select which of your contacts will get your email - and I find it funny that Google is marketing this change as if it's a feature, rather than a way overdue update.

When composing messages, you probably rely pretty heavily on auto-complete to add recipients. Auto-complete is convenient and fast, and usually does the trick. But sometimes seeing your list of contacts can help you remember all the people you want to include on your email. So, we've added a contact chooser to Gmail.

Sure, autocomplete is great, but what if I haven't given someone a custom name, and I totally forgot their email address?

Microsoft Apologizes for Polish Photoshop Mix-Up

It's 'kay guys. We apologized.

That's exactly how MS sounds a day after their Polish counterpart posted up an American MS ad and replaced a black employee with a overly happy white dude's face on their own site.

Microsoft's corporate twitter feed had this to say:

Marketing site photo mistake - sincere apologies - we're in the process of taking down the image

There you have it. That's all it takes to say you're sorry - a simple "lol, j/k" will suffice.

Windows 7 UAC Tips, and How to use Gadgets with it off

In Windows 7, Microsoft has given options for the users to select their 'comfort level' in UAC notifications and also improved the user interface by providing more relevant and additional information. The default user account created during the installation in Windows 7 is still a protected administrator but with a different UAC setting:


Yes, the default user would be prompted only when programs try to make changes but not the user himself. [...]
