They've tested it on Crysis and a number of other games and results are pretty good, shame about the price though!

At the Analyst Day event from October 24, Google didn't announce a lot of things, but it revealed what we can expect from a new version of Gmail that will launch soon:
* prefetching messages. When you load a page that contains a list of messages, Gmail will fetch them in advance so that when you need them, they'll be available instantly. Google said that Gmail will have a completely new JavaScript architecture that will bring a much better performance.
* a new contact manager that will be shared with other Google apps (Google Docs, Google Calendar etc.)
* integrating features from other Google products (an example of an existing feature was the "Open as a Google Document" links placed next to Microsoft Office attachments).

With the fall television schedule in full swing, many of us are back in the habit of plopping down in front of the tube at night to catch the latest installment of our favorite show when it's scheduled to air. That means clearing your schedule to watch the show and then sitting in front of the TV for a whole hour just for 43 minutes' worth of programming. That doesn't seem very productive, does it? Luckily, this viewing season there are more ways than ever to catch the latest episodes of your best-loved shows without becoming a slave to the prime-time television schedule. So forget the fall lineup as you know it, because this year you're going to watch TV on your terms....

If Firefox has a flaw to get bummed about, it's that it slows down your machine after a few hours of steady computing. Digital Inspiration has a workaround for this that does not include any sort of restart reinstalling:
Start Firefox and export your bookmarks as a file on your hard-drive (we'll need them later).
Type firefox.exe - P in the Run box of Windows.
Click the Create Profile button without making any modifications to your existing profile (which is normally called "default")

In Firefox, you can easily retrieve it by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T
In Opera, recover last Closed Tab by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z
In Internet Explorer, there's no inbuilt feature to restore closed tabs but there's a free add-in called IE7 Open Last Closed Tab that makes your IE 7 behave just like Firefox or Opera. After installing the add-on, just press Alt+X to recover closed tabs.

You can easily make your USB flash drive show up in Windows with a custom icon. Here is how to do it.
To make your USB flash drive show up in Windows with a custom icon follow these steps:
First find an .ico file you want to use.
Next, name your your .ico file autorun.ico and put it in the root of your drive.
Then create a text file with notepad called autorun.inf in the root of the drive and put this inside it:
[autorun]
icon=autorun.ico
(You can actually name the icon anything you want as long as you put the correct filename in the autorun.inf file).
Now, whenever you plug it into a Windows machine, it will show your custom icon!
