Sometimes screen shots cannot be trusted. Using a simple javascript code, you can change any web content you want, and then capture it later on. You can now try it by paste the following code in the address bar, press Enter to see what will happen. It works for IE, Firefox, Safari and any other web browsers.

    javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0

    Now, everything on the page can be edited. Even you cannot save it, you can edit the web page and capture a screen shot. (For instance, pretend that your site have news coverage on TechCrunch) Then, you can send it to others to become a big liar.

    Okay. No one wants kernel panic. But, iPanic can help to cause the Mac OS X to kernel panic immediately. (what?) Well, it does not really cause it to kernel panic, it is fake and simulation only. For added realism, during the simulation application switching, force quit and exposé are disabled. Don’t worry. You can quit it by pressing Command+Q. It won’t harm your system but it is fun.

    Firefox 3 is fast. Even thought it is not as fast as Safari 4, Firefox 3 is good enough. For Mac users, Neil Bruce Lee built a Firefox 3 optimized build for Intel/G5 Mac. Since it is optimized, the software runs faster. It also loads the site quickly.

    Download the build right here. Choose which build you want. Be ware that add-ons and themes may break, so do a backup. Note the optimized build will not overwrite the existing Firefox 3 installed, since it is called as “Minefield”. The reason why the icon and the name is not the same as official Firefox 3 is to prevent the legal problems.


    Firefox 3 has been released. Have you participated the World Record Campaign? One of the new features is the awesome URL bar. For instance, if you typed “w” in the address bar, it will display all the related page you visited or bookmarked. It helps to select the site you want to visit quickly.

    But, not everyone loves the new and huge awesome URL bar. To disable it, type “about:config” to enter to the Firefox 3 configuration page. Click the button and accept the warning. Then, type “browser.urlbar.maxRichResults”.

    Then, edit the value to 0. Restart the Firefox. The URL bar won’t display the related sites.

    Sometimes photos just don’t fit the screen resolution, when we set it as wallpaper, it will be distorted. It makes the photo look fat. Ducklet is a Windows software which can crop and resize photos, and then set it as wallpaper quickly.

    Ducklet will not modify original file. It will create a new copy of photo. It supports common image format including png, jpg, wmf, tif and more.

    It is not a free software. It costs US$19.95. Would that be too much?


    Free-PDF-to-Word is a freeware that can help to convert the PDF files back to Word or RTF documents. It supports batch conversion and the process is fast. It claims the conversion is accurate. It does not require any Adobe reader software to finish the job.

    During the test, the conversion of the PDF document is sucess. But, there are still some minor alignment problem. I cannot say it is 100% accurate, but still useful, though.

    The software is available for Windows only.
