Something for fun -

Instead of writing another 'dry' technical/philosphical blog I have got some cool stuff today, quite interesting and fun tools to use as a pc user. Having all those dual, quad... cores (and God knows how many in future) lets give your pc some more work to do beside sitting idle.

1. Launchy: http://www.launchy.net/

It enables to luanch your programs very fast plus it senses what would you like to launch. just press alt+space and see the magic

2. Make3d: http://make3d.stanford.edu/

Lets you convert your images into 3d model and then you can explore them like going inside a 3d game. you can crerate you account and upload your photos and the site will convert them in 3d but normally it takes 2 days to get it done. Alternatively they have got their source code up there in c++ and if you are c++ geek then you can download and compile on your machine.

3. And here comes the king! PicLens http://www.piclens.com/

A plugin to your browser that makes the experience of searching/viewing the images online stunning!

Download -> install -> restart browser -> visit images.google.com -> search any images -> and click "Play" icon at left bottom of any image and here you go! seeing is believing
