PortableApps 1.5 Released

PortableApps.Com
Of course, this came out a long while ago. But I forgot to check my feeds and therefore...

PortableApps, for those that don't know, are a collection of free, open source applications, similar to U3-enabled flash drives. They are bundled with a launcher for on-the-go access, especially via memory card or flash drive.
Some of the more popular applications that have been converted to portable applications include Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Pidgin, Sumatra PDF, and OpenOffice.org, but the PortableApps.com database is huge and includes tens of more applications; at least one hundred.

The PortableApps.com 1.5 in question here is PortableApps' launcher/client. 1.5 includes a bunch of new features, including a new display engine (and new customizable themes, coming in the next release), application renaming and icon hiding, more language support (37 languages at the moment), wallpaper swapping, and more.

See here for more details.

The Baron's Classics the Second

Tally Ho, old chaps. I present before thee another ingenious invention. It is a classic in the sense that it's quite simple, and yet quite functional and practical.

I clarify that it is not the steam-powered grenade depicted to the right, though it does satisfy both requirements of simple and functional.

AutoClick 2.2

It has acquired the functionality of a variety of automated clicking apparati, yet a few features have deemed it "a notch higher" than the remaining assortment of programs of its kind.

For one, it has a hotkey. It is surprising the quantity of auto-clickers, if you will, that lack a hotkey of sorts. This is multiplied in utility when coupled with Windows Hider

Basic functionality is included. Additionally, the species of click is entirely customizable, encompassing such permutations like a double right click. The hotkey may be decided upon entirely by the user. Click Interval is simply defined as 'awesome'. If one has mind to, one may play something of a practical joke with windows hider and Autoclick. Set the hours as high as you can be bothered to place it. Following that, define the Freeze Pointer value as True. Or click the button. Hide Autoclick. Observe the 'lulz' ensue.

Smart Click is the piece de resistance of this rather simple little package. Personally, I've only made 'practical' usage of this contrivance with a flipbook of sorts, when I cannot be bothered to create one by my own hands. The 'engrish' is questionable, but the digital appliance is a quality tool.

iPhone SDK 3.0 is out for developers

The new firmware for the iPhone has come out for developers, and is to come to the end users by later this year around summer. The newest features are really interesting and should make you reconsider if you want to get it or not if you have an iPod Touch. In recent weeks, the iPod Touch 2g has finally been jailbroken, and that allows you all to use it for homebrew purposes and now once the official supported jailbreaks come out, I am all for jailbreak. However, once summer rolls around and the 3.0 SDK is released for purchase, the iPhone owners will surely upgrade and then wait for the jailbreak for 3.0 to come out, but it will probably pose a harder change for iPod touch owners.
Among the newest features from apple with the newest firmware, we find copy, cut and paste, landscape mode for notes, and mail, accessory support, and many other features.

Update: You know that bluetooth chip that we all found in the iPod Touch 2G for the Nike+ when we were taking them apart? It turns out that that chip was really a bluetooth chip, and when firmware 3.0 finally comes out, we the proud iPod Touch 2G users will be able to use bluetooth enabled headphones.
