My new Windows Phone 7 device arrived today and after playing with it for a few hours, I wanted to give my initial impressions with WP7. To give a bit of background first, I have been an iPhone user since day 1 with my last phone being an iPhone 3GS. After following the WP7 development for a while, and combined with a special sale on Amazon, I figured it was time to make the switch. I ended up going with the Samsung Focus , which seems to be the favorite among the Windows Phon...

I like to design things, but colors is something I always have a hard time with. Whether it is coming up with a matching palette, or just finding some inspiration for a new color theme, I need assistance to get it right. I recently stumbled upon a web application from Adobe called Kuler. This lets you create and share color themes right from your desktop, and for those looking for inspiration, you can browse through the thousands of themes that others have shared. If you have an image in w...

We have our own forum threads and gallery allowing you to post screenshots to show off those cool desktops you spent time putting together, but there are other places you can post them to show others. My personal favorite is the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell group on Flickr. They often pick the best ones and feature them on the site. It’s also fun to browse through and see how others are customizing their desktops, and the tools they are using to do it. http://www.flick...
This is a demo video showing off some examples of the Inactive Window features in WindowFX 4. https://www.stardock.com/products/windowfx/
This is a few months old, but still very relevant due to the lies of the left about tax cuts and the deficit. Link “The Bush tax cuts wiped out last decade's budget surpluses. Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.), for example, has long blamed the tax cuts for having "taken a $5.6 trillion surplus and turned it into deficits as far as the eye can see." That $5.6 trillion surplus never existed. It was a projection by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in January 2001 to cover ...

WindowBlinds is no doubt the tool you need to change the look and feel of Windows, and has been for quite a while. There are still many out there still using an earlier version and for whatever reason have not made the jump to upgrade yet. Along with tweaks and performance improvements, WindowBlinds 7 has many new features that is well worth the upgrade. Lets take a look! Aero Skinning WindowBlinds will obviously change the entire theme of Windows, but maybe you ju...
