Cute Puppy that Clean Your Screen

September 13th, 2008 | Category: Cute & Funny, Downloads, Video Clips | 3 Comments

Is your screen full of dust, smudge marks, maybe even potato chip grease? Clean it today for free!


It is cute, isn’t it? :) Seriously, you don’t want a puppy to lick your screen, do you?

Anyway, you can download the screen saver and install it (I can’t make it work on Mac OS X Leopard), then it will pop up whenever your computer left idle. ;)

Prefer cats? Here is the cat version.

Google Chrome LogoGoogle Chrome is the open source web browser developed from scratch by Google. Available in beta in more than 40 languages, Google Chrome is a new approach to the browser that’s based on the simplicity and power that users have come to expect from Google products.

June 12th, 2008 | Category: Downloads, Tips n Tricks, Yahoo! | 13 Comments

yahoo-messenger-logo.jpgYahoo Messenger is one of the most popular instant messengers of today. When you download Yahoo! Messenger(YM), you actually only download a small size installer which will download the full size Yahoo Messenger when it is loaded.

But, the YM installer restarts the installation when your line is unstable or the YM download site is busy. It is rather irritating. I once spent 30 minutes to see it keeps restarting the installation!

Here is the solution! We can skip the small YM installer and directly download the full Yahoo! Messenger standalone installer.

Here are the download links for YM standalone installer:

Hopefully this tip will solve your problem. It is useful too when you need to install YM on multiple computers. BTW, my YM id is liewcf1980 :)
