Guess I’m average, because I didn’t know about some of these — like the ClearType setting. Don’t know if I like it or not yet, but, hey.

This is a really interesting site. All kinds of info on all types of batteries. E.g. which batteries are the best, how to store them, etc. Pretty sweet.

This is another one of my indespensible arsenal. I know, I know there’s a Firefox extension (Colorzilla) that does this same type of thing. But…(finger waving)… Color Cop works on the whole desktop.

This is a nice little utility for those of you that are as obsessive/compulsive about task bar ordering as I am.

The ongoing desktop search experience

I’ve been trying desktop search utilities for the past year now. I tried them in this order: Copernic, Google, MSN, Google and Copernic — giving each their fair shake.

I’m back to Copernic because I don’t like the way that Google Desktop jumbles all the different filetypes together. I don’t like having to narrow down searches by using “filetype:doc” search commands. The Ctrl-ctrl hotkey for Google is cool — but hotkeys are not that big of a deal for me. The Outlook integration in the Google one is nice, but with Copernic — it’s all in one place. Even though I’m a proud Gmail user, I don’t like having results from my computer displaying in my browser. Just bugs me.

Guess I should try Yahoo Desktop search at some point. It’s gotta be killer to make me switch from Copernic.
