TeuxDeux : A Fresh Minimal Approach to ToDo Lists
I’m a big fan of GTD and keeping my life as organized and structured as possible. I Currently use a simple WhiteBoard at home with Sharpie Pens to jot down everything that I need to know.

Yesterday while browsing through my RSS Subscriptions I chanced upon TeuxDeux thanks to John Gruber(Daring Fireball) who described... Read The Rest →
[Tool] Mozilla Plugin Check
Browser security has become a raging debate these days, with the myriad of plugins and extensions you can install on your computer to customize your internet experience.

So what Mozilla is trying to do is trying to make plugin management as easy as managing extensions in Firefox is. Though the plugin check page is limited by what it can do at the moment, it will be... Read The Rest →
Hack Attack : Share Internet over WiFi in Windows 7
Windows 7 has come with many new features that are under the hood. One such feature is the native support to create Wireless Ad Hoc Networks. While the built in functionality of Windows7 does not allow you to share your internet connection over the Wireless network you create, third party tools like the very popular Connectify make this task easier and more secure. But the one thing that I didn’t like about Connectify is its interface. It just doesn’t blend with the interface of Windows7. Have a look at the... Read The Rest →
Notify – Email Client for OS X
Notify does exactly what its name says, tells you about what’s there in your GMail inbox.. I’ve been using Notify for quite some time, and its a handy app to have running all the time on your Mac. Its simple, unobtrusive and has the true Mac experience. Version 1.x released a few months back just does the basic Email notifications thing, but the upcoming 2.0 version will see Notify do a lot more. Features like viewing messages from multiple accounts (not restricted to GMail and Google Maps only), inline replies... Read The Rest →

Save URL’s for Later Reading with Quiet Read
Sometimes, a really simple app can do wonders to your productivity. One among them is Quiet Read, a free application released recently from BambooApps. With Quiet Read, you can just bookmark pages and mark them for later review just by simple “drag and drop” . I’ve been using Quiet Read for the past few hours, and what I really like about it is, its minimal implementation. Since it sits there in the menu bar all the time, its as simple as just drag and drop the page you want to... Read The Rest →
Bettween Makes @Twitter Conversations a Breeze
As Twitter goes more mainstream than it ever was, I see a lot of people having chat like conversations on Twitter. It’s just so easy, and its inevitable that your one tweet leads of to a very interesting conversation. With Twitter working on its own implementation of ReTweet it is only going to more harder for us to keep track of our conversations in the coming future. Twitter has never really had any easy to manage your conversations and this is where Bettween comes into the scene. Replete with its... Read The Rest →
[Tip] Tweak Windows 7 Taskbar to Your Hearts Desire
Microsoft Released Windows 7 worldwide on October 22nd. So far Windows7 has proven itself to be a successful release so far. One of the most radical changes in Windows7 has been the all new redesigned taskbar.

However there are people who wish to tweak this taskbar according to their own wish and desires.. If you are... Read The Rest →
