1. A Nigerian Email Scam Filter - I mean how hard it is to realize that "If you deposit 2,000 dollars in my account, I will give your three hundred bazillion dollars in return" is a scam.
2. Anything that could make me forget about The Who's performance during the Super Bowl - Good god... make the bad images stop.
3. A countdown clock to opening day of baseball - Cannot wait... seriously, baseball needs to get here soon after an ultimately forgettable football season. Bring on the PEDs! Bring on the overpaid Yankees! I want to watch Field of Dreams till my eyes bleed and argue with some old guy about the statistical importance of Franklin Gutierrez.
4. A Canadian Application - Something that makes my computer friendlier and more ap to know something about hockey.
5. A Cooking Application - No seriously, I'm tired of eating corned beef hash heated up in a microwave.

At least nerds and their graphics cards are keeping the economy afloat
(From Tech Rave)
While it may not be a sign that the economy is recovering quickly, it's good to see some industries bounce back from the abyss. The graphics processor market is humming along nicely since people like cards that make their video games render cool explosions and effects.
Third quarter graphics processors shipments jumped 21.2 percent sequentially after an initial rise in Q2 2009, according to the latest numbers from Jon Peddie Research. Overall 119.45 million units were shipped during the period, exceeding the record 111 million units that were shipped in the year-ago quarter, as computer vendors built up inventory in preparation for the Windows 7 launch.
As usual, JPR's report includes market share data and covered both discrete and integrated graphics -- thus as expected Intel continued to hold the top spot with 52.7% of the market, bolstered by its installed base of integrated graphics chipsets. Nvidia was second with 24.9%, followed by a closing in AMD with 19.8%.
Noticing a trend in the tech market? Everyone is making some profit. Good news...

Reasons why you're still single... you play "The Sims"
I can understand playing video games to be a football player, marine or wizard - but to play a game (like The Sims) that replicated real life is somewhat redundant. Wouldn't you have more fun actually doing that in your real life by having your accomplishments be something more than points in a game?Just some thoughts, becuase I seriously can't wait for people to start spending hours on end playing Look at your Computer for four hours.
And it's sequel Sitting on your butt for the better part of your life.
