Gickr: Create animated Gifs

Gickr is a service that allows you to create animated Gifs online. There are a couple ways that you can do it though. You can either search Flickr for pictures, use your Flickr account, or you can just upload images to Gickr and create your animated Gif. You can also choose from different sizes and speeds for your Gif. It's really easy to use and it's fun so try it out. Technorati Profile

Link Alert the Firefox Extension

Link Alert is a Firefox extension that puts a small little icon next to the cursor when you hover over a link. The little icon next to the cursor identifies what you're about to click on like a Word document or Zip file. It works for many different types of links including the following: new windows, secure sites, email links, javascript, word documents, excel spreadsheets, PDF files, Zip files, applications, text files, images, and RSS feeds. This comes in very handy and useful. Have fun!

Many of you may have already seen this but this is the first picture of the Zune manufactured by Microsoft. The scroll wheel looking thing is just four buttons and it has an FM tuner and FM transmitter built in.

Vista Soft Drink

Microsoft handed out these free Lemon-Lime Talking Rain sparkling water drinks to employees. The can has a Windows Vista logo on it and a web address for them to learn more about Vista. It seems that they're trying to build hype within the company also.

List of best free and open-source software

I just thought I would share this great resource for the best free and open-source software for Windows and Mac. Both the Windows and Mac lists have many categories such as web browsing, IM, email, RSS readers and much more! Here is a quote from the site " Free and op en-source software is good for you and for the world. This is the best software that we know of. No adware, no spyware, just good software." Go to the site at Open Source Windows and Open Source Mac.
