If you’re like me, you let your computer – and particularly your PC’s desktop – become a complete mess before you dive in to tidy it up. One way to speed up the cleaning process is by filing away all that mess. If you want a fast way to dump files into predetermined folders, take a look at FileMenu. FileMenu is simple in concept, but it is like the Swiss Army Knife of file management. Read more
What will they think of next? A few years after the Wii revolutionized gaming with its motion-sensing Wii remote, Microsoft has raised the ante with its Kinect Sensor for the Xbox 360. Think of the Kinect as a Wii on steroids. The idea behind the Kinect is that YOU are the controller. In fact, you don’t use a controller when using the Kinect. Instead, the Kinect detects your body movements to facilitate gameplay. But is it fun?
Last week, Facebook announced its new mail service. In the process, it was also confirmed that Facebook had acquired the FB.com domain name, and was using it internally. Your first reaction might be that the Farm Bureau was paid handsomely for the domain name. That is probably the case, just by virtue of the fact that two letter domain names are prime real estate. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Farm Bureau got more money, simply because Facebook was the buyer.
According to reports, the Farm Bureau did not know that they were dealing with Facebook, as they sold it to an intermediary that worked on behalf of a number of corporate clients. (And if you’re really into unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, a poster on YCombinator complained that he sold the socialgraph.com domain for $1500 to a woman who claimed that she wanted it for her home page, and only later did he learn that the domain actually was transferred to Facebook).
I’m not sure that I buy that the Farm Bureau had no clue as to the true buyer’s identity. Would the Farm Bureau really agree on a price for FB.com, without first doing some research? That research would certainly entail finding out the clients, if at all possible, of the intermediary that was buying the domain.
Or is all of that moot, and the price of a domain is what it is, regardless of buyer?

Zomm is one of those neat little gadgets that I’m not sure I would ever buy, might raise an eyebrow at if given it for a gift, but would probably find ridiculously useful if I had one. It does three things:
The Zomm, which won Best of Innovations at 2010’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show), is keychain-sized, comes in white or black with blue accents, and will fit in the palm of your hand. It costs about $80.00.
Check out the video post on the Zomm below. It’s by super-geek Chris Pirillo, and will, at the very least, remind you of exactly what level of geek you are by comparison. If five minutes of Chris is too much for you to handle, go one video down and check out the Zomm commercial – Chris is funnier, though. Enjoy, and have a fantastic weekend!
Who’s getting the Zomm on your Christmas shopping list?
