Or maybe... Google Desktop is better than Yahoo! Widgets.

1. Does Windows 7 have the same problem as Vista?

2. Is that movie Serenity?

The cellphone law isn't there to protect you. It's there to protect the people you're going to hit. Sure we could take your word that you aren't distracted while browsing the web, but that's all it is - your word.

Interesting... I still can't see it. Tried a Ctrl+F search on the page and it still didn't show up. Must be something with my browser.

In any case, my apologies for the outburst. I still think it would be great to have the price listed in the article.

Ok... seriously guys, would it KILL you to put the price in the article? Every review you guys publish says something about the price without ever ACTUALLY TELLING US THE PRICE.

AFAIK, most compressed air isn't compressed air at all. It's some other compressed organic compound, and even though it feels like it's spraying moisture, that's not H20. It's just a condensed form of the organic compound - completely harmless to computers.

One feature I would like to see is a flush screen. If the laptop is used outdoors and especially in dusty conditions, you get a lot of dust buildup in the corners of the screen. It would be nice to have the screen flush with the bezel so you could wipe it easily.

I waited for the Logitech G5 to come on sale at Newegg and spent around $35-$40 on it. I just might spend more if the mouse deserves it, but I don't ever see myself spending more than $100 on a mouse. And I love my G5... it would take a hell of a mouse for me to consider spending that much on it.

YES! That's the first thought that popped into my mind. Let Apple do this so no one else can!

Just a handy tip I thought I might share.

As you probably know, Windows 7 includes a useful taskbar preview feature where, if you hover over an open program's taskbar icon, a preview pops up from where you can switch to or close the program. By default you have to hover over the icon for a little time (400 milliseconds) for the taskbar preview to pop up.

I found this slightly annoying since I wanted it to pop up instantly. Turns out, you can change the time delay in the registry. Here is how:

Start Menu -> Run -> regedit

In regedit, click your way to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Mouse.

Double-click on MouseHoverTime, and set the value to whatever you want. The number is in milliseconds so keep that in mind. Click OK, exit the registry, and log off then back on (alternatively, you can restart). That's it!

Enjoy.

PLEASE READ:
The MouseHoverTime value does not apply exclusively to Taskbar Previews. It will also affect other Windows functions activated by mouse hover, such as the jump lists in the Start Menu as well as the All Programs menu.
