Windows SteadyState

steadystateWith the long time introduction and refinement of Windows SteadyState over the years, network administrators or parents alike now have something that will satisfy their needs to create a safe shared computing environment without spending as much as a penny. It does this through two main functions, one being to control what users are able to do and not do on the computer, while the other are to keep the PC in its original state by discarding changes done by users. Ideal for usage in public or workplace computers, owners of said systems would no longer have to bear the worries of someone bogging down PCs with unwanted spyware or viewing otherwise inappropriate content. It would then be an understatement to say that Microsoft has truly outdone themselves, as this is something that will prove itself invaluable in many households and business networks over the long run.

WTF?

Just when you think things couldn’t get weirder, the guys at Pull Ups made this new ad, most likely as a practical joke that somehow found itself onto the commercial line-up while they were carelessly goofing around in their offices.

shoutcastSHOUTcast is a free server software designed for streaming media over the internet. As it turns out, that meant no more complicated than an application to create and listen to internet radio. You’ll find thousands of radio stations which are constantly updated and improved upon by hobbyists and professionals, not to mention that they are also free of charge. This adds to the simplicity of the design when you can choose between streaming radio stations into your own media player or use the convenient shoutcast toolbar/mini-player. Rarely do any sites have such a wide variety of streaming music available to the public, so be sure to appreciate and send out a good word while you’re enjoying it.

Fly Guy

flyguyThis guy to my left here, known as Fly Guy in the flash game of the same name, has given me hours of amusement in which i shall pass on to others in this post. In its essence, this is no more than a little flash game to fool around with, made only exceptional by the pure simplicity and whimsical gameplay that kept me coming back despite its lack of depth. The relative short length of gameplay an average person might get out of this never bothered me, as i took notice of the calm background music track, blended with unexpected surprises from the environment that never gets tiring at all. If you’re feeling down and low, then live your life as a dude who can fly; i know i did and the smiley are the proof of that :)

ytmndYTMNDs, better known to the commoners as sites that mostly parodies celebrities or things of potential hilarity, has been making the internet comedy headlines for quite a while now. In a short sentence, the YTMND site allows registered users  to create portals under the sub-domain and add static or animated pictures along with audio; this would inevitably make for some wild or perhaps offensive content that are actually funny in a way. Of course, persons of great popularity like Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton are just among the bunch to spawn endless amount of related portals by eager artists, but you might also find other pop culture references in there as well. After all this, you’re sure to appreciate the amount of internet phenomenons around the web, which there are many contributed to YTMND.
