To demonstrate the strong power of the Hoover Freemotion vacuum cleaner, a tool was created to “vacuum clean” your desktop. Docs you want to remove no longer have to be dragged to the bin, the Hoover “sucks” them right into it. Link

Thank you Sandra.

Piky is a Windows-only application that acts as a ‘basket’ that you can drop files in that you want to move.

It runs as an Explorer extension and you simply add files and folders to you basket by right-clicking on them. Then you simply navigate to your destination and empty your basket. How handy is that?

AnyTV is a standalone Windows application that provides quick access to the hundreds of TV and radio streams around the world. The application is easy to use and is much better than visiting one of the hundreds of websites that are littered with adverts and popups.

You can download the application here (direct download link here if you want to avoid all the adverts). [via]

I guess this trick is pretty old, but it’s new to me. It lets you change the text on any Web page. Just activate the page, clear the address bar, and paste this Javascript code into the address bar:

javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0

Then you can insert text, change text, delete text, and so on. But, obviously, you can’t save your changes back to the server. You can, however, save a local copy. It seems to work much better in Firefox than in IE. I haven’t tried any other browsers.
