Snipping Tool
Has anyone wished they could take a screen shot of something really cool but you either don't know about the PRNT SCRN button or you hate Microsoft Paint. Well, for those who don't have Windows 7 you're out of luck.
For those who do have Windows 7 there is a tool that Microsoft added called Snipping Tool (see picture). This allows you to take a snap shot of windows without having to use Paint to crop or highlight or point out features. Here is an example of what it can do:
Notice that this is not square, it is free form. You can do a boring old square but that doesn't make a fun blog entry.
Just thought this was cool and thought I would share.

Cool new feature in IE
Don't know if I have showed anyone in the family this but the new version of IE (Internet explorer) has these things called accelerators. Basically it allows you to view something without having to go to the website directly.
For example, I took a CPU on TigerDirect and used the Newegg Accelerator to find how much the item was on Newegg. This particular CPU is the same on both websites however, TigerDirect does not offer free shipping. That's one thing accelerators wont show but you can get the idea of where these things can go. At least I hope so. If not I can post more stuff about this.
Another thing with accelerators is that you can highlight a news article, and click post to blog with blogger (this website) or even Microsoft's blog site through MSN/Bing/Hotmail. I'm going to continue to play around with these while in class. Teacher is trying to teach us about how important technology is and is somehow fascinated that you can hook up a notebook to a projector.

I just thought this up, but maybe someone has said it before? Can anyone let me know if someone has so that I can credit them appropriately?
Thanks
