To use Dexrex, all you have to do is start the application, launch your IM client and start chatting. Dexrex will automatically capture all chat traffic and store them on an online account. There is no extra signup required. The username and password you use for the IM network becomes your login credentials to access the online storage. Once online you can search through the stored chat records using helpful filters and time parameters. There is also an option to import previous conversations saved on your computer to Dexrex’s online storage.

Dexrex can be used even if you have multiple logins IDs. Just add all your available screen names to your online account. If you use IM networks from different computers you can install the application on all the computers you use.

Additionally, Dexrex can be used with Blackberrys to store SMS.

It also integrates with the jump list and your unread mails are accessible from it.

Gmail Notifier Plus can retrieve mails from only a single account including Google Apps account. The notifier uses Gmail’s secured RSS feed to retrieve the mails and the username and password are stored using a machine's dependent encryption, so it’s pretty safe.

You can also search on Twitter by ending the search keyword with “-–search” directly from the address bar.

TwitterBar is especially useful when you want to share the URL of the page you are currently visiting on Twitter. To do this simply click on the “Post to Twitter” button without leaving the page and the URL will be automatically shortened and tweeted along with a customizable message such as “I’m browsing this” or “Check out this page” or anything you like. You can also choose the URL shortener among 3 different options.

This is a real 3.5 inch computer hard disk that has been transformed into a working desk clock using quartz drive movement. The clock measures 4 inches by 6inches and runs on 1 AA battery. The top cover of the drive is turned into a stand and screwed at the back allowing the clock to stand upright on your desk.

The hard drive clock is available in white and black and is priced at $34 ~ $35.

With some effort, I suppose it’s possible to create such a clock at home, using a cheap quartz wall clock. I have to try this with my old hard drive.

Abdullah has to investigate and interrogate his fellow passengers, and this ship has some of the most unusual passengers on board. Famous literary characters like Odysseus, Count Dracula and Ophelia, the heroine of Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, historical figures like the 15th century poet Francois Villon, the Russian “Mad Monk”, Rasputin and Olaf, the Viking.

The game’s selling point is it’s humor. I laughed at their jokes, dialogues and their often absurd and bizarre tasks (finding sausages to run an ice machine, for instance and floating humans inside a periscope!). Much of the game’s humor arises from the dialogues. Rasputin has a particularly great story how he escaped death. You can go up to any character at any time, click “Blabla” and start a nonsensical conversation. 

The game has no voice acting, which actually suits the game and the graphics are quite colorful. The puzzles are wacky and not too difficult to solve.

Eye of the Kraken is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure game. If you love such point and click games and looking to spend some 6-7 hours of pure fun, this is the game you should try.

Windows4all is based on Microsoft Silverlight and looks exactly like Windows Vista minus transparencies. It simulates the Windows operating system inside a web browser - users can launch applications, play WMV media files, create new text documents and even save it (temporarily) right inside the browser.

Besides a desktop, taskbar, start menu and sidebar, currently it includes these applications:

File Explorer – browse files on a virtual hard drive
Internet Explorer – browse websites with a simple, minimalist browser
Video Player – play WMV video files on your local drive
Rich text editor
Notepad
Paint
Calculator
Games like Chess, Solitaire, Spider, Tic-tac-toe

It even has an option to “install” new applications which are XAP files, a type of file for Silverlight applications.

This is Windows4all’s first and alpha release.

Deluge’s supports plugins, plugins being almost like de facto standard for open source products. In fact, most of Deluge’s functionality comes from plugins although you won’t notice is as these are installed by default. A few more are available for download, like Torrent search, RSS feeds, Network Activity Graph etc.

One option that I like in Deluge, is the ability to minimize the program to the system tray, and password protect the tray icon. There are times when you keep your PC running for torrenting while you are away. You can then put a password in Deluge to prevent anybody from stopping the download or snooping around.

Now torrents do not download all the parts of a file in order. It downloads different parts of the file randomly depending upon availability and assembles the complete file in your PC once all the parts has been downloaded. Due to this, you often can’t play media files even if you have completed more than half of the download. But Deluge has an option to prioritize the first and last pieces of a file, allowing you to preview media files before downloading. I wish uTorrent had such an option.

Other useful features include:

- Ability to select files from a torrent before beginning the download
- Ability to specify global download directory, and a completed download directory
- Ability to stop uploading a torrent once it has reached a specified ratio
- Global and per-torrent speed limits
- Queuing system to better manage bandwidth between downloads
- Supports BitTorrent Protocol Encryption, Private Torrents, uTorrent Peer exchange and many more.
