Playing a song as a background process in Windows

Sometimes you ask yourself how to do cool things like playing a song in the background (ie. no visible interface or application) upon login on a Windows box. Being completely unfamiliar with using DOS I wasn’t quite sure how to go about doing this, but apparently it was quite easy. So here I am documenting [...]

Top 10 Windows Mobile Applications

If you followed my previous post about making the most of the Windows Mobile experience, your Windows Mobile phone should already have a slicker interface, seem faster, have new features, be touch friendly as well as feel much more intuitive all around. Needless to say that was the vital first step to getting your money’s [...]

Making the most out of the Windows Mobile Experience

If you so happen to own a Windows Mobile phone or played with one before, there are likely to be many things that you find rather terrible about it. What with the iPhone, Android and Palm, it’s no surprise that Windows Mobile deserves to be shunned to a shameful corner in the market. However what [...]

If the auto industry makes cars like Microsoft makes Windows?

This is an old one (and I take no credit for it), but cracks me up every time I read it and I’m sure that I’m not the first. However it’s great to share, and here it is … again :) Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, “If [...]

Bing.com – another search engine from Microsoft

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’d have heard about Bing. Bing is Microsoft’s latest attempt at a search engine to challenge Google – and last Monday, they released it for public use. They did MSN search, Live! search, and now Bing.

The Open-Source Market – Limitless and Forever expanding?

Warning: long post. All lazy readers must hide now. In my original post about the practicality of open source business models, I talked about the differences in Kaizen and Kakushin, how they were used, their benefits and disadvantages, and how each could be used to our benefit. In this post, I have decided to go [...]

Windows 7 “feature”: let’s include XP!

Boring Introduction I recommend you skip reading but you’ll read it anyway. Firstly, hello Planet Larry! For existing readers, thinkMoult is now also a citizen of Planet Larry, which is governed by a cow named Larry (isn’t Larry a guy’s name?), and is mainly populated by geeky blogs. I decided to delay my next article [...]

Windows 7 Review

To those who have been keeping up with all the Windows 7 buzz, this post will seem very “behind the times”. Well, I don’t care :) To those who are just casual browsers of the thinkMoult blog, this might interest you. (Well, it was also in my drafts folder for a long time, and I [...]

The end is nigh!

You know the end is nigh when October ends. You know the end is nigh when you have an idea blockage and instead perform a medley of short compositions. You know the end is nigh when you dress up as an Ipod commercial for Halloween. You know the end is nigh when 9 people are [...]

Windows 7

Recently found this very interesting blog post on Planet KDE, and thought I might share it here: Windows 7 – and what army? and here’s a link to the Bloomberg article that supports it: Bloomberg – Click Oh, and to keep things interesting, here is a screenshot leaked for Windows 7. Apparently they’re going for [...]
