Indeed…sometimes, I have these bouts of insaneness and I open up task manager, and start killing memory hogging processes. This usually takes some time as I scroll through XP’s 60ish processes and Vista’s obscene 100 processes. Well…I shall do that no longer!
What you do with this little app is mark up system and critical processes, etc, that you want to keep. Press the big kill button and everything else goes poof!
However, what you really want to do before you do this, is know what you’re killing first. Because, honestly, for your own sanity, don’t kill processes you dont even know 
First, figure out what all those nasty processes are, THEN do this.

An interesting application for today…this little app starts applications at startup according to if your Caps Lock button is on or off.
I know, this sounds a bit weird and probably useless…but…think about this.
For example, most people, open up IE (GASP) or FF, outlook, etc, once their computer turns on. Its kinda like your default workspace. Well…what if some days, you honestly just want to check something real quick and don’t want everything popping up, while most days you want everything there?
Capster! Set it so all your daily programs run if caps lock isn’t on, and if caps lock IS on, nothing loads. That way, when you’re logging in, you can determine how much stuff you want to load when you login. It could come in nifty

Ever wondered what the code to a computer virus looks like?
Neither have I. But this guy has taken the actual source code of common computer viruses and turned it into a visual image of each computer virus.
I’d like to know more about how he did it, but the article doesn’t say, it just includes some very cool pictures.

No….it doesn’t remove all the noise that you hear while you’re trying to concentrate, although that would be REALLY nice.
This little program removes digital noise from photographs. This is really obvious when you’re either taking a photograph at high zoom (when camera starts digital extrapolating) or when you’re taking photos at night and you have a high ISO on. Its all the little red and yellow dots that appear over the image. This program learns as it fixes noise and removes it to provide a much cleaner image. Now…sadly, this thing is one of the few programs that is posted at flashladybug that…isn’t free 
However, you can clear up a few photos using the trial edition which is for 15 days, or buy the full version for 20 bucks. Still kind of sad that it isn’t free. I had expected the standard edition to be free and the profession ed to be paid…but such is not the case.

Funny how some of these programs pop up just when you need em.
Instant Eyedropper tool is a nifty little thing for graphic artists and web designers out there. I’m sure lots of other people could use it…but lets face it, who really needs hex code for colors other than graphic artists and web designers? 
This thing sits in your tray, when you find a color you want to know the code for, you go and click and drag from the little circle in your tray. Drag it to the color you want to know about, and just let go. Result? Your clipboard now has the hex code in it. Just paste and off we go
If you don’t want it to auto pop into your clipboard, thats in the options too. Now, it will just display the hex code above the cursor.
Nifty little tool, and…its free as usual!

Here’s an interesting little program that I have found to be quite nice for the few days I’ve had it. Nubs allows you to use all 4 sides of your monitor as “taskbars.” When you drag a window to one of the sides, it makes a little “nub” on the side that looks like the taskbar minimized window. So, right now, I have firefox on the top of my screen, aim windows on my left, and the rest on the normal taskbar. This lets me organize a bit better, and I dont know, I seem to like it
Give it a shot, Nubs

You know whats really annoying sometimes? When you make a wireless network that needs a key, write it down and setup computers, and then loose that slip of paper. Why? Because Windows doesn’t allow you to see the key on the computers, and the only way to see it is to go to the router. No longer…WirelessKeyView, does what its name bluntly says. It lets you see your keys for the networks that you have saved on the computer. You can also delete keys from there that are old, or unused. Its a nice little utility to keep around for the day you might need it.

My poor desktop…while having an extremely large amount of hard drive space, is suffering from duplicate files. I’m pretty sure i have 2 copies of alot of music, quite a few redundant backups that are useless, and just in general, a lot of doubled up files. Double Killer will hunt down and remove those duplicate files for you. First off, its NOT just based on file name, because thatd be kinda stupid. It checks name, size, date, and checksums of your files to make sure they really *are* duplicate. And hey…its not like its erasing it from the face of the earth, you can set it to put the files in the recycle bin And of course, it excludes system files, because god knows whats in that whole group of stuff.
Best of all…its made by Big Bang Enterprises, and is free!
