You must have played NES or SEGA games on your pc at one time another. I remember when i used to spend many hours on my pc playing Nintendo 64 games or Gameboy Advance games. And now it is possible to play games for PS2 on pc using emulator called PCSX2. There is a limitation though as Playstation 2 has much better graphics compared to gameboy advance or NES, so your computer needs to be powerful to play games at proper speed with good graphics. Here is a rough indication of the recommended specifications:

  • Windows XP or Windows Vista
  • Core 2 Duo Processor 2 Ghz or better
  • 1GB RAM (2GB for vista)
  • 512MB Graphics Card (8600GT or better)

Download Google Chrome Browser

September 3rd, 2008

Google recently announced the releasing of the beta version of their browser called Google Chrome. Google Chrome is an open-source web browser based on Apple’s Webkit Engine. It has only been released for windows so far but google intends to release the mac and linux versions soon as well. I have personally not used chrome so far, but I intend to try it out for a couple of days to see how it is. This is the very first public beta release so there are bound to be bugs and security holes. Google has however made quite an effort to enhance the security of the browser. You can read more about Google Chromes features and security protection here and here. » Read more: Download Google Chrome Browser

Taskbar ShuffleJust a couple of days ago, I was working on the new theme for this blog as well as a couple of other sites of mine.

The various frequently used applications were at opposite ends of my taskbar and it really is frustrating to switch between them. I then realized the need for rearranging the windows in my taskbar. After searching in google, I came across a wonderful free app called Taskbar Shuffle via #0092FF Tech Blog(weird name, i know!). » Read more: Reorganize your Taskbar Buttons using Taskbar Shuffle
