A tweak for Windows 7 has been making the rounds of the Internet. It's been labeled the Windows 7 "God Mode," but unlike "God Mode" in a game, it's not so godly after all.The tweak is enabled by creating a new folder and naming it with a certain text string at the end. The string is {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. The reason it's been named GodMode is because it first started circulating with the name GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. In reality, the part before .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} can be replace by any string. The folder icon that you see after renaming the folder will then appear to be a Control Panel.How does this work? Well, those who delve in the...

Good morning and happy Friday to all. Today starts off Memorial Day weekend here in the states. For starters that automatically means a three day weekend and a boatload of traffic on the highways. It also is a sign that summer is rapidly approaching. Traditionally this is a time of year where families get together, barbeque and enjoy some cold beverages. But most of all, we take the time to remember the men and women who served this great country by giving their lives in battle. Something we should never forget, especially today when we have troops doing their job in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Here's you news... Vantec Go 2.0 8in1 Card Reader Review...
