scannedphone_sm.jpgWhen you're selling a small item online and you need a plain, closeup photo, blogger Mason says you can avoid flash washout or screen reflections using a flatbed scanner instead of a digital camera:
Cell phones, mp3 players, discs, pretty much anything with a basic dimension can be scanned on your flatbed scanner.... To the right is a sample of a phone that was scanned. Not bad eh? What the.....is that me in my tighty whiteys reflected in the screen!?!? Oh nope, wait, it was done using my flatbed scanner. Seems like a good way to get a blank background in a photo with no setup. How do you get good photos of the stuff you're selling online? Let us know in the comments.

outlooktoday_cropped.jpgYour plain vanilla "Outlook Today" screen could be doing a whole lot more for you, especially if you aren't afraid of a little HTML or can get handy with a free page creator. Even if hand-coding's not your thing, the Tech-Recipes blog offers the big blocks of dense code that let you put your inbox, calendar, tasks, and whatever else anywhere you want on a page, leaving room for other stuff you might find useful. Feel free to mess around to your heart's content, because it's also un-doable with less than two clicks.

twitterverse.pngAn adventurous Flickr user dug up a file in Leopard's example developer documents called Twitterverse, a screensaver that displays your Twitter world in a circle of thumbnailed activity. To use Twitterverse, find the file (a quick Spotlight search for Twitterverse should do the trick), open your Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane, and then simply drag the Twitterverse.qtz file into the preview window of the Screen Saver preference pane. To get it downloading your friends' tweets, click the Options button, enter your username and password, and try it out. I had trouble seeing results (just a blank screen), but if you have more luck, the screensaver is eye-tastic!

sysinternals-live.pngIf you've ever done any serious Windows troubleshooting, you've no doubt come across a freeware utility or two by Sysinternals—like the excellent, previously mentioned Process Explorer. You may also know that Microsoft eventually bought up every Sysinternals utility and bundled it into a single suite of apps. Now Sysinternals has launched a new way to access their library of must-have utilities quickly and easily from any internet-connected PC.

progress.pngNext time you're burning a DVD, downloading a large file, or extracting a multi-gigabyte file and don't want to sit at your computer staring at the progress meter, use your Mac's built-in screen zoom feature to keep your progress bar visible from across the room. As we've shown you before, you can quickly zoom in on any section of your monitor by holding the Ctrl key and then using your mouse's scrollwheel. Now just zoom in on your progress bar and walk away—you should still be able to track your progress from well into the next room like I did this weekend while burning a DVD. Handy. There's no reason why you can't do the same thing in Windows, but as far as I know there's no similar built-in shortcut. If you've got a Wind read more »
