Very similar to gleeBox but I don't understand why the developer chose vim's complex keyboard model. - sameer

The easiest way to get apps. Pick the apps you want. Start your customized installer. You're done! Ninite works in the background 100% hands-free. We install apps with default settings and say "no" to browser toolbars and other junk. All we do is install the apps you choose. Not even Ninite is installed. - sameer

Doesn't seem to match the Windows 7 theme of "less clutter", but oh well :) - sameer

I wish they don't go for these mocks. I don't want all those icons under the tweets. - sameer

Check Aviary out. They have some of the most impressive web-apps out there. - sameer

Over the last three years, we built an experimentation platform system (ExP) at Microsoft, capable of running and analyzing controlled experiments on web sites and services. The goal is to accelerate innovation through trustworthy experimentation and to enable a more scientific approach to planning and prioritization of features and designs (Foley, 2008). Along the way, we ran many experiments on over a dozen Microsoft properties and had to tackle both technical and cultural challenges. We previously surveyed the literature on controlled experiments and shared technical challenges (Kohavi, et al., 2009). This paper focuses on problems not commonly addressed in technical papers: cultural challenges, lessons, and the ROI of running controlled experiments. - sameer

I've always wanted this. Very Cool! - sameer

We're happy to introduce the Geek's Guide to Seattle, a virtual tour of many of the region's most interesting tech locations -- ranging from the former rental house where Jeff Bezos started Amazon to an extremely cool, little-known communications technology museum south of the city. We've compiled 21 locations, including some well-known sites but also many hidden gems discovered in the process of our reporting. - sameer

I'f you're switching from OS X, you want this: 'WizMouse is a mouse enhancement utility that makes your mouse wheel work on the window currently under the mouse pointer, instead of the currently focused window. This means you no longer have to click on a window before being able to scroll it with the mouse wheel. This is a far more comfortable and practical way to make use of the mouse wheel. WizMouse can also optionally enable the mouse wheel in applications that don't support it. It does this by translating mouse wheel commands into scroll bar commands that all applications can understand and process.' - sameer

Welcome to the Atlas Obscura, a compendium of this age's wonders, curiosities, and esoterica. The Atlas Obscura is a collaborative project with the goal of cataloging all of the singular, eccentric, bizarre, fantastical, and strange out-of-the-way places that get left out of traditional travel guidebooks and are ignored by the average tourist. If you're looking for miniature cities, glass flowers, books bound in human skin, gigantic flaming holes in the ground, phallological museums, bone churches, balancing pagodas, or homes built entirely out of paper, the Atlas Obscura is where you'll find them. - sameer

Quote: These pages show 8 different sorting algorithms on 4 different initial conditions. These visualizations are intended to: Show how each algorithm operates. Show that there is no best sorting algorithm. Show the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm. Show that worse-case asymptotic behavior is not the deciding factor in choosing an algorithm. Show that the initial condition (input order and key distribution) affects performance as much as the algorithm choice. - sameer

Quote: There are many applications that can help you work faster and efficiently. Though, not many applications come cheap. For this post we tried to digg deep to find the best selection of free and/or open source Mac applications that will help you be a more efficient designer. We’re covering from application launchers, GTD (Getting Things Done) to design utilities that can help you focus on what’s important: create. - sameer
