Themes for Windows often requires different types of heavy and resource demanding 3rd party software, e.g. like ThemeXP and others. In this post I have collected the most popular themes that do not require additional 3rd party software, but just works out of the box. Don’t bother on trying them with Vista or XP because they just wont work.

Apple Safari Browser on Windows

What is Safari? It is a browser. It is a platform. It is an open invitation to innovation. Safari expands the boundaries of the Internet and gives you also a world-class user experience.

It is now possible to download and install Apple’s Safari Web browser on your Windows platform. Note that the client is in beta and therefore probably, but it works flawless on most machines.

Apple Safari can be downloaded from here.

Password Manager – based on gnupg

I’d been looking for a top nut secure password storage, which featured an easy and user-friendly interface and incorporated support for many users without the users should be equipped with the same shared password – which in general is bad and hard to maintain in almost any organization.

I almost gave up searching and even considered writing something myself based on gnupg (wikipedia article on gnupg), but then I came across Console Password Manager (CPM). In my search I also came across KeePass Password Safe, KeePassX, and even Password Safe. The password managers I have been looking on are all characterized by using a single shared password for encryption and decryption of the password storage, except from Console Password Manager (CPM), which uses private public keys instead of shared symmetric keys.

Console Password Manger (CPM) is written by Harry Brueckner and incorporates a number of great features; it’s console-based – some will argue that console application aren’t userfriendly – but think again – it really is more friendly to access through a slow remote connection, security is well-considered in it’s design, and finally it relies on the GPG keys for encryption, which is wide-used and already incorporated in many other systems – mail clients, mailing in general and for signing software, just to mentioning a number of places, moreover it seems to be well-maintained.

Console Password Manger (CPM) website.

This is a four step guide to get Apple’s Safari browser running on Linux.

  1. Run winecfg, set Windows version to WinXP
  2. Copy the core windows fonts: cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/{Arial,Times_New_Roman}*.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
  3. Download Safari for Windows from the Apple homepage
  4. Run the Safari installer with Wine. Do not install Bonjour or the Apple updater
  5. Run Safari

Remind that the msttcorefonts is required ;)

Thanks to Erich Schubert for providing the guide

Engadget reviews the iPhone

We’ve gone into serious detail here: After years of rumor and speculation, last January that device was finally announced at Macworld 2007 — and here we are, just over six months later — the iPhone, perhaps the most hyped consumer electronics device ever created, is finally here. And this is the only review of it you’re going to need.
