It is very frustrating when you want a screenshot of a webpage but becouse page is bigger then your screen you can not use Print Screen Key from keyboard.

If you had this problem and did not find a solution try WebShot. It is a 52 Kb application witch will capture any webpage and save it as a JPG, GIF, PNG or BMP.

You can download Webshot for free from : http://www.nathanm.com/projects/webshot.zip

Today I needed Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 for a project. After Install I had observed that my network connection disconnect without any reason and VPN client I use (SonicWall) couldn’ t connect anymore. After some research I found that Adobe install Bonjour service from Apple (usualy you need this for iTunes if you have iPod). And another strange service:

##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##

witch i didnt found any information about it.

Bonjour Service is a 0 config tool. Becouse I didnt see any use of this service I uninstalled (there is no uninstaller) using this steps:

• Start->Run and type :   C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe – remove
• Start->Run and type:   regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mdnsNSP.dll

After this everythink work as it should.

If you have iTunes for uploading music on your iPod do not uninstall Bonjour service.

Windows 7 is free until March 2010. Sound great?

Microsoft want his new OS to be the best and after free BETA version download ended with great results a Release Candidate version of Windows 7 is availble to download until March 2010. After that a computer with Win7 RC will restart after 2 hours of activity.

What you need to know?

• there is not limit of the number of product keys
• is not recomended to be installed on a computer for real work becouse Win7 RC is not the final version and can have hidden bugs.

Now Win7 RC is free but there is a catch, you need to test your copy for them.

How do you test the software? You put it on your PC, and then do what you’d normally do. Your PC will automatically and anonymously send our engineers the information they need to verify the fixes and changes they made based on the Windows 7 Beta tests.

So if you do not like to be spyed dont install Win7 RC. Of course they get just tehnical data, errors and stuff not web pages you access, porn movies you watch and other stuff.

For try Win7 you need to have al least this configuration:

• Internet access (to download Windows 7 RC and get updates)

• A PC with these system requirements:

  • 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 GB RAM (32-bit) / 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16 GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20 GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
