Video : Data Waste and Government Control of the Internet
Posted by: David
The video discusses my thoughts on data waste. Basically duplicate data being transmitted and stored in locations more than once. I also cover my thoughts on how this can and probably will lead into a centralized government database for personal information. The video is fairly generalized and may be hard to understand if you aren't familiar with some IT concepts, however you will understand the idea I am portraying without it.

Windows 7 Awesome Tip : Preview Pane
Posted by: David
Enable your preview pane
With Windows 7, you probably aren't used to all of the changes. Perhaps one of the best things you can find in Windows 7 would be the preview pane.
While you are in the file explorer going through your long list of files whether it be images, code, word docs, or even videos hit ALT+P on your keyboard. Now, next to your list of files or icons for files you can see a preview of the file you have selected in the file explorer.
Not all file types will allow you to see a preview, but the video preview will even allow you to watch the video in the preview pane.

Just some notes:
- It is very similar to this in Windows 7 and Vista if you have them.
- I think the video's will be a good idea in the long run.
- I will be posting Windows 7 stuff soon. I am working on making a Windows 7 installation video with a VM. Once that video is done, I can move on to using that VM to make other videos.

Now, I understand this is very simple and may not be going to draw many hits to the site, but it is important for me to test my video making processes. Everything went fine, so I think I will make more in the future. Probably dealing with Spiceworks in a Windows XP VM.
Best Firefox add on that you must have!
Posted by: David
What is the best add on for Firefox?
The best add on for Firefox in the Kingpin's opinion is the Thumbnail expander.
What does it do?
This add on takes any thumbnail image and loads it in the background while you are hovering your mouse over it. Once the image has loaded, it will display above the thumbnail you are previewing. The best example of what it does is on the add on's site itself.
Here are two of the preview pictures.
The add on also embeds video when you click on links. It would be harder for me to explain this so I will just show you below what it does when you click on a video on youtube.com.
If you notice, when you click on one of the videos it will embed it into that page. If you want to go on to the video just click the video, if you want to get rid of the video you can hid the button just above the video to hide it.
How can you get it?
Go to this LINK and hit Add to Firefox.
