Like the future? BananaScreen adds face recognition login to your webcam-enabled Windows computer. To use, just install BananaScreen and create a face model. Then set up BananaScreen to lock after a predefined amount of inactivity (or hit Alt-L to lock at any time).

Once locked, BananaScreen will keep an eye on faces coming and going in front of the camera. When it matches yours, it immediately unlocks your computer. Pretty Cool

Imagine a desktop where the backgrounds were based on the time of day and time of year. Imagine being able to listen to natural sounds such as birds singing, crickets chirping, or rain falling. Imagine having a mini-display on the desktop that showed animated day and night cycles, clouds, lightning, and more! That is what the Natural Desktop is.  It doesn't interfere with your work or your other desktop enhancements.

The sounds, which can be turned off if you wish, are a welcome treat for those who work inside all day. Morning doves singing in the morning to cicadas in the afternoon and crickets and owls at night all give a subtle and realistic simulation of what the outside might be like (or what you might wish it were like if you're wishing it was a pleasant spring afternoon instead of a dreary late Fall afternoon).

By now most of you should know that most of the pirated stuff (movies, music, apps, etc) comes from 'The Scene".Only a few get to be part of a scene group but once you get in, you'll know that it's a totally different world than you imagined it to be.

Scene notices are public (public to scene members that is) messages similar to .NFOs that scene members use to brag, flame, regroup, coordinate activities and make announcements. Most of the time, these are fun to read (and they do sometimes contain really hateful stuff towards P2P sites and users).

But how can you read them if you do not have access to a scene topsite or an IRC? There are of course pre channels and pre databases which you could easily monitor but you would have to dedicate your life for this task if you want to distinguish release announcements from notices. This is where SceneNotice.com comes in.

SceneNotice.com filters and posts notices from release announcements so that there is no need for you to go through huge lists to find one. The site also has categorized search.

Give it a try: Visit SceneNotice now.

It is a well known fact that the warez scene has beaten Microsoft many times when it comes to releasing MS software to the public. It seems that Microsoft has been beaten yet again; one such scene group have released a Service Pack 3 integrated version of Windows XP. The release by popular scene group Zero Waiting Time ISO (ZWTISO) comes just after SP3 was released to manufacturers so it can be assumed that the integrated service pack is the RTM version.

As with many scene releases, this is bound to leak to bittorrent sites across the world. In fact, a popular private tracker is now tracking a torrent of this just 20 minutes after the release was pre'd by ZWTISO.
