Maxthon Web Browser

I have been using Maxthon's web browser for years and have recommended it to anyone I know at all.I was introduced to this browser by a friend and though there have been bumps along the way, I have come to love Maxthon. Maxthon features include, a full range of different skins, tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, super drag and drop, Ad Hunter and a lot more. The one thing that has kept me using Maxthon and nothing else (Not even Mozilla's FireFox or Opera) is the super drag and drop function. You click and hold a link, drag it a few millimetres, release and viola! it opens the link on a new tab. Maxthon is also noticeably faster than IE though it seems to be slightly slower than Opera. Of course, like any other program, Maxthon has it's share of bugs and glitches tough nothing that can keep me from using it. You can download Mathon here.

Windows Vista's Aero Flip3D vs. Otaku Software's TopDesk Flip3D

Trying to emulate Vista even more, I have downloaded and installed Otaku Software's "TopDesk" that has a function just like Windows Aero's Flip3D that comes with Vista. For some reason, I prefer Vista's Flip3D's looks to the one made by Otaku Software. Here are two screenshots; first from Windows Aero's Flip3D and second from Otaku Software's TopDesk Flip3D.

Vista Transformation Pack

We all know (Well, at least we who have seen how Windows Vista look like.) that Windows Vista looks great. We also know that we want it too. For those of you who cannot afford a whole new computer and Windows Vista itself, the solution is the "Vista Transformation Pack" for Windows XP SP2. The "Vista Transformation Pack" is a program that replaces a lot of Windows XP system files to make the User Interface look like Windows Vista. It looks great and doesn't lag the computer at all. It doesn't require any thing but VTP 6.0 and the Aero Windows Theme to run. Here are some screenshots of this amazing program. First three are taken from http://www.windowsxlive.net and the next three are taken by me.

The VTP creates a sidebar that is very useful and also very user friendly.

Lacus Clyne & Stellar Loussier Gashapon Figures

Saber Figurine Preview

I have just purchased a resin 1/6 Saber Figurine (From Fate/Stay Night [aka Fate/Hollow Ataraxia]) which will arrive in about a week or two. This is a preview of it. I will post up pictures when I get mine.. =D The figure comes with its own stand and two little figurines for her to hold. One of which is a penguin shaped Kakigori (An ice dessert shaver) and the other, a Mini-Saber figure.
