from SuprNova Greetings everybody, As you have probably noticed, we have often had downtimes. This was because it was so hard to keep this site up! But now we are sorry to inform you all, that SuprNova is closing down for good in the way that we all know it.

Thank you all that helped us, by donating mirrors or something else, by uploading and seeding files, by helping people out on IRC and on forum, by...

I found this article on InsideGoogle . It’s an interesting review of Google Desktop Search, MSN Desktop Suite, and Ask Jeeves Desktop Search. Looks like Jeeves doesn’t work that well… He compares them, and gives us some stunning results, eg: Jeeves found 12,920 files, MSN found 13,275, and Google found 3,126 (not including things like email and AIM, which the others didn’t index).

Well over the last year or so, Apple has certainly made an impact on the market. With its very interesting iPod being the highest selling MP3 player and all!

I downloaded it not knowing what I would get, because I couldn’t find a screenshot, and tried it out.

Well, it’s only a week or so to Christmas and I found some cool stuff I wanted to share: People who like skinning their desktops (or want to try it) should have a look at this: Stardock is giving away a free Holiday Desktop Suite. screenshot: Although not really my style (I do like the Start button and menu) some might like it. I also found this well animated and funny flash animation at DeviantART. That’s about all (I did find some more ‘free’ stuff, but it was filled with ad- and spyware) DarthTibault
