Vista's Snipping Tool

While the old 'Print Screen' still works in Vista to capture the entire screen to your clipboard, you then need to paste that image into a program like paint in order to copy the part you want and save it to disk or in a document. Vista's new Snipping Tool simplifies this task.

Available under the Start menu's Programs/Accessories (or simply type Snipping, or Snipping Tool in the search box), Snipping Tool allows you to capture the entire screen, the active window, a rectangle, or even a 'freestyle' selection. Once captured, you can save the file to disk as HTML, JPG, GIF, or PNG. If you have the mail program setup, you can also e-mail the file.

This tool is great. If you have ever used the downloadable free utility Zapgrab it's very similar, but you don't need to paste you copy into paint or another program in order to use the screen-shot. It already does this for you! To be honest it's a simple utility and there's not a whole lot more to it. Just mess with it and you'll see how easy it is to use. You can also use Free-From to draw with a pen the area you want to snip. I've been waiting for a tool like this for a long time! Enjoy!

Dexter on Showtime!

This is quite possibly the best show I've ever seen on TV. If you haven't seen this show you need to! Dexter works forensics in Miami as a blood spatter expert, but has a yearning to kill. The twist? You actually like the guy, but he's a serial killer. The reason you pull for him is because he only kills those that deserve killing. He is a serial killer of serial killers. Even his girlfriend, co-workers, and sister have absolutely no idea what he actually does. I know it sounds a little disturbing, but it's very well put together, not as gory as you would think and the plot twist are absolutely fantastic. The writers should be commended. I swear this is the best series I've ever watched. Every time one ends I can't wait for the next one!

Set your DVR! Here are some Dexter links:

Don't Expect Geforce 8800 Drivers for Vista Anytime Soon!


Quote:
"We recognize that many GeForce 8800 customers are eager to use their new hardware with Windows Vista. We've received numerous questions from users, and we've seen your comments and complaints on the forums.

Due to rigorous testing requirements to ensure stability and optimal performance, Vista drivers for GeForce 8800 are still in QA. Our driver team and test labs must ensure compatibility across multiple platforms and hundreds of applications, a process that takes several weeks to complete. Please keep in mind that Windows Vista will not be available to end-users until the end of January. We'd like to assure you that Vista drivers for the GeForce 8800 will be available to download when Vista ships to end users at the end of January.

Thank you."


Granted Vista hasn't officially launched yet, but this is not good news for those that already have an 8800 and have aquired a copy of Vista early for testing, or by other means. With the Vista Business release obviously coming before the release of the Geforce 8800 drivers there are going to be alot of people upset at this news. If you were planning on buying a Geforce 8 series card to run with Vista it sounds like your best bet is to wait until the beginning of the year!
