Looking for new desktop wallpaper? This may be your one-stop shop
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under ZOMG
Social Wallpapering is a website which features an amazing variety of wallpaper for your desktop. And it’s free! It also separates them based on the shape of your monitor (widescreen vs. standard) and even has a dual screen page as well. One thing I find really helpful is whenever you mouse over an image it tells you the size in both pixels and megabytes. I like pictures that tend to be smaller in terms of megabytes, but still look great (which allows for faster boot times) so this really helps me out. Anyway, don’t let me hold you back any longer, check it out for yourself!

Edison Makes Your PC Go Green [Windows Software]
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under ZOMG
Free system tray application Edison helps save energy and money by tweaking your PC’s power settings on a schedule. Edison allows you to set different energy preferences for work and non-work time, then choose the times you want each profile to run. The power settings determine how long your PC should wait before turning off the display, powering down your hard drive, and suspending your computer. After you set your preferences, Edison also estimates your yearly savings in terms of money, energy, and CO2 emissions. Edison is freeware, requires .NET 2.0 and an email address for registration. If Edison’s whopping 45MB memory footprint is too high for your tastes, check out LocalCooling. For more green PC tips, try Lifehacker’s best tips for going green with your PC.
