HyperDock Brings Windows 7 Features To The Mac OS. This lightweight app is packed with lots of great features that will change the way you use your dock, making you more productive. It adds a few small but essential features to the Mac OS, making switching between programs faster and more intuitive. A lot of these features are in fact already available in Windows 7, namely through Aero Effects, and HyperDock brings them to the Mac OS in a sleek and elegant manner. Upon installing HyperDock, you will be prompted to enable access for assistive devices, if you don’t have it enabled already. This is found under Universal Access in your system preferences, but when you first install and launch it, HyperDock will take you straight to the window. You are then ready to start customising HyperDock to suit your personal preferences. When hovering over the dock icon, you will see a small preview pane showing what can be seen in that program without pulling up the screen.
The preview feature is further customisable. Have you installed HyperDock? America's Middle Class is dying and the stats prove it | New, Next, Now! The American middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer here at a historically unprecedented rate. Once the United States had the largest and most prosperous middle class in the history of the world, but that's ending at a blinding pace. The new 'global economy' means that middle class American workers have to directly compete for jobs with people on the other side of the world where there is no minimum wage and practically no regulations. If the socialism the Tea Party is shouting about means anything in the U.S. anymore it refers to the golden circle of the super rich, who are profiting at unheard of rates whilst the rest of this nation suffers.
U.S. Corporations have grown massively rich exploiting third world labor pools, but middle class American workers have increasingly lost out. Here are the statistics to prove it: • 83 % of all U.S. stocks are now in the hands of 1% of the people. Anyone else drop their ipod in water. 5 Great Resources To Learn How To Code.

Health | Einstein and Newton 'had autism' Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton may have suffered from a type of autism, according to experts. Researchers at Cambridge and Oxford universities believe both scientists displayed signs of Asperger's Syndrome. Many people with Asperger's are often regarded as being eccentric. They sometimes lack social skills, are obsessed with complex topics and can have problems communicating. This latest research suggests that Einstein, who is credited with developing the theory of relativity, and Newton, who discovered the laws of gravity, had these traits to varying degrees.
According to the researchers, Einstein showed signs of Asperger's from a young age. As a child, he was a loner and often repeated sentences obsessively until he was seven years old. Later in life, the German-born scientist made intimate friends, had numerous affairs and spoke out on political issues. 'Passionate' However, the researchers insist that he continued to show signs of having Asperger's. 'Socially inept'

MailDrop Dropbox Copy Plugin Akira. MeeGo OS – A (Faster) Alternative to Windows on Your Netbook. Netbooks are capable of running regular operating systems, but I’ve recommended time and time again that users find an alternative netbook OS to get the most they can out of their systems. To that end, I reviewed Moblin in November. I was impressed, but stated it’s not quite ready for prime time. More recently I wrote about four netbook operating systems worth checking out, and mentioned that Moblin had merged with Maemo and been rebranded “MeeGo.”
Well, MeeGo 1.0 is now available for download, and while the merger has slowed development a little, I must say I’m impressed with this operating system (although I’m still not sure it’s ready for prime time.) First Impression Boot up MeeGo and you’ll be impressed with the boot time, a very similar experience to Moblin.
