TrayKiller is a simple MS Windows application that let's you configure groups of programs to start and stop by toggling an icon in the system tray. Useful for quickly killing a large collection of background processes before
you do processor intensive operations, like burn cds or capture video, and
then restarting them when you are done.

How Operating Systems Work. The operating system defines our computing
experience. It's the first software we see when we turn on the computer, and
the last software we see when the computer is turned off. It's the software
that enables all the programs we use. The operating system organizes and
controls the hardware on our desks and in our hands, yet most users can't
say with any certainty precisely what it is that the operating system does.

Delivery Guaranteed. What's in a name? For advertisers, the answer is:
everything. As we've seen over the past few years, dot-coms can go belly-up
buying ads to raise brand awareness. Despite the perils, this trend will
continue for some time, and we'll see more and more money spent on wacky
offline ad campaigns. Only when enough companies fail to secure venture
capital or realize this approach isn't working will the real future evolve:
direct marketing.
