Hahaha, this thing looks awesome!! I wish I have myself one of these bad boys! Check it out, this guy went and built himself a Batmobile from the movies... and what's even cooler, he did it without any specs or blueprints, just from images from the movie. TIGHT!!

Of course, there are no weapons installed, but imagine the possibilities...

I really, really want one. I think it's so cool!

Microsoft's Advice to Get Vista Running Faster

Link: LifeHacker - Vista Tip: Microsoft's Advice on How to Speed Up Vista

There is so many talks about the performance of Vista. Many are saying that it is the worst operating system there is. Others are complaining about the stability and system performance. Well, Microsoft is pushing to make Vista look better in the Consumer's eye. It has had many ads that promote the operating system.

On Microsoft's own website, it published a PDF document on way to optimize the performance of Vista. These tips include tweaking the power settings, folder options, and visual effects.

Maybe, instead of having the user tweak the operating system to have it perform better, Microsoft should incorporate it into the system itself. I'm not saying that Vista is bad, I'm just saying that it could be better, and having a 14-page PDF document from Microsoft showing you how to make it perform better just proves it.
