This awesome little application will walk you through creating windows install CDs that you can tune in hundreds of ways. It makes slipstreaming SPs a piece of cake. You can also preload drivers for targets installs. Making unattended install discs is simple. I've found it quite useful for trimming out all of the $#!+ that you really don't need making for an install of XP that really screams.

Developer / Debug Tool for Internet Explorer. This doesn't work for IE8. Internet Explorer 8 includes its own developer tool though.

Joshua and others have requested this in the past. I'm throwing it here in Diigo so others can benefit as well. It isn't Firebug by a longshot, but it is much better than nothing at all. I prefer to use this over Microsoft Script Debugger when debugging in IE. As noted though, it doesn't work with IE8. IE does however include its own developer tools. -- Matthew

A computer science professor at an Australian University is doing something revolutionary with YouTube - he's offering students who can't attend his classes college credit for watching his videos. Richard Buckland, a senior lecturer at the University of NSW in Sydney, Australia, was frustrated that high school students with a passion for computing and capable of studying at the college level were not able to make the commute to the university fit into their school day. Buckland then decided to turn YouTube into a remote classroom where the students could attend lectures virtually and then complete coursework just as his other students do.

the concept behind Google Wave is to "unify" communication on the web. It's a hybrid of email, web chat, IM, and project management software. It features the ability to replay conversations because it records the entire sequence of communication, character by character. Because of this, discussions are also live in Google Wave: you will see your friends type character-by-character. The features don't stop there, either. Google Wave also supports the ability to drag attachments from your desktop into Google Wave. It loads that file and sends it immediately to anyone in the conversation. It's also embeddable, so you can embed Google Wave conversations on any blog.
