Yahoo! Pipes
Yahoo just launched a new doo-hickey called Pipes. It enables non-programmers to create logic flows using a visual interface. Want to make your own customized eBay price watcher? How about an apartment finder? Snazzy stuff.
Windows Vista Not Ready for Photographers
Apparently Windows Vista’s tagging system will destroy a photo’s metadata. That’s a pretty big deal, especially if you’re like me and have 150 to 160 GB of photos all meticulously tagged with tons of metadata for sorting and finding.

750 GB NAS w/Built-In BitTorrent Client
What better way to tattoo “Sue me, RIAA!” on your forehead than to get this torrenting beast?
