Now this is something a bit out of the ordinary on this blog, but it does sound interesting 🙂
This service offers to create the contact so you can rent a home or maybe just an apartment at some private person’s home just about anywhere in the world.
What a cool idea for the next summer vacation, this way you will get REALLY close to the native culture, or maybe one should even rent out the spare room in the basement 🙂 Cool..

Having problems remembering those damn passwords?
Well there are tons of password managers out there, so how is this one different? Well it is cloud based and that gives you the advantage that your passwords are also stored in the cloud (encrypted of cause), so if you need them on a different machine or you reinstall – yep you guessed your passwords are still there.
Features like browser integration etc. is still there so that is pretty regular.
I have not yet tried this, but it sounds neat.
Two good alternatives (not cloud based) are;

So you have a notebook and want to install Windows 7, how the f… do you do that you think – there is nowhere to insert that damn DVD?!?!
Well why not install via a USB pen?
So grab your USB pen and visit here; http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool
A few things you will need though, 1 USB pen (aprox 5 gb) and to convert your DVD to an ISO file (the latter is rather simple, there are numerous utils that can do this – google it).
An alternative to this is; http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ (should be able to grab the data from the CD/DVD and should work with other versions of Windows as well).
I have not yet tried any of these, but gotten them recommended.
