A 56 MB update for 5 adding just 5 words (KB955020)
Here is another funny act from the Redmond Giant, Microsoft. It came with a update for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (KB955020) on July 7th that adds 5 new words "Friendster," "Klum," "Nazr," "Obama," and "Racicot" to the dictionary. However the size of the update file is 56.4 MB and update wizard shows it as a 'important' update. The reason behind this big filesize is that the user is actually getting his whle dictionary replaced instead of patching it to add the 5 words. The knowledge base article is here and the download page is here

Easter Eggs - Picasa Teddy , uTorrent Tetris
Recently I came to know about a few Easter eggs hidden in our favorite day-to-day applications. I like to post a couple of them here. This post covers the hidden easter eggs in Picasa2 and Utorrent.
I think most of you use Picasa 2 as your photo editing and management tool.
If you don't ,grab it here I assure you that its the best photo management software around.
Open Picasa2 and Press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Y . A cute teddy 'Thomas' appears over your Picasa window .
You can press the keys again to spawn as many 'Thomases' as you like. Hope you like the Picasa Easter Egg Teddy 'Thomas'.
Utorrent is the light-weight and feature packed BitTorrent client. Besides its great Bittorrent features, it also sports a Tetris game . Goto Help-->About uTorrent . Type the letter 't' .
Now you can play a nice game of uTorrent tetris, while downloading large files (if haven't got any better things to do :D

Copy To - option in Context Menu (right-click menu)
Did you ever wished that Windows XP had a "Copy To" option its in context menu ?
Well, Windows XP has such a feature, but unfortunately they haven't added it to the context menu. To add this handy feature in your context-menu now, just add this code to windows registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"
If you are unsure on how to add this to your registry, just copy this code, paste it in a notepad and save it as "somefilename.reg".
Then double click the file to add the values to the registry. Now right - click on a file or folder to witness the new feature.
For complete newbies , I have added a "copyto.reg" file. Download it and double click the file.
This is what you'll find after completing the tweak:
