Windows 7 has a “God Mode”
Did you know Windows 7 has a God mode?
It sounds cooler than it is in reality – you’re not invulnerable to BSODs, and the system doesn’t play One of Us when it starts up.
That said, it’s not completely useless either – it gives you a shortcut to all the options in Control Panel and allows you to easily get to usually buried controls.
To enable God Mode, you must first grow a big white beard. Then:
Create a new folder, and call it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
The folder will then change into a shortcut with the Control Panel icon. Double click it, and you’ll get a huge list of easily accessible tweakable options.
On computers running 64-bit Windows 7, God mode reveals 270 options. God Mode also works on Vista, but apparently only the 32-bit version – it will crash the 64-bit one.

I do an awful lot of Mac-hating here on my blog, and usually for good reason. I usually have mixed things to say about Apple products, and I do love my iPod touch, and I do want an iPad 3G, but as far as their actual computers go, I don’t usually have anything nice to More >
"iPad virus" masquerades as iTunes update

Steve Jobs, where are you!? A nefarious virus has targeted users of your magical, shiny and overpriced Apple iPads.

How To Hack Into Windows

I’m not particularly familiar with this method or if it still works. Can anyone verify if this is real? Looks like Windows 98 or 2000 if I am right, but could possibly be a newer version than that.
