Windows 7 has a “God Mode”
Feb 20th
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.

How To Hack Into Windows
Jan 4th
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.
Mac vs. PC
Nov 7th
Am I the only one getting annoyed by all these Mac ads lately?
I’m not annoyed because I am a Windows user. I’m not annoyed because I am an “anything” user. I’m annoyed because they are very misrepresenting.
Allow me to explain before you get all pissy with me…
The first point I want to make is about Apple’s claim that Macs are more secure. This is a FALSE STATEMENT!
The simple truth is, viruses are written for a target operating system because it is popular. Yes, most of these are targeted at Windows. But if the entire world were to switch en masse to Apple computers, who do you think hackers would target? Ding! It’s like putting a bullseye on yourself. Hack me, I dare you.
Simply switching to a Mac does not protect you. It is your responsibility, as the user, to not be a fucking retard.
Use antivirus software. Update it. Scan downloads. Don’t execute questionable content. DON’T USE INTERNET EXPLORER!
Seriously people, it’s almost 2010 and you haven’t learned yet?
Viruses spread by people being ignorant.
Most of them require some kind of user interaction to propagate.
Don’t be a noob.
A second point to make is that Macs are very expensive, in most cases, prohibitively so.
Macs with respectable specifications can cost 5+ times the cost of a PC with comparable specs, and the PC usually ends up being even cheaper than that if you custom build it from your own parts.
Good luck even trying to do that with a Mac.
Want to upgrade your hardware?
If you’ve got a Mac, it ain’t happening, at least not for a reasonable price. Hardly any of the hardware you can go out to your local computer shop or electronics store will work on it. And if it does work, you better believe you will have one hell of a headache making it work.
Macs claim to be more user-friendly, while also substantiating the claim that Windows 7 PC’s are complex and expensive. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
A Windows user will have a pretty hard time making the switch to a Mac. I know because I have tried. I used to say that the only thing Apple had going for them was a much prettier interface, but with the release of Windows Vista and 7, that gap is being quickly narrowed.
Windows now makes much better use of resources, and supports more hardware than ever thought before.
Like Gaming? Not likely to happen with your Mac, seeing as how most computer games are made for Windows. Even if you do have the rare game that will work on a Mac, you’re still in for a rough time. Take a look at the system requirements for each OS.
The Mac requirements for hardware are almost always DOUBLE the requirements over Windows. This is the drawback to the pretty OS that Apple provided you. Your OS uses ALL your resources. Which is fine if all you intend on doing is looking at your desktop, but some of us actually use our computers for work, or the internet, or gaming even. When we do, we like to have that hardware available to us.
Do you really want to spend 5 times as much to get less?
Be realistic. All that nonconformist talk goes out the window as soon as you can’t run the software or hardware you really need.
Anything that is on a Mac can work on Windows. The Windows stuff will NOT work on a Mac. Make the right choice.
