Windows XP SP2 Tech Preview Yes, it's beta, but the Windows XP SP2 Technical Preview is pretty cool. It adds a pop-up blocker to IE and it adds a 'Security Center'. You can read more about it in Scot Finnie's latest newsletter. You can download the 237 MB BETA Service Pack using this link. NOTE: This is a BETA patch and should only be run on your test machines. In other words, if you install this patch - your PC may not boot. My results have been positive, but caution is in order.

LightScribe "Looking for a way to label your multitude of CDs and DVDs neatly and efficiently? HP has come up with an elegant answer: Use the same laser that already burned the data to make a label on the flip side of the disc. A technology dubbed LightScribe enables drives to burn a silk screen-like, high-contrast label on the upper side of CD or DVD media bearing a special coating. After completing a data burn, users will be prompted to flip the disc over to burn a label onto the other side."
