Windows 7: something is missing

In Vista and Seven some utilities are missing.
Remember that you could change file types icons, set open options or simply un-associate file types?
Obviously on Windows Vista and Seven you can't do this without digging on the system registry.
So the only solution is download and use some 3rd-party programs.

Unassoc:
With this tool you can remove the file types you desire.
[Download]

You can also use the "assoc" command in DOS, like:
assoc .txt=   (to delete the txt file association)

Types:
With this tool you can edit file types (icon, behavior, etc...)
[Download]


Useful.
I don't know why Microsoft decided to remove these options, but I don't like that there aren't some tools/utilities out-of-the-box.

Smartphones in the 1991

In the mind of some guy...

In 1991 there were technologies to make this device?
I don't think so.
But looking at the old patents always has its charms.

The Thing... from 2002 #1

Few days ago I saw "The Thing", the movie dated 2012, and it's not bad, but... there isn't the charm of "The Thing" (1982 Carpenter's The Thing).
I should remember you that the 1982 version of The Thing directed by Carpenter is a remake of "The Thing from another world" (1951) based on a novella by Campbell.

So... I know that there is a game based on the movie (1982 movie) and dated 2002.

So... I have it now. And I'm playing it!

More screens, etc... when I'll end it.

Dead Space is dead

I installed Dead Space after 2/3 years because I never ended this game and some days ago a voice in my head said "play and finish it".
My last savegames put me after the infirmary... ok!
I love this game: there is no Hud, good action moments, good plot, good management of lights/shadows.

After the end of the game I restart it with the Level 6 suite... so much fun!

So... it's screenshots time! (They start from my last old savegame)

Screenshots are a large number so click the title or the following link to see the full post... (if you never played the game... spoilers inside)

I spent hours in this website. :-)

Instagram on Android

Instagram on Android produces a big rage/butthurt on Iphone users.

I don't know why... 

But I lol'd.

PS: Android has tons of cam apps, like PixLX
