Hey Guys,
Today Activision released a little teaser on the Map Pack coming April 3rd. The Map Pack will take four offline games and allow you to play them online. Call of Duty 4 is amazing online, so fast paced and just out-of-this-world gameplay! I am looking forward to this as the maps looks awesome! I am guessing that it wont be available to Xbox 360 users unless they get an update, Ryan might know more?
Anyway, heres the video preview of the new maps online:

Hey Guys,
One of the Authors of WizzHack told me about a program that allows you to open applications extremely fast. Its called Launchy - pretty basic name. Its exactly how he described it, open applications/files and websites extremely fast.
Once you have downloaded the file and installed it will work in the background seamlessly. All you need to do is push Alt and Spacebar and it will pop up with a nice little search box, you start typing immediately and it will look for the website/program as you type. Now the speed of the program may vary between system, but should be pretty fast on most.
If you want to configure Launchy then all you need to do is press the cog at the top right of the search box. This will bring up a options screen that allows you to pretty much customise all aspects of the program. You can get different themes and download extra plugins which can make it even more powerful. The default theme (image above) is pretty nice.
Click image to increase size.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants access to their applications in a simple and fast way!
Heres the video:

Hey, well it’s finally time for my second weekend tutorial! This week I will be telling you how to run an operating system over your current windows operating system! Last week I showed you how to run Linux from a USB flash drive in a similar way, but this time you will be running it without a flash drive!
Why would you want to do this? Because you can easily set up an operating system without removing your current system or setting up a partition! If you are like me and run on windows vista then you may need to run older versions of windows so you can successfully run programs and alike without any damage to your pc!

Hey all…
I’m Blackwatch and a new author here… Many of you will know me already from the wizzhack forums. I have followed the wizzhack blog for quite a while now and just asked my friend wizzkid about becoming an author.
I’m 14 years old and live in a town called Inverurie in the north-east of Scotland. Not a lot to do here so you will normally find me sitting at the computer. I have two computers… both are quite good (just a bit over average).
I like to play America’s Army and I am on the version 2.6. My username is [SES]_Blackwatch and I am in the same clan as Wizzkid.
I hope to be a good author and be around for a whil. ^_^

Hey Guys,
Well, its about time I did a “Vista Review”, I’m not going to go into great detail, but I will just talk about things I like, or dislike…a lot of people on the internet say that Microsoft Vista is rubbish, not worth the money, buggy and slow, well some of that is true!
I have Vista for a few weeks now, Ultimate Edition 64bit, which is awesome apart from the driver and program issues. I have glad I did purchase the 64bit version as it supports more RAM and also runs a lot faster.
Vista runs fine for me, as I do have a fast PC that can handle just about anything I throw at it, but I can see how some people might have problems with the special affects and transparent title bars…get a better PC ^_^ .
A few people have asked me about Windows Vista Game lag, well sadly I don’t know the solution, as I don’t get any lag in games, people have said that if you turn off the special features that windows offer, you can do this by going to control panel and clicking Performance Information and Tools, then on the right click Adjust Visual Affects , then that might help.
All n’ all I think Windows Vista just needs a good service pack to make it a good Operating System, Service Pack 1 was a big mistake, and I didn’t even install it, after the warning I read about…
Anyway, as I am typing this, I am on my way to Orlando, on a 9 hour flight, yes 9 hours sitting in a plane….pretty cool though, I have a TV screen in front of me, with movies and comedies.
What do you guys think of Windows Vista?
Thanks,
WizzKid
