Oldversion.com is a site that hosts the history of several common free programs just incase you upgrade and decide you don’t like it. New programs are often becoming bloated with extra features that have no real use, or just don’t get used at all. Personally I prefer MSN v6.2 over the new V7.0 (not that I prefer MSN at all, but that’s a different matter all together). If you try something and decide it is not for you, there is always the option to uninstall and revert back to one of the older versions hosted at this site.

Seriously, I’ve been a fan of most Jaguar sport models but this car is so sweet it’s sickening. I have been drooling over this website for the past 15 minutes, no kidding.

The limited edition sports a 4.2L V8 or a 4.8L V8 Supercharged engine, 4 new paint colours, and 20″ alloy wheels. Not only that but it also includes some pretty cool technology like Bluetooth connectivity and advanced onboard computers.

Don’t you wish you could have your own personal radio station that plays exactly the kind of music you like? Well then check out Pandora. Pandora is an online radio created by the Music Gnome Project which is designed to help you find new artists that play the same type of music you already like.

Pandora references the Music Genome Project database to compare the songs you like with ones with similar genres, instruments, rhythms, lyrical content and many other attributes. This way it is able to make a logical guess at a similar group or song to the ones you like.

This Webshots gallery has some pictures of some freakin huge catfish. If anyone has been to Beaver Lake in Victoria BC, Canada, you’ll probably think twice about swimming in there after seeing these images. Not much more I can say about it than that.

Huge Freakin Catfish.

Yes, yes there is and its name is the Wayback Machine. Ever since 1996 the Wayback Machine has been taking snapshots of internet sites. A quick search for www.yahoo.com brings up a list of hundreds of archived yahoo pages from 1996 to 2005. It can be both fun and practical. You can check out sites that no longer exist like www.scour.net or you can view the evolution of a website over the years like yahoo.com Google.com, or Microsoft.com.

Check out the full post and try it out for yourself.

Yeah… uh, I dont even know how I feel about this exactly. You’ll just have to decide for yourself if this is cool or not. Some guy named Fumiaki Kawahata has outlined detailed instructions on how to make an origami Yoda.
