At work as well as at home you spend a lot of time on your computer, but what happen when you are away from it and you want to keep your stuff off indiscreet eyes? One solution is to turn the pc off. The other solution, which could be called a “geeky solution” is to use a small program called Blue Lock. I have to admit that the guy who made it is a genius, really! As a matter of fact he had the bright idea to link your machine to your bluetooth equipped phone. When you go away from your desk you take your phone with you. You pc don’t smell the bluetooth radio signal in the air anymore, and automatically turn itself off. From the Blue Lock website: “Blue Lock is an application that locks your Windows PC if a particular Bluetooth device is not detected. For example, if you register your Bluetooth mobile phone with the program but then move away from your desk, the program will detect your phone is out of range and automatically lock your system, requiring the password to be entered to reactivate the system. Full Delphi source code is provided.” Now, isn’t this the smartest idea you have ever heard about? Download it now for free!

If you have bought a nice Mylo Com-2 and you are finally trying to understand how it works, well I want to tell you that soon you will have to start all over again! As a matter of fact Sony is about to introduce a wonderful website for your Mylo full…of widgets! The website, which is reachable here, is called Mylo Lab and it is a place where people who have a Mylo and Widget creators clash togheter to share their knowledge and their brand new applications. So far, the website has a handful of widgets that can be viewed and downloaded here, but soon, I am more than sure about this, there will be more available. The little applications are open-source (since Mylo itself is Linux based) so you don’t have to spend a dime to get them. Finally Sony is starting to understand how things work. People buying these kind of devices (another good example is the excellent Nokia n810) want to have something dynamic in their hands. They want to see their little babies growing and getting bigger and full of nice applications to play with, and not something that keep them bounded to a handful of program they didn’t even have the chance to choose. Customize is the keyword. Kudos for Sony!
