Free university courses online
Fancy taking a course at
MIT,
Berkeley or
Johns Hopkins but don't want to fork out any cash? Now you can browse through any of their open courseware offerings available online for free! With a wide range of courses available and
a huge list of participating universities, it's your chance to get a tertiary education without actually attending classes. Although universities won't officially recognize your Physics knowledge gained through their online courses, keep in mind that
Einstein started out as a patent clerk (with a Physics degree).

If you remember seeing something like this, Berkeley's lectures were featured here a few months back.)
CNET UK Internet TV

The
UK version of CNET TV just launched and is getting pretty good feedback so far. Other than its slick and smooth interface, videos are of better quality and resolution than most Flash videos you see. Besides quality, there's also quantity. Despite its recent launch, it has already been populated with a decent selection of videos to watch, ranging from technology to music. And if you happen to have a widescreen monitor, you're in luck as all the videos are in widescreen format (I think :) ).
Just a tip: I've updated
tk Video Search to include CNET's new site. :)
Uninstallers
Installing programs to uninstall programs. Kinda ironic, don't ya think? I, for one, have always relied on Windows Add/Remove to do the dirty work, but if that isn't powerful enough for you,
Download Squad's got a few alternatives that might be what you're looking for. Read each of them carefully since some of them do not require installation or provide a standalone version. Personally, I'd go for the ones that need no installation since I'd like to avoid the situation of installing programs to uninstall the uninstaller. :)
