Switcher 2.0

If you are looking for a Exposé-like window selection dialog for your Windows Vista computer, I suggest you give Switcher 2.0.0 a try. Switcher is a free utility that has pretty much all the features of OS X's Exposé with a lot of customizability. It has all the features you might be looking for: user-defined shortcuts, hot corners, and a lot of advanced options to adjust the look-and-feel.

Richard Dawkins on BBC HARDtalk

Monday August 06th, 2007 01:30 AM by Dima Tokar

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur interviews atheist Richard Dawkins about his views

HARDtalk logo

A very well-done interview by Stephen Sackur of BBC. Sackur fearlessly questions Dawkins' views and raises numerous points which are often used in an attempt to rebuke atheism. Dawkins, of course has answers for all and in many occasions knows exactly the point Sackur is going to bring up before he finishes his sentence.

While most of Dawkins interviews pretty much follow the same pattern of questioning, this one is better than most because Sackur does a great job developing follow-up questions based on Dawkins' responses. A very good watch for people interested in the issue.

The interview is available on YouTube in three parts:

Part One (9:12), Part Two(8:55), Part Three(5:55)
