AeroSnap is a simple but powerful application that allows you to resize, arrange or maximize your desktop windows with just drag’n'drop.

It will be interesting to see if any of these reach the market.

I am seriously looking forward to the new Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 2. Let’s hope it can live up to it’s predecessor. It’s an amazing looking game juding by the advert. War games aren’t usually my cup of tea , but you have to admit that they look unbelievble. Let’s just hope that in the future all conflicts can be solved in the virtual world.

After I downloaded the emulator I thought it would be fun to see if I could beat my old record on Sonic The Hedgehog. I recorded a video and posted it on You Tube. Here’s where the fun begins. I want you download the emulator and game for free and see if you can beat the time. My current record is set at 29 Seconds.

Let me know your final time by either recording a video, taking a photo of your last screen, or take a screenshot. Afterwards I will post the top 5 scores on my website. The overall winner will get an old Sega Mega Drive (genesis) game pad as a trophy. If you want to enter the competition register on my blog http://www.alanlife.com

I just downloaded the Sega Mega drive emulator Fusion along with Sonic the Hedgehog rom. Let’s see if I can get back some of that Sega magic.
