Please dont write me mails for additional information but contact the author of multibox. (phatfusion)

While surfing around and reading news I discovered an interesting project named fonie. To make it short it offers an voice tel within your browser. You dont need to install a plugin or other software. From the technology part what are they doing ? Fonie.de is using adobe flash to grant access to your microphone and webcam for their webbrowser video-telephony.
If you want to test it just visit their homepage and start a new call. You will receive a link that you can send to your friend … The sound quality is not the best but I believe that this will be changed soon if a big Investor will help them

Its time to present our tool of the month: YAReG!

It sounds insane but it is really possible. The only tool you need is YAReG ("Yet Another R(eiser)FStool GUI") available under http://yareg.akucom.de/. It is a graphical frontend for the rfstool.exe written by Gerson Kurz and based on Microsoft .NET framework. Before you install or start YAReG you must be sure that you have installed atleast the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.

Im damn proud to announce the first release of my own GINA Implementation known as BlueLogonGINA. The purpose of this Implementation is to provide a 2nd way and a more secure method to authenticate the user. Beside the normal logon by entering the username, password and by choosing the domain, the implementation BlueLogonGINA provides a new logon method by using an extern bluetooth device to logon automatically. The only requirement for the bluetooth device is that it should support J2ME MIDP2.0 and the bluetooth java api.

The BlueLogonGINA Implementation works on all Windows 2000, 2003 and XP systems. You can also use this version to replace the original Microsoft GINA Implementation. As I said, the implementation allows also to use the old logon method by entering the username, password and the by chosing the domain.

Another great tool:

Visualizer Photo Resize enables you to batch resize JPG images in a folder, and optional subfolders. It supports different aspect ratios, automatic color correction and grayscale conversion, as well as customizable image dimensions and JPG compression level. In addition, the program can also embed a small text in the image, add a visible watermark to each, and optionally create a ZIP file containing the resized images. Visualizer Photo Resize includes an image browser, as well as a tool to generate a simple (but attractive) web album.
