I list the ones that I think will appeal to MG readers (and try to vary them as a mix for you to try). Today's selections are only a portion of those shown at www.majorgeeks.com and only at a particular time of the day.
Some may be added after I review the days listings.

If they have been listed previously, then this listing is the latest upgrade.

Check the Ratings score, out of 5, on the right hand side of the program/s you have chosen. This is the MG members review, and maybe should be taken into consideration.

Sandboxie 3.45.10 Beta
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sandboxie_d4993.html

Sandboxie requires neither the disabling nor blocking of functions available to Web sites through the browser. Instead, Sandboxie isolates and quarantines the outcome of whatever the Web site may do to your computer, including the installation of unsolicited software. There is no trade-off of functionality for security: the Web site can use the full range of active content tools, and if it uses these tools maliciously to install software or otherwise make changes in your computer, then these changes can be easily undone.

Sandboxie has originally been designed to increase the security of browsing with Internet Explorer, however it is just as effective with any other browser, and in fact, any other program. Sandboxie wraps a protection layer around the programs it supervises. It is this layer that intercepts and isolates any changes the programs make to the computer. And this layer is impartial to the specific program it wraps.

ADELAIDE, Australia, May 3 (UPI) -- An Australian comic book store owner said he was dressed as Spider-Man for a promotion when he stopped a thief with the help of two Jedi knights.

Michael Baulderstone, 45, owner of the Adelaide Comics Center, said he was dressed as Marvel comics character Spider-Man for Saturday's international "free comic book day," which promotes literacy, when a customer without a costume grabbed a $150 book, the "X-Men Omnibus," from a window display, The Times of London reported Monday.

20 Richest Comic Book Characters Of All Time
http://www.ranker.com/list/20-richest-comic-book-characters-of-all-time/worlds-richest-people-lists

In honor of Iron Man 2 coming out this week, here's a list of the richest comic book heroes and wealthiest villains of all time, ranked from richest (#1) to not-so-richest (#20). These are the wealthiest heroes and villains in comicbookdom with a few ground rules. First off, we've only included the mainstream universes of the "Big 2", with one big glaring exception that just HAD to be on the list, because if we would've included anything independent it would have opened it up to pretty much the entire medium. And now, without further delay, here are the most loaded.
Click to expand...

My note: An example, #20 is Daredevil :confused

Daredevil's one of the characters with the greatest day jobs ever. We have absolutely no idea how he manages to make it to court (his poor, poor business partner), but he's a pretty great lawyer (given the cases he takes).

It's one of the most lucrative professions in the U.S., and therefore gets him on this list because, unlike a lot of heroes (*cough* Spider-Man *cough*), he's not struggling to pay the bills and is obviously doing well enough to buy his cool gadgets and a ridiculous amount of privately-tailored spandex.

Fotosizer 1.28.0.486
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Fotosizer_d5541.html

Fotosizer is a freeware batch image resizer tool. It resizes your photos in just 3 easy steps - 1. Photo selection, 2. select resize settings, then 3. Start the resize!

Increasingly, sharing photos on the internet is becoming more and more popular. Photos, represented as JPEG files from digital cameras, taken at high resolutions are far too large to send over the Internet, with some photos ending up at 5 mega bytes. Uploading one photo to a photo sharing website is fine, but 10, 20, or even more, this can take forever, especially on a dial-up connection.

With Fotosizer, you can shrink JPEG image files, along with other supported formats, and dramatically reduce internet transfer times, enabling you to quickly and easily prepare your image collections to be published on the web.

Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) 5.0.0
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ultimate_Boot_CD_UBCD_d4981.html

You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:

Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a royal pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them.

Free yourself from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive. Even if you do have a floppy drive, it is still much much faster to run your diagnostic tools from the CDROM drive, rather than wait for the tool to load from the floppy drive.

Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD. Wouldn't you like to avoid digging into the dusty box to look for the right floppy disk, but simply run them all from a single CD? Then the Ultimate Boot CD is for you!

This will create an ISO image which you can use to create a bootable CD with your favorite CD burning software..

TweakPrefetch 4.1.1.1
http://www.majorgeeks.com/TweakPrefetch_d6331.html

TweakPrefetch is an easy to use application that is designed to manage you system's fetching. It allows the user to set separate parameters for Prefetch and Superfetch.

Note: emptying the Windows/Prefetch folder is not recommended and will cause a temporary performance drop in applications startup time. I added this function to allow advanced users to reset Prefetch data in case it might be necessary. Prefetching in Windows XP is better left at its default value for the 99% of the users.

However, someone prefers to set it to "Boot Only", in order to benefit from fetching only at boot time. For what concerns Windows Vista, default settings are still recommended for most users (especially for who doesn't use the PC for gaming).

Advanced users and gamers might want to disable Superfetch (to obtain an XP-like fetching, reduce hard disk trashing and prevent this function to interfere with games) or set it to "Boot Only" at least. Obviously, it's up to the users to experiment different settings and tweak fetching at their advantage.

2011 Mercedes SLS AMG Spotted at Dealership in Florida
http://www.pedaltothemetal.com/index.php/news_story/2011_mercedes_sls_amg_spotted_at_dealership.html

As a car buff, I heard and saw the car coming into the dealership from getting a full tank of gas for its new owner but I don’t think the average Joe would notice it. It pulls off what the R8 does; a classy looking car that will not draw the sort of attention a Ferrari or Lamborghini might and for some of us, that’s a good thing.

Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) 5.0.1
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ultimate_Boot_CD_UBCD_d4981.html

You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:

Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a royal pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them.

Free yourself from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive. Even if you do have a floppy drive, it is still much much faster to run your diagnostic tools from the CDROM drive, rather than wait for the tool to load from the floppy drive.

Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD. Wouldn't you like to avoid digging into the dusty box to look for the right floppy disk, but simply run them all from a single CD? Then the Ultimate Boot CD is for you! This will create an ISO image which you can use to create a bootable CD with your favorite CD burning software.
