Add a Windows 8 user tile to your Windows 7 taskbar

Now that Windows 8 images have begun leaking out, it's only a matter of time until developers start releasing mods for Windows 7 which mimic upcoming features. Over at Into Windows, they've spotted one such mod already.

In the earliest Windows 8 images, we saw Windows Live integration on the taskbar. In the far right corner, there's a user tile displayed. If you'd like to do the same on Windows 7, download Taskbar User Tile from DeviantArt user AngelWZR.

Once installed, your current picture will appear on the taskbar. Click it, and a menu appears which allows you to log off, switch users, and access the control panel. Right now, the mod only works if your taskbar is displayed on the bottom of your Windows desktop.

NVIDIA CEO: Tegra 3 phones shipping 'this quarter'

Android Central

It won't surprise anyone to learn that quad-core smartphones based on NVIDIA's Tegra 3 chip will be on show at Mobile World Congress at the end of the month. But NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsung Huang has taken things further, with a claim that products announced there will be shipping inside of the first quarter of the year.

Speaking during NVIDIA's recent earnings call, Huang seemed in no doubt that we'd see Tegra 3 handsets on the shelves before the end of March.

"This quarter we are expecting to ship Tegra 3 based superphones. At Mobile World Congress is when we expect to announce these devices, and we expect to announce and ship them this quarter."

Pre-MWC leaks suggest that HTC will unveil the HTC One X, while LG will bring the LG X3, both of which reportedly run NVIDIA's new chip. So the suggestion is that one or both of these may actually be available to buy in just over a month's time. The supply chain can be an unpredictable beast, though, so we suppose it's possible we could see some slippage, even if manufacturer are aiming for late March.

We'll be live from Barcelona from late next week, bringing you all the developments from the show as they happen.

Auslogics Disk Defrag 3.2 gets smarter, faster

auslogics defrag
Auslogics Disk Defrag has been part of my system maintenance toolkit for quite some time. With the release of version 3.2, it's now even better at tidying up and optimizing your system's hard disk drives. In addition to a cleaner, easier-to-use interface, Disk Defrag 3.2 offers improved single file and folder defragging, better processing of multiple disks, a simplified scheduling screen, and more informative tool tips. Auslogics has also fine-tuned the program's defragmentation and file consolidation algorithms.

For laptop users, there's a new option to lock the program if your system is running on battery power -- so scheduled operations don't kick in and drain your power source at an inopportune moment. If you happen to have an SSD installed in your PC, you can head to the Disk Defrag options and exclude it from scanning (many think that defragmenting an SSD is a very bad idea).

Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free download and works with most versions of Windows.

Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update rolling out for the Acer Iconia A200

A200 ICS update

If you've got an Acer Iconia A200, and have a bit of thirst for Ice Cream Sandwich, you're in luck.  The latest and greatest Android OS update is rolling out now via an OTA update and it brings the device to version 4.0.3. We've seen ICS for the Iconia A200 leaked before, but this update is a bit different (version number wise) than the previous ones we have seen. 

The Acer Iconia A200, (read the review),  is a 10.1 inch Android tablet featuring a 1280X800 resolution. The A200 is powered by a dual-core Tegra 2 processor and carries either 8 or 16GB of memory on board, depending on your preference. The device launched back at the end of January and at that time we were promised that the ICS update would follow, and here we are not even a full month later and the update is here. With a price point of only $329 for the 8GB version and $349 for the 16GB version you can have a rather inexpensive Ice Cream Sandwich tablet.

The update is slowly rolling out, so you may or may not have already noticed the notification that it is available for download, but if you haven't don't worry you can manually check for the update. If you are unaware of how to check for an update just hop into the settings, scroll down to about tablet, select system update, and check for new updates. Be on the lookout for the manual download location and be sure to sing out in the comments or in the forums if you happen to find it.
