DriverView: Super quick list of all the drivers installed on your PC

DriverView
Figuring out if your PC's drivers are all up to date can be a bit of a hassle. You could go into the Windows Device Manager, find the appropriate hardware, select update driver and see if anything new comes up. But it would take forever to do this for every single driver you might want to update.

On the other hand, you could run DriverView, a lightweight executable file that quickly scans your PC and returns a list of every driver and its version number. You can double-click on any driver to bring up more detailed information, save the entire list as a text file, or use the search option to find a specific driver.

DriverView won't download updated drivers for you, but if you want to quickly find out drivers are installed on your computer, this is probably the fastest way. Then you can visit the website for your hardware or software to see if there's a new version of your drivers available.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
