Internet Explorer Retitler: Because you can
by Simon Kerbel Mar 6th 2008 at 2:00PM
We didn't think we would find another entry in the "totally useless but very cool for a few seconds software" section so soon, but as luck would have it...Internet Explorer Retitler is small, simple, and does what it says. Open the program up, type in any title you want, and hit the "retitle" button. The next time you open Internet Explorer you'll see your new title in the title bar (along with whatever site you happen to be visiting).
Now we'll construct an imaginary dialog between us and a loyal reader.
Reader: What else does it do?
Download Squad: Nothing.
Reader: Does it have any preferences, any customizations?
Download Squad: Nope.
Reader: So what good is it?
Download Squad: The only limit, friend, is your imagination. How about typing in a marriage proposal to your significant other (oh, that would be so geeky...)? How about playing a practical joke on your friend? Or maybe programming a reminder to yourself, so that every time you open IE, you are reminded of some event or some inspirational thought?
Internet Explorer Retitler is mercifully free, and Windows only.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

This has serious utility for software test automation. There are times when automation software is trained to recognize object containers by their name. The highest level container in a web-based app is the browser window, which is commonly identified by its title. When environments change, the title occasionally changes causing a need to adjust the object definitions. This can make them all look the same, saving a lot of time and effort for the automation engineer. THANKS!
