Jetscreenshot Captures, Uploads in Two Easy Steps. Sort Of.

Ever on the lookout for a better screenshot application, I decided to give Jetscreenshot a chance. It's available free right now, so I figured it was worth a shot (pardon the unintentional pun).
Like other similar apps, it's a small download and doesn't consume much in the way of CPU or memory while running, and it hides out in your system tray waiting to grab an image. Use its settings screen to add your FTP server details and http path, and you get three-click screen-to-server captures.
That part impressed me.
What didn't was how Jetscreenshot started to freak out when I tabbed out of its capture window mid-edit. It didn't re-appear, and there's no option on the system tray icon to pull up your last capture. Still, after exiting and re-launching the program, it worked just fine again.
For quick screenshot chores that require minimal text overlays or MSPaint style arrow drawing, Jetscreenshot is a capable choice for Windows users. How does it stack up to your favorite grabber? Try it out, comment, and let us know!

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, ...

Those are some of the most bogus testimonials I've ever read.

Vista has a nifty, basic screenshot capture tool already built in. Click on the Windows/Start button and start typing "Snipping Tool" That's the program you want.

The screenshot link is broken and the Vista snipping tool kept crashing on my computer from day 1.
