Launchy 2.0 released
A few weeks back we asked you to name your favorite program launchers. While we're big fans of QuickSilver for OS X and Launchy for Windows, we had a feeling there might be something faster, fuller-featured, or otherwise better out there. And you ...
Launchy Final 1.0: Download of the day

Launchy - Today's Free File
It seems like this series of application launchers just won't stop. In the comments for our post

Program launcher overload
Remember when Windows 95 came out, and we were all introduced to the Start Menu? It was Microsoft's new way of allowing users to launch programs, and it kicked all kinds of butt over the old Windows 3.1 shell. They had done a bunch of user testing, ...
Enso Launcher - the keyboard launcher I wanted to love
Enso Launcher is YAKAL (yet another keyboard application launcher) from Humanized. Where Enso sets itself apart is in the fact that the application puts a big focus on design and staying out of your way. In fact, Enso Launcher doesn't have a window, ...
Could open source Blaze be the best Windows application launcher ever?
Just as with Launchy or Gnome Do, there's not a heck of a lot to see in a screenshot of Blaze's main window. The orange-ish command box really only gives a glimpse as to what's possible with Blaze, however. For starters, it's smart enough to find ...
Short Run turns Windows XP run box into a program launcher
While you can launch some Windows applications from the Run box (accessible from the Start Menu or by hitting Win+R), there's a good reason keyboard application launchers like Launchy, Slickrun, and Find and Run Robot are so popular. Many programs ...
Forget Launchers, Just Do It With Windows! - How To
There are lots of nice launcher apps out there (Launchy, SpeedLaunch, Executor, etc.), but why bother with them when you can do the same thing with functions already built in to Windows? Explorer's running anyways, so you may as well get something ...
What's your favorite program launcher? Ask DLS
OS X has its dock, Windows Vista has an enhanced start menu, and Windows XP has, well, a bunch of menus to click through to launch programs. But thanks to independent developers, there are a ton of great program launchers out there that make it ...
Microsoft finally gets into the keyboard app launcher biz with Speed Launch
If you've ever used a keyboard app launcher like Launchy, Executor, Quicksilver, or Gnome Do you've probably asked yourself, why doesn't Microsoft build something like this into Windows? Now Microsoft Office Labs has released a free keyboard ...
Vista Start Menu Emulator
This one's for the not-so-faint-of-heart out there. The Vista Start Menu Emulator intends to offer Windows XP users similar functionality to what is found in the Windows Vista start menu. While it appears to be making a good stab at it, unfortunately ...
Gnome-Do: Quick program and file launcher for Ubuntu/Linux
Gnome-Do is a lightweight and speedy little file and program launcher for the Gnome Desktop environment. Basically, Gnome-Do does for Linux what Launchy does for Windows, and a tiny bit of what Quicksilver does for Mac. The application works great ...
SiteLauncher adds a hotkey panel with visuals to Firefox
Sure, Firefox has built-in hotkey support, but sometimes it's nice to have a visual reminder. SiteLauncher is a new experiemtnal Firefox addon that does just that.
It's highly customizable - colors, font sizes, and transparency can all be changed. ...
Mozilla TaskFox will add Ubiquity features to Firefox
Ubiquity is a Firefox extension that pops up a command-line interface that lets users quickly execute common tasks, like searching or emailing something to yourself. It's like an in-browser version of Quicksilver (on a Mac) or Launchy (for Windows). ...
ZipInstaller lets you install Windows apps without an installer
We love executable Windows apps that don't need to be installed. They don't muck up you registry and other settings, and when you want to delete them, you just delete the file or folder, no add/remove programs dialog required. Best of all, most of ...
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, ...
