Tomb Raider Underworld

The next installment of Laura Croft is Tomb Raider Underworld. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but the game is great. It has got the classic Tomb Raider story line and feel which you have come to love, but with improved graphics.

Vista Transformation Pack

I’m sure alot of people out there have heard of the Vista Transformation Pack, a software bundle that ads alot of Vista’s features (as well as a clone of Vista’s ‘Aero’ theme) to Windows XP. I used it a few years ago and have to say, it’s not great. It does add some usefull things to XP but it slows the computer down considerably.

Vista Transformation Pack dosn't always work properly.

Some of the features that I liked included Vista SideBar, a tool that mimicked the SideBar in Vista, ViStart, a clone of the Vista Start menu (rather buggy though) and WinFlip, a peice of Software that simulates the Start+Tab flip hing in Vista. I did however end up un installing the pack because it made my computer so slow. In some cases it took 5 times as long to do something in XP with the Pack than in XP without it. The Pack also messed up my Audio Drivers.

When compared to the speed of real copy of Vista on the same machine, the Pack was faster but by so little it hardly mattered. If you have an old PC, I don’t suggest trying the pack or attempting to install Vista itself, just stick with what works for you  -  XP.

iPhone Battery Pack Showdown

By Jonathan at 12:23 PM

Anyone who owns an iPhone can testify that the battery life on both the 1st and 2nd generation is horrible. When you are going from using smart phones that lasted a week to a phone that must be charged every night, it takes some getting use to. My previous Nokia Communicator would easily last an entire weekend of heavy use on a single charge. We here at The Tech Lunch have found three options to help ease your power issues.
