The InsanelyWind (formerly MSIWind.net) community has been hard at work to bring back Atom processor support to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Today, they have found a patched kernel that works with MSI Winds.

Downloading the required files, and loading the 10.6.2 kernel is very simple with the instructions:

1 ) Extract the kernel to the root of your hard drive
2 ) Rename the kernel “Mach_Kernel_10_6_2ATOM”
3 ) Open com.apple.Boot.plist with a plist editor
4 ) Change the plist to point to Mach_Kernel_10_6_2ATOM
5 ) Run the update.sh script
6 ) Move sleepenabler.kext to _disabled folder in the vanilla/EFIkext folder
7 ) Copy the sleepenabler.kext from the zip folder to vanilla/EFIkext
8 ) Run /.ae27.sh & ./update.sh script

Have you ever wondered how you can send more nudges on MSN Live Messenger? Well today, I will tell you how to send unlimited nudges in MSN. It is a very simple process for Windows users that should take less than 10 minutes.

What you will need:

• Windows MSN live messenger
• Messenger Plus! Live (Get it here)
• MSN Plus! Live Nudge  Script (Click here)

Now here are the steps for getting it to work:

1. Install Messenger Plus! Live if you haven’t already
2. Download the Nudge Script and import it
3. Go to a chat window and select the 3 cubed icon
4. There should be NudgesTooolsScript… If it says “disable” leave it and skip to step 6
5. It should say “enable” select it
6. Now you can open up any chat window and nudge people for as long as you like!

Have fun with nudge wars, and annoying people. But remember, people can block you if you get too annoying.

Note: Depending on how you install Messenger Plus! Live you may or may not contract adware or spyware or other malicious software. I take no responsibility for your actions.

YouTube has good music videos, comedy acts, and more. But you cannot listen to them on your iPod or any other device. Well, today I bring you the solution to download YouTube videos as MP3 songs.

Now using these websites, you just need to enter a YouTube video address and wait for it to download and convert.

GetAudioFromVideo.com

Good website to convert those YouTube videos to MP3 files. Has a little bit of ads but you will probably live with it.

ListenToYouTube.com

This also has a good amount of ads. But hey, it does its job of converting!

VidtoMP3.com

Little more fancy graphics. But again, they should lay off on the ads!

Video2MP3.net

A clean user interface with minimal ads (finally!). But the problem is, it will only convert some videos not all.

YouTube-MP3.org

Suggested by Joshy (thanks!). This website has no advertisements so far.  Compared to others, they convert the files to be 128kbps audio not 64kbps audio (which is a good thing).

So that’s about it. There are probably many more websites that do this but these are the ones that work for me. And for Safari0 users having trouble downloading those MP3 files, you should check out my article “How to Save and Download MP3 Files in Macintosh Safari” for some help.
