GET RID OF WINDOWS GENUINE ADVANTAGE NOTIFICATIONS

You may know Windows Genuine Advantage as a system devised by Microsoft in 2005 to combat piracy of its software products. Others may know it as those annoying messages that keep informing you that something may be wrong with your copy of Windows, even though everything else is working fine.

SIMPLE EMBED CODE TO ADD COMMENTS TO ANY SITE

It may not be a multi-million dollar venture-backed startup, but Lev Walkin has an elegant solution to a common feature of the social web, commenting. JS-Kit is an entirely free little javascript embed that allows you to add threaded comments to any web page in one line:

"<script src="http://js-kit.com/comments.js"></script>"

JS-Kit works by running Lev’s javascript code, which along with the website’s referral, fetches the appropriate comment data from his server. The comments are fully customizable by CSS and multiple comment instances can be displayed on the same referring URL by changing the “path” attribute of the comment. That way you could have a photo page with unique comment threads for each picture. However, while JS-Kit allows for a lot of customization, it still lacks some of the more advanced administrative features of fully integrated comments, such as those of our WordPress blog.

Lev Walkin is a Cisco Security Engineer out of Santa Clara, and originally came up with the idea as a way to help he wife, a web designer, easily add comments to her sites.
