ICONlook: icon search engine

When it comes to tracking down some icons for a project — nothing real fancy, and preferably under some kind of open license — image searching on Google doesn’t always do the trick. ICONLook is a search site that you can try instead: it’s specifically for icons, and it has some useful features that make it worth a peek if you’re in a pinch. These are generally OS-type icons, for stuff like apps, documents and search buttons, so don’t get your hopes up for anything too fanciful. Heck, we couldn’t even find anything as wild and crazy as a cat icon on ICONLook.

Selection is not ICONLook’s strong point. Even within the categories it’s designed for, there’s not a lot of variety. On the plus side, many of the icons are available in a number of different sizes, and there are links to the source and the license for each one. This puts to rest any worries that this might be some kind of hack job, or the work of nefarious icon pirates. Instead, what you get is a legitimate, middle of the road selection of licensed icons that will hopefully expand to become more useful.

Medison Celebrity – The $150 Linux laptop

Need a laptop, but don’t have a few hundred bucks lying around? If you could manage to scrape up $150, then you can have yourself a brand new fully-functional notebook.

The Medison Celebrity is powered by an Intel Celeron M 370 which is clocked at 1.5GHz, 256MB of DDR2 (expandable to 1GB) a 40GB hard drive and a combo drive. You’ll also get 3 USB 2.0 ports, a PCMCIA card slot, Ethernet, 802.11g wireless.

One thing to note is that like all cheap PCs, it’s going to come with Linux. I’m pretty sure that for $150 you can learn to love Linux. However, I will admit that this deal does sound far too good to be true, so proceed with caution. There is a 4-6 week shipping time, so it’ll be a month at least before you know whether or not your $150 investment will bear fruit.

DupliFinder: Find duplicate and similar images on your PC

Ever wish you could scan your entire photo directory to find and delete duplicate images? Sure, one or two pictures here and there might not take up that much space. But when you realize that you’ve accidentally stored your entire wedding album in three different folders, that’s a whole different story. Of course, you don’t want to start deleting images until you’re absolutely certain they’re identical. And that’s where DupliFinder comes in.

This Windows-only utility will scan any directory (and optionally its subdirectories) and look for identical images. But that’s not all. It will also look for images that are compositionally similar. As you can see in the screenshot, this means you won’t just find exact copies of an image, but also pictures that look a little bit like your original image. This can come in handy if you’re looking for another picture of your kid or dog to send to your parents. Or you know, if you’re looking for a picture of a microphone.

It takes a while to scan large directories. And the open dialog is a bit awkward. You can either browser your My Pictures folder, or you can drag and drop a directory to DupliFinder from Windows Explorer. There’s no way to navigate to folders outside of your My Documents directory with the browse feature.
