Nice little program that enables you to close all your opened applications and windows with one single click. It works in Windows XP and Windows 7 and doesn't need installing.
If you are tired of waiting for your Windows 7 computer to shutdown or restart, you can create a new shortcut that will speed up the process considerably.
Another great TEDtalk about genetically engineering male mosquitoes to make them sterile, and releasing the insects into the wild, to cut down on disease-carrying species.
