Screenshot Captor: One of the best
If you write blog posts or perhaps ebooks or articles based on technology, one of the first requirements of many is finding a decent screenshot program. One of the best, in my opinion, for Windows users has to be Screenshot Captor, as it allows editing of the screenshots taken, and possesses some large configuration options. And it's a free download.. If you're after a good free screenshot grabber, try Screenshot Captor.

The Making of The Petaminx - Rubik's Cube Cubed and Made by Insane People

Screenshot - 3_3_2009 , 12_32_51 PM_thumb.png
Dear lord.. this is real.  Personally i think this planet is not good enough to deserve the people who have what it takes to create stuff like this.

Just to *assemble* it before you can play with it:
The puzzle has 975 individual parts.
Each face has 101 stickers, making a total of 1212 stickers.
20 hours on masters and molds.
12 hours casting parts.
30 hours cleaning up parts and sanding (!!)
7 hours assembling all 975 parts
6 hours stickering.

tutorial and videos on puzzleforge
