Add Names To DVD Drives
If you have got multiple DVD drives installed on your computer system or are making use of virtual DVD drives you might have noticed that they do not come with proper names..

BetaMarker: A Digg-like site for software

mycaps Screenshot - 001 , 03_36_PM , Sep 12 2006_thumb.png
But unlike other software sites where the content is created and regulated by administrators, Beta Marker is governed as a pure democracy. The people, software enthusiasts around the world - you, rule this domain.

Free press.Beta marker members can submit any software they like to the site. The software may be in alpha, beta or final development stages. It may have a large software company behind it or a one-geek team.

Majority Rule.All software is voted on by other Beta Marker members. If the software rocks, it will be voted for by many members and be promoted to the home page where it will be shared with all Beta Marker members. If it sucks, members will vote against it and it will be removed.

I suspect that the gaming/manipulation that will occur here by companies in order to artificially promote their programs to the top will be unprecedented if this site ever becomes popular, but it's still an interesting idea.
