News ticker

Submitted by pj80471 on April 27, 2007 - 8:23am

I've tried the search (yes honestly I have) and can't find anything yet.
I'm looking for a "news ticker" and/or "finance ticker" that can run just from USB stick. Using GreatNews as an RSS viewer, but looking for a scrolling ticker.

The one on http://www.bbc.co.uk is similar but wants installing like the one for http://www.nasdaq.com

Has anyone come across a standalone ticker that can be used please ? (sorry not an RSS viewer)

Thanks, Phil (UK)

U3 Packages

Submitted by BaDFaZ on April 27, 2007 - 2:46am

I wanted to request that all programs have a u3 package download available. This is because the more recent USB flash drives have a U3 platform and you cannot not simply install the portable programs without formatting the flash drive.
Thanks

Halo Zero

Halo Zero is a fan made game that could possibly be ported into a portable format. And i dont believe it would be illegal like actually porting Halo so it seems possible to me.

Portable Offline Internet Browser

Sounds strange doesn't it, hehe. Being a student who doesn't have internet at home, it would be extremely useful if there was a portable web browser (or plugin; to Firefox of course) that was able to save websites in a cache on your USB so you could browse the sites later.

I had this in mind because I have discussion boards for some of my online classes, but I often don't have time to read them until later at night when the school is closed.

Some suggested features:
** Downloaded sites have the exact same look 
   and functionality.

Essential PIM

Submitted by dasaner on April 26, 2007 - 5:57am

I am looking for a portable apps "contact and appointment"-manager.
It should import contacts from MS-Outlook.

An U3-solutuion is "Essential PIM", but that's not a portable apps for an USB-thumb-drive.

Any ideas???
