Are you annoyed about the slow startup of Adobe Acrobat Reader? Here is a nice tool to reduce this waiting time to less then a second:
PDF SpeedUp (you have to scroll down a bit)
Works great also with Acrobat Reader 7! There is also a tool that does the same for Photoshop.

For all German users: Don’t miss the German translation of the interface. Here some examples:

• Disable the splash screen during program startup. -> Sperren Sie den Spritzenschirm während.
• Remove the “My eBooks” folder created in your “My Documents” -> Entfernen Sie das Heft “Meinen Dokumenten” -> “Meiner eBooks”
• Turn off the advertisements for Adobe products in the upper-right corner of the toolbar -> Sperren Sie die Reklameanzeigen für Ziegelsteinprodukte
• Plug-ins not to be loaded on startup -> Nicht auf Start zu ladende Einsteck

American companies have a quite funny way to protect themselves against lawsuits: They simply print any warning on the product one can think of. Since some are so funny, there is a contest for the most wacky warning label.
M-LAW’s Wacky Warning Labels
The winner was a label on a toilet brush:

“Do not use for personal hygiene”

Also funny from Apple’s iPod shuffle:
There is a comparison image of the tiny player with a pack of chewing gum next to it with the footnote:

“Do not eat iPod shuffle”

Very funny indeed

Also a nice German article I found on Spiegel.de: Absurde Produkt-Warnungen
