This past week we covered a couple of the free anti-virus applications. We also had some fun with Online TV applications and took a look at a very cool hard drive space manager. In case you missed anything here is a list of articles from last week.
Since it has been a while since we have checked out an office time wasting game for Friday I thought I would introduce this fun little 2D shooter. Battle of Britain: Commando is a cool flash based game which resembles the classic video game Metal Slug.
Last weekend we took a look at Joost, an online TV application with a lot of content. This weekend we’ll continue the theme by checking out AnyTV, which currently boasts 2,630 online TV channels, 6,910 on-demand videos, and 4,750 online radio stations.
One of our many great readers wrote in the other day asking why his computer was making a noise when he pressed the caps lock key. After thinking about it for a minute, I realized that he probably had accidentally turned on Toggle keys, which makes a sound when you press CAPS lock.
Earlier this week we took a look at free anti-virus application AntiVir which received great comments from everyone. Continuing with our series on free anti-virus tools, today we will take a look at Avast Home Edition.

So the Drives tab in DriveSpacio will show you a graphical view of all drives on your computer, with all sorts of great charts and graphs.

While running my PC Repair business, I have to deal with a lot of virus and spyware infestations on my client’s computers. One of the most common questions I’m asked is: What kind of anti-virus should I use? The answer, of course, is one with updated virus definitions!
Over the next few weeks we will take a look at a few of the reliable free options.
Whether you are environmentally conscious or just looking to save some cash, the rising prices of energy have everybody looking to cut back on costs. If you’ve ever wondered how much power your computer consumes, there’s a free power management tool called Local Cooling here to help you out.
How many times have you wanted to only print out a portion of the data on an Excel spreadsheet? About a year ago I shared a tip to save ink and paper by only printing selected text from a webpage. Instead of analyzing the spreadsheet, printing it out and reanalyzing it to find the pertinent data here I will show you how to print out the specific area.
Editor’s Note: Joost is available in the US only, unfortunately. Sorry about that, we think it’s unfair too.
A few years ago I remember many people asking, trading, and selling Joost invitations. I ended up getting one when Joost was in beta and though I thought the idea was great, I was not very impressed with channel content. Since then Joost has come a long way. Currently still in beta but open to the public, Joost boasts over 480 channels with 28,000+ TV shows.
If you’ve seen the screenshots of Google Chrome on XP vs Vista, you’ve probably noticed that the interface looks completely different. If you want to make your XP version use a slick black theme, you can do so with a custom hack.
As almost everybody knows by now, Google has released their Chrome web browser, a stripped down browser built for speed and an inline search bar known as the Omnibox. The only problem is that by default there are only 5 suggestions, but with a simple command line switch we can increase that number.
The retail price of diagramming software Microsoft Visio 2007 ranges between $550 to $259 depending on if you choose professional or standard, which is a lot of money for somebody on a budget. Since we love to write about replacing expensive applications with high quality free alternatives, today we are writing about Dia, a free alternative.
Since it is back to school time it seems appropriate to cover some tools to help you store and mange your studies easier. Evernote is a great free note taking application that can help organize the most disorganized people. Evernote allows saving notes, pictures, and web content to one centralized location and being able to access it from almost anywhere.
I love trying out cool music players. I have already written about several players and no doubt will continue that trend. Today I will cover the sleek, free, and powerful AIMP2. AIMP2 could probably be best described as a Winamp alternative of sorts. The cool thing about AIMP is they do not hold out features only available in a “pro” version. AIMP2 is very light on system resources and can play basically any media file under the sun.
We’ve already covered how to use an Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your dead Windows computer, but using the boot cd can sometimes be a little slow. We can speed up the booting process by installing Ubuntu to a bootable USB flash drive instead.
Again another exciting week for computer geekery! I would argue the highlight of this week was the release of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2. We also covered a lot of several MS Office tips. In case you missed anything last week here is a list of the week’s content.
