It’s one of those days again when my Firefox auto-update prompts me to install yet another update to Firefox 2. I have been shifting from trying out a 3 Beta release to old Firefox 2 and I was surprised that Mozilla is still doing some patchwork to version 2.
Fixes for this release:

XUL popup spoofing […]

Finally! Microsoft has wizened up and decided that as Save as PDF option is pretty handy. And to think that OpenOffice and even Google Docs have had the feature a long time ago. Anyway, straight up, this thing adds a Save as PDF or XPF option in your Save As menu. And depending on your […]

Now here’s a nifty one for PC security. So you lug around a thumb drive as a handy backup for your data, store some no-install software for quick use, and a means for your to transfer or copy data on the fly. Who thought you can use it as your personal PC keyfob?
Here’s USB […]

One thing you got to hate with how Microsoft marketed Vista is that most of them came in bundled with new PCs that they didn’t even come with an installation disc. Since this is Vista (a Microsoft product), it goes without telling when the damn system would decided to f*ck you up big time. […]

If you think the next thing you need is an Add/Remove Programs replacement, then you do have a valid thought there. As with a lot of built-in features of Windows, they’re crap and many other programs can do the job a lot better 10 times over. As with the case of uninstallers, they do […]

A while back, we featured this (De)Motivator poster generator that can be found online and free to use. For some reason, I hate seeing Motivator posters (especially the one in my totally non-motivating boss’ office in my first job). But I do find amusement in Demotivators - those spoof posters that give a different twist […]

If you’re a big fan of portable storage - USB flash disks, external hard drives, even your iPod - you know the annoyance brought about by having to eject them first from your OS before yanking off the USB plug. It’s a two-stroke process for Windows users (left clicking that icon in the system […]

I really haven’t gotten around checking new freeware for the past few months so oblige me as I sneak in a post or two. In all honesty, I could just go on and on featuring all sorts of freeware here but I usually go for the top-ranked ones. Call me prejudiced, but if it’s not […]

This is nothing new, especially for PC gamers out there. I’ve been revisiting some of my old games while waiting for the holiday crunch (and the bouts of laziness) to finally pass. While a lot of PC games out there are really built for PCs (strategies and simulations) where you get to use the […]

Year-end list and year-end awards. I stumbled upon CyberNet News’ Tiny Program award. It was the first time I’ve read about Pitaschio but heck, after checking it out, I’d have to say that I’d give it the same props too. Tons of features to help you manage Windows and yet it just takes up […]

So probably not everyone will be needing this functionality but for power users, testers, and designers, this may yet be a must-have for them. There are times when you just have to change your display resolution whether it’s to try something out in a different resolution than your default. For those who have done […]

Just got my Firefox updated to 2.0.08. No better notification than that right? Just a message saying that the updates are out and you’re good to go.
Now it isn’t really that long until we finally see 3.0b but I just can’t wait for it. These releases (2.0.0.8) are security updates to the browser. According […]

If you haven’t really been exposed to Microsoft Office 2007, then you still might not know of the new file formats that Word, PowerPoint and Excel use. They’re those file formats with “x” mysteriously added at the end (e.g. .doc of Word now is .docx by default). Don’t be fooled by this, though. Somehow […]

Okay, so Adobe Reader is one bloated piece of software and it’s not the type that you can just lug around in a thumb drive. Remember when we featured Foxit reader to control PDFs and tabs better?
Well, with the release of Foxit Reader 2.2, we just have to say that it is, by far, […]
