Keep your password and username safe

David Allen — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:00:23 +0000

No matter how careful we are online, we still need to remember a username and password, or if you are like me even that is little too much like hard work and so I often spend ages searching around for them or waiting for the site to send new ones.

So it would be great if there was a little help out there and wouldn’t it be better if it were free? Well there is something worth looking at, RoboForm 2Go, this free software that can be downloaded onto any flash drive that can be used on any computer, it prompts you to approve RoboForm 2Go and that site is securely tucked away for later use, cool and its free did I mention that?

Features of the RoboForm2Go:

Memorizes your passwords and logs you in automatically.

Fills long registration and checkout forms with one click.

Encrypts your information with the strongest encryption available, including AES, RC6 and Blowfish, to achieve complete security.

Generates random secure passwords to protect you from hacking attacks.

Fights “phishing” and “keyloggers” by filling passwords only on matching websites, and not using a keyboard.

Priced at FREE

USB Encryption DIY – How to Encrypt Your USB Flash Drive for Free Using Open Source TrueCrypt!

max — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 02:14:38 +0000

My blogger friend over at GetUSB.info has a great article on the difference between USB Copy Protection vs. USB Encryption technology. A lot of people might get confused by USB flash drive companies who try to market copy protection as encryption. Well, don’t get this wrong as it could be very costly for your classified information.

Greg also mentions TrueCrypt, a free open-source encryption software you can use to secure your USB flash drive.

In short; USB copy protection secures a file or set of files so they cannot be copied – thus copy protection. USB encryption scrambles the source files so they cannot be read unless you decrypt them. Take a moment and think about this…there is a BIG difference.

Documents DIY – How to Convert Your Scanned Documents for FREE using OCR!

max — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:41:41 +0000

Most scanners comes with an OCR(Optical Character Recognition) software that will convert your scanned documents into text. Of course, if you happened to scan a document somewhere sometime but wanted to quickly convert it to digitized text, you might want to learn that there’s a FREE OCR conversion site called Free-OCR.com.

In a test conducted by Lifehacker, this OCR was just as effective as a commercial OCR software:

The rate of errors and quirks in the conversion wasn’t much higher than commercial OCR software and just like using a commercial solution you’ll need to go through and double check to make sure what you see and what the machine sees are the same thing. If you know of other free OCR services, share the wealth in the comments below.

I have to agree that a free website for OCR is awesome, especially since it also converts PDF, JPG, GIF, TIFF or BMP formatted files.

The world’s largest USB flash drive

David Allen — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:00:14 +0000

Technology is a great thing, this is especially true when it comes to innovations such as this USB flash drive from Kingston, reputed to be the largest flash drive in the world it offers a fantastic 128 Gb of storage, it is a remarkable piece of technology.

But we have to ask ourselves is this really worth buying as it carries a price tag of $546, so if there really was a need for so much memory the data and cost of the flash drive would warrant carrying it around in an armoured car or something.

Free iPhone hack bypasses tethering

David Allen — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:00:08 +0000

Much to the annoyance of mobile phone companies the iPhone fan site benm.at, has a simple hack that iPhone users can download, once completed it bypasses the tethering option and allows the user to access the internet via the iPhone.

In the UK, it is O2 who are the sole provider of the iPhone 3G and the newly released iPhone 3GS, they normally charge users around $25 per month to bypass the tethering option and even then they impose a data transfer limit of 3 Gb per month.

LightBox for Simple DIY Photo Touch-Ups!

max — Sat, 30 May 2009 03:37:41 +0000

If you are not too computer-literate on Photoshop and similar photo-editing tools, you might be happy to learn that there’s a program called LightBox that will let you just do all that good stuff without knowing any Photoshop skills.

This just seems like the perfect software my mom would love, she is still using Photoshop skills I taught her 10 years ago.

How user friendly is LightBox? When you run the program you’re presented with a sidebar of common tasks like color balancing and red-eye removal. Mousing over each of them provides not only an explanation of the tool but sample pictures showing the results and every tool within the editor itself has mouse over tips. Once you’re actually editing your image you can easily—as seen in the screenshot above—divide the image to show how the alterations are effecting it compared to the original. The divided and side by side comparison feature is great for photo enhancements where your goal is to make the picture more appealing without giving it an unrealistic appearance. If you need additional functionality, there is a Plus version available for $19.95 which adds on features like masking and auto color correction. The basic version of LightBox is freeware, Windows only

Download New Ubuntu 8.10!

max — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:33:37 +0000

As a person who dislikes Apple and Microsoft’s deceptive advertising practices, I am glad that the new version of Ubuntu 8.10 is now available for download. Although I have too many apps working on my Windows PC, I will be trying out Ubuntu 8.10 on my spare laptops and see how well it performs. Maybe I might even swap out my main PC too soon.

Productivity tools: Ubuntu supports all of your favourite web-based mail programs like Yahoo(TM) or Gmail (TM). But for the office, Evolution provides all the calendering, contacts and full function office email you need. Pidgin IM also puts you in instant touch with colleagues and integrates with your personal IM services simply and easily.

Browsing: Includes Mozilla’s Firefox 3 as the default browser. Faster, safer and themed browsing for users.

Photos: Upload from your camera or phone to F-Spot and manage, tag, share and sort your photos and upload easily to you favourite social networking sites.

Music and video: Plug in your PSP, iPod, MP3 player; share playlists with your friends; buy in the creative commons online music stores, stream more live radio and content from the BBC and plug in more devices with UPnP.

Office applications: Word processing, spreadsheets and presentations can all be delivered through Open Office. And, they completely integrate with the proprietary office applications out there. The big difference is that they are free.

Accessibility: At the core of the Ubuntu philosophy is the belief that computing is for everyone and access should be free and complete whatever your economic or physical circumstances. Ubuntu is one of the most accessible desktop operating systems around.

20 Cool Mac Apps You Need!

max — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:03:16 +0000

Here’s a cool list of 20 cool Mac Apps you might want to consider using. Although I don’t personally use Mac much anymore but I am sure it will help some of you.

1. OpenOffice.org
Microsoft Office for the Mac is ironically regarded as being better than the Windows version, but it still costs more money than most can afford to pay. OpenOffice.org 3 is a remarkably accomplished program. The result of many years of open source development, it includes advanced word processing, spreadsheet, multimedia presentation, graphical planning and database applications. In short, everything that you get with Office, only for free. It is compatible with leading document format standards so exchanging files with people who are using Office won’t be a problem.

2. VisualHub
iPods and iPhones both support video playback, but first you have to get your movies into the correct format. A cheaper and faster alternative to QuickTime Pro is VisualHub at $23 from www.techspansion. com. Not only will it crunch a movie to the right format much quicker than you expect, it will let you convert pretty much any video format into any other video format, complete with size and crop options. There are also handy presets for converting for specific devices. Even for video professionals, it’s a very handy tool to have.

3. VLC media player
There are lots of video codecs in use across the web, and since many originate from the world of Windows, QuickTime isn’t always able to play them back properly, even with something like Perian installed. VLC Media Player is a free video player that has support for just about any video you’re ever likely to come across. It’s usually able to open and play back videos that no other application that’s currently around can do. In addition, it has advanced network features for playing streams and will get you out of a fix when you’re struggling to open movie files.

4. Cyberduck
Transferring files to and from web servers over FTP can be a little hit and miss using Finder. A great free solution is Cyberduck, which is a powerful but easy-to-use program that supports all leading file transfer standards and protocols and makes transferring files as easy as dragging and dropping. With support for Spotlight, Keychains and iDisk, it integrates perfectly with OS X and is the perfect companion for iWeb if you’re using your own domain. You can even bookmark and store settings to manage multiple FTP accounts easily.

5. OnyX
There are many parts of OS X that you can normally only access using the command line. Unless, that is, you use OnyX, a free system cleaning and maintenance utility. It’s able to perform important system maintenance and cleaning tasks like clearing out logs, caches and temporary files that build up over time, can become corrupted and can even slow down your Mac. It also gives you access to hidden OS X settings via the Parameters tab, including customising the appearance and behaviour of the Dock, Finder, Dashboard, Safari and Exposé amongst others.

6. iStat Pro
iStat Pro is a great free system monitoring widget for OS X, comprising nine sections which can be hidden or shown. It will display detailed information about your Mac’s CPU, RAM, hard drives, network addresses and data transfer, battery, current uptime and the temperature inside various parts of the Mac. It does this by hooking into the many sensors that your Mac has but doesn’t allow access to through Finder. It’s a good way to keep an eye on your Mac’s insides and troubleshoot any problems.

7. AppCleaner
Removing unwanted applications from your system is rarely quite as simple as dragging the app to the Trash. Programs tend to place library and support files in other places you may not know about. AppCleaner is able to find the small files deposited around the system by apps during their install and remove those at the same time as the main app. It’s possible to protect some apps from being deleted so you can use it with confidence and stop your Mac becoming cluttered with unwanted support files.

8. Chocoflop
This curiously-named image and photo editor from www.chocoflop.com is an interesting alternative to Photoshop and iPhoto. Well designed, it is able to work with RAW files and export and import in many file formats. It also has tools to retouch images and paint on them, and dozens of filters, layer support and more. Unlike iPhoto it can work with rich text layers, and has a feature-set that is significantly more advanced.

9. AppFresh
Software Update handles OS X and Apple programs, but keeping track of updates for your many installed applications can be tiresome. Some have check for updates options but they all work separately from one another. AppFresh checks osx.iusethis. com to notify you of new versions of all your programs, widgets and preference panes. It lets you download them, too, though as it’s currently in development you could simply use it as a notifier until it’s thoroughly tested with all applications.

10. Adium X
iChat is a great instant messaging program but not compatible with all the many instant messaging account types in use around the world. Adium supports just about every protocol in existence and is available for multiple platforms, so however obscure someone’s setup, you should be able to talk to them. It’s also highly customisable so you can change its appearance in minute detail. With great features like tabbed chats and file transfer, it can manage multiple account types in a single window so you’ll never miss an online chat again.

11. Carbon Copy Cloner
For those without Apple’s Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner is a great free way to create byte-forbyte copies of your hard drives for backup and restore purposes.

12. MacLoc
MacLoc activates Leopard’s Fast User Switching function, making it look like you have logged out when you leave your Mac, even though all apps and documents will still be active.

13. coconutWiFi
Use coconutWiFi for free to scan for wireless networks when out and about with your laptop, and see if they are password protected or open.

14. Dock Spaces
Use the fabulous Dock Spaces to store up to five different Dock configurations and switch between them from the menu bar.

15. Pingus
Pingus is a free clone of the ultra-addictive classic Lemmings game, available from the Apple website games section or from MacFormat issue 200’s disc.

16. SnapNDrag
SnapNDrag is a simple but useful screenshot utility that lets you click and drag to take grabs and select different image formats as you do so.

17. NeoOffice
NeoOffice is a port of the excellent and free OpenOffice.org suite of office applications that runs natively on OS X and can exchange documents in Microsoft’s Office format.

18. Hide Folders 2008
Use Hide Folders 2008 to conceal your files and folders from others to keep them private. If you do wish to share them, they can be made visible again by setting a password.

19. Skim
Skim is a free PDF reader and editor with advanced functions like the ability to annotate and edit PDFs and extract data with more flexibility than OS X’s own Preview application.

20. YouControl: Tunes
This program sits in the menu bar and gives you quick access to all aspects of iTunes playback, including artwork without you having to leave your work.
