The Windows Remote Desktop is a built-in tool that lets you take control of a computer over a network connection. It is useful for accessing computers that are not sitting in front of you, and it's something that I use quite frequently.

Being a programmer myself I sometimes find that I get a kind of writer's block that plagues my brain. No matter what I try I just can't figure out what I'm trying to do, but there might be a new community that is able to help in situations like that.

Newegg is among the first retailers in the United States to start selling the much anticipated Asus Eee PC. They only have the version available (and in stock) which is equipped with the 4GB solid-state drive, and it costs $400 to pick it up. No, the cheaper 2GB model is not yet available.

One of the things that Windows is always heavily criticized for is the lack of security features out-of-the-box. Windows XP and Vista do come with free firewalls, and Vista has the new User Account Control (UAC), but people still expect it to do more.

One of the things people like to do with Google's products is search through their source code looking for any possible hints of features to come. As nerds users it is our duty to do that, and the new Gmail 2.0 is no exception.

Meebo continues to impress me. First they launched a file transfer feature for their web-based instant messaging service back in September. Then just a week or two ago they brought instant messaging to the Firefox Web Browser via an extension. Now just yesterday they announced that they were bringing applications inside Meebo with the first application being voice and video chat.

It's Halloween here in the U.S., so we thought it would be a perfect time to show you what happens when a geek gets his hands on a pumpkin and a carving knife. Happy Halloween!

Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you the Windows software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).

One thing that the Firefox developers have stayed clear of thus far is implementing a full RSS feed reader into the browser. Firefox does have a built in system called Live Bookmarks that are supposed to compensate for needing a feed reader in the browser, but as many of you know it falls short.

We take a lot of screenshots in a day's time, and a good majority of them are of websites being displayed within our browser. Instead of needing to use an external application to snap the screenshots why not get an extension for Firefox that includes an incredible editor!
