I received a tip the other day from "S" who was letting me know that Webroot is giving away free licenses for their firewall software. This is for a limited time only, and I've already requested several licenses of it for myself.
Google has just made some very "unlike Google" changes to SearchMash, their experimental search engine. Much like Google's search, SearchMash has always offered a rather simple experience that was easy to use. Recently they launched a new flash version that has all kinds of features like tabs to switch between search options (images, videos, etc.) and a "snap preview".
The independent Full Circle Magazine has just released issue 6 today, and as expected it includes some great tips on the recently released Ubuntu 7.10. More importantly they show you how you can upgrade Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) to Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).
YouTube designers and developers are in the process of making quite a few changes to both the look of YouTube and some of its features. They say that some changes will be to existing features, but they'll also be rolling out some new ones. In the mean time, they've put together a preview of what the new browsing page will look like. Ready to see it?
The New York Times got it right when they said, "It turns out someone does like Windows Vista, along with Office and the other stuff Microsoft sells." Sure Windows Vista is getting bashed left and right, but people are buying it. In fact, consumers bought $1.1 billion dollars more in software than what analysts had originally projected.
Do you remember the WebRunner browser that we wrote about last week? It was created by Mozilla as a way for websites, such as Google Reader, to provide a standalone application for their users. That way people don't have to keep their main browser open all of the time if all they want to do is read news on Google Reader, or browse Facebook.
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).
With today being the grand launch day of Mac OS X Leopard, I thought we'd continue the topic we started last week focusing on Mac computers. There's no better time to poke fun at Apple and Mac and in the process, laugh a little too. Below you'll find a collection of jokes and comics from around the web. I'm not promising gut-busting kind of laughter, but they're still funny. :)
