Wow, what a day it's been! In case you somehow missed it, we're celebrating our 2nd birthday today and wanted to celebrate it with you! Thanks to a handful of awesome sponsors , we've got some fantastic "gifts" that we're giving away.
OnClick is a suite of useful utilities, and is created by the same people who make SyncBackSE. In all there are 8 different "mini" programs that you can pick and choose to install, and I thought it would be nice to cover each of the 8 apps that are encompassed by the OnClick suite:
Last year at this time we introduced you to a website monitoring service called Pingdom. They were having a special holiday deal where you could get the full year of the service at no cost, and any of you who took part in that deal are probably realizing that you only have about two weeks left before your one year is up. Don't worry, we've got you covered!
DVD Profiler is an essential application for all of the DVD collectors out there. It is used to track and organize your entire DVD collection in one central location. To make things really easy it contains up-to-date information on the latest DVD's, HD-DVD's, and Blu-Ray movies that are being released. Sorry, you won't have to sit there and manually type in the DVD's until your fingers fall off.
Do you have some computers in your home or at work that don't get used as much as they should? After all, we can only use one computer at a time, and many users have one computer that they have handpicked to answer to their every need.
Managing files on a computer is something users do a lot of on a daily basis. Whether it be organizing music and photos or hunting down a document that you can't seem to find...we all do this kind of stuff on a daily basis.
Do you like being able to backup/copy the DVD's that you own? There are all kinds apps to help you to copy the DVD's, but often times you need to use multiple tools to get the job done. Some people use one program to copy a video to their computer, another program to shrink it so that it will fit on a regular (single-layer) DVD, and then another one to burn it back to a DVD.
Earlier this year we did an in-depth review of Object Desktop, where we walked you through the over two dozen applications it comes bundled with for customizing Windows. Object Desktop includes WindowBlinds, TweakVista, and even Deskscapes 2.0 which will be released early next year.
This one is for all of the music junkies out there! MediaMonkey is very much renowned for being the best media manager available. It's been downloaded a staggering 2.6 million times from Download.com, received 5 out of 5 stars from the Download.com editors, and has 4 out of 5 stars from over 600 users who have voted. If that's not a recipe for a great application I don't know what is.
So far this year we've had two hard drives crash on us, and prior to that we've had a hard drive crash on us. One of the crashed drives was on our web server, where we would have lost a year and a half worth of content and files if we did not have local backups. Our backups saved the day, and we were thankful to have them.
