Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about. Don't forget to send in your own tips, or just leave a comment on this page if you think you've got something we should include.
Dell and Wal-Mart are getting friendly with each other by teaming up to offer "Geek Squad" like services at select Wal-Mart stores.
Have you been kicking your head around trying to come up with a domain name you can remember? Even though most of the good .com addresses are already taken you shouldn't give up hope. In fact GoDaddy just started selling .me domain addresses, but they will cost you $20 per year (2-year minimum registration required).
VLC is one of the most well-known media players out there, and it's been almost 4 years since they've released a major new version. VLC 0.9.0 is on the horizon, and it packs in 2 years of development... so you can expect some great things. There's just one gotcha: Windows 98/ME and Mac OS X 10.3.9 are no longer supported operating systems.
Back in the beginning of June at WWDC, Apple announced that they would be replacing their .Mac service with a new service called MobileMe. They described it as "Exchange for the rest of us" and said users would have push email, contacts and calendars.
One of the features that Google Docs has been "missing" to make it a complete online office suite is templates. I've used templates in Microsoft Office on multiple occasions whether it be for a resume, a brochure, or a newsletter, and for some, they are a necessity. Google Docs hasn't offered anything like that until now.
Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you 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).
On Thursdays we always try to walk you through how to do something, and over the years we have collected a rather large library of "how to" articles because of this. In fact one of my favorite articles of all-time happens to be a CyberNotes that I wrote for a tutorial. It's not that its a really popular article, but we've received a lot of "thank you's" from the people whom it has helped.
