Advanced Evernote Search Syntax

Evernote is one of my most used applications on all my machines and mobile devices because it has all of the data I access on a regular basis. One of the reasons why I love Evernote so much is because I can take a photo of a receipt or document, and their servers will perform character recognition (OCR) on it so that I can search the text it is able to find.

Monitor and Quit Adobe Flash on Mac

A lot of people have heard about the negative impact using Adobe Flash can have on your notebook computer, such as the MacBook Air. Apple even went as far as not including Flash when shipping new MacBook Air computers, and it's likely because of the battery implications it can have.

Add Folders to the Mac Menu Bar

I've always added some of my most used folders to the Mac OS X Dock, but at the same time my menu bar has remained fairly empty. I came across a pretty nice app called XMenu that will let you add up to 6 different icons to the menu bar, and each one represents a different folder on your machine.

Q10 is a Full Screen Writing Program

I'm not real big on full-screen writing applications, but I know quite a few people who use Q10 on a regular basis. This is considered to be a distraction-free way to write stories, articles, or just about anything that is text-based. It isn't a feature-packed app like Microsoft Word, but it includes a lot of the things that writers really want including spell check capabilities.

Opera 11 Adds Extension Support

I've never been a big Opera user. I have tried it on several occasions over the years, dating way back to the time that you either had to pay for Opera or get the ad-supported version. Its lack of extension support has always been its Achilles' heel in my opinion. At long last, this issue was addressed when Opera 11 was released a few weeks ago.

Save a Webpage to a Single HTML File in Chrome

How many times have you wanted to archive a webpage or save its current state for one reason or another? I know this has happened to me, and I've almost always turned to a scrolling screenshot to snap an image of the entire page or I've used a print-to-PDF app.

Splash Lite: A Beautiful Video Player

There are all kinds of great video players out there such as VLC and GOM, but when it comes down to appearance I have to give Splash Lite the credit it deserves. You can see what I'm talking about in the screenshot above, but that only gives you a glimpse of how polished the app actually is.

Boot Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Ophcrack, and Others From a USB Drive

A few years ago I used to keep spindles of blank CDs and DVDs next to my computer because I was frequently burning discs, but over the last year or two that has drastically changed. Now I have my discs tucked away since I barely burn one or two discs per year.

Free Hard Drive Space Analyzer with Advanced Reporting

I've tried all kinds of hard drive space analyzers because I hate having excessively large files laying around for no good reason. We've already written several articles on some of the programs out there that will help you crack down on large files and folders (including this long list of apps), but we've got another one to show off.

Compare Up to 3 Text Files with DiffMerge

I'm a huge fan of the free WinMerge app because it's a fast way to compare two text files (or folders) and find the differences between them. There are also online options such as Quick Diff if you don't want to use a dedicated app, but I recently stumbled upon an alternative to WinMerge that is a bit lighter.

Solipskier, Osmos, and Others Collectively Raise Over $35k for Charity

Remember a few weeks ago when we told you about the six independent iPhone game developers that were teaming up to raise money for charity ? They each put their games on sale, dropped the price down to the sweet $0.99 price tag, and pledged to give 1/3rd of their of their sales (after Apple's cut) t [...]
