Editra: Free Cross-Platform Code Editor with Syntax Highlighting

Whenever I do programming I tend to use some form of text editor, and so far my favorite app for that is Notepad++. Ever since they added in the code auto-completion it has been a great tool for the projects that I've worked on.

Artweaver: Free Photoshop-like Image Editor

We always like coming across an interesting free application... especially when it sets out to accomplish a lot of what a paid application does. That's exactly the first impression I got when using Artweaver. They don't come out and say they are trying to emulate Photoshop, but they don't need to.

Helpful Tip: Right-Click in Boot Camp

It's nice that with Apple computers you can now run the Windows operating system using Boot Camp, but they don't tell you how to do things like right-click. For the longest time I didn't notice any problems because I often have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an external mouse and keyboard, and the mouse has two-buttons just like most standard computer mice.

ZoneAlarm ForceField FREE for Today Only

Last year we talked about a new product called ZoneAlarm ForceField who's goal is to protect users from the dangerous attacks on the web that could leave their computer vulnerable. It does this by creating a virtualized environment much like the free alternatives we've covered before: BufferZone, LivePC, and Sandboxie.

Helpful Tip: Remove Old Versions of Java (JRE)

Over in our forum Max inquired about whether it was safe to remove old versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that had been left behind after each upgrade. Of course you can, and there's a good chance that you can free up hundreds of megabytes by removing them.

CyberNotes: Using Cobian Backup to Keep File Revisions

Have you ever been working on a project where you wish you had a copy from a few hours or days ago before you made some changes? Most people never think about being able to setup a system that manages revisions of files (a.k.a. version control) because they think it's too complicated, but it takes only minutes to do using the free Cobian Backup software.

Google MP3 Search Available in China

We've been wondering when Google was going to get into the music game, and it appears as though they're diving in head-first starting today. The only catch is that the service is only available in China. Users outside of China will need to use a China proxy if they want to gain access to the site.

CyberNotes: Mount ISO Images in XP & Vista

One trend that I've noticed as bandwidth and hard drive storage space continues to grow is that sending CD/DVD's over the Internet is becoming a preferred way for distributing media. These files are typically in an ISO or BIN/CUE format, which most people will then burn to a CD/DVD before using them.

Snarl Brings Growl-Like Notifications to Windows

One of the things that I think all operating systems lack is a universal way for applications to display notifications. Yes, there are those pesky popup balloons on Windows, but using that to display notifications for things like new emails or messages is flat out wrong.

Halite: A Small BitTorrent Client

I've been a big fan of uTorrent for quite some time mostly because of its small size, but there are a lot of features it has that I've never really needed. For example, how often do you look at all of those fancy graphs in uTorrent? If you feel the same way then you might want to checkout the Halite BitTorrent client.

Download Legal Torrents

There is a common misconception that the only torrents available are of pirated music, movies, and software. While a bulk of the traffic shared between the BitTorrent network is illegal, there are also some ways that it is used for good. For example, the BitTorrent network serves as a great way for Linux distributions to share new releases.

Download iPhone Firmware 2.0, iTunes 7.7, App Store, and More

The next 24 hours is going to be pure chaos for Apple fans, and the madness started early this morning when Apple released iTunes 7.7. That was then followed by the App Store launch, then a "leaked" iPhone 2.0 firmware, and more. It's madness I tell you.
