Coming across some free software is nice, but what's even nicer is finding an app that you typically have to pay for that's available at no cost for a limited time. Do you like the sound of that? If so you may want to check out the currently free (until the end of October) WinX DVD Ripper Platinum that is being given away compliments of Techweenies.

Play MKV Files in Windows 7

I've been using Windows 7 Media Center as my dedicated media hub for the last few weeks, and it's been a nice upgrade from Vista Media Center. Some improvements include support for up to 4 tuners for each type (QAM, ATSC, etc...), a lot of interface improvements, and HD support to name a few. It can even play AVI/DivX files natively without needing any add-ons.

Vertor Torrent Tracker Verifies Files Before You Download Them

One of the things that is always hard about downloading from the BitTorrent network is trying to figure out what's legit and what's not. A lot of times I rely on the comments from other people to tell me whether the content is what it should be, or whether someone is trying to play a cruel trick.

Why Gmail Video and Audio Chat are Important

Yesterday Google announced that Gmail users can start both audio and video conversations from within the web-based mail interface. Naturally that got a lot of people excited because you don't need to download any third-party program to get it running. You do, however, have to install a plugin on your computer though.

BBC Gives Us a New Perspective on Privacy

BBC recently posted a video titled "Britain seen from the skies above" and while it was fascinating simply to watch, to think about it really gave us a new perspective on privacy. It's a real short clip, about a minute, so take a look and you'll see what we mean:

Stream Videos from Your Phone to the Web with Qik

We like to think of a service called Qik as "live YouTube." It's a video service that allows users to stream live video feed from their mobile phones to the web. Qik launched a private alpha release not too long ago and people like Kevin Rose and Robert Scoble have really helped to create some buzz about it.

Improv Everywhere does a Human Mirror

The Improv Everywhere group comes up with some really unique things to do. You might recall that earlier in the year they "froze" themselves in Grand Central Station located in New York. I'm still now sure how they managed to attract all of the participants, but in the end it definitely turned some heads.

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.

CyberNotes: CyberSearch Firefox Extension

Yesterday we announced the new Firefox extension that we launched called CyberSearch (our homepage for CyberSearch). It is based on the original version of AwesomeSearch (now called Searchery), and the reason I decided to create the extension was because I saw how it could make me more productive. Hopefully what I've come up with can be useful for you as well.
