The easiest ways to get programs these days is to download them. When I was getting started with software, you had to actually go to a store and buy them. The Internet didn’t really even exist back then! There’s software available for any platform these days, but this video is all about Windows… and the ease with which you can install programs using Ninite.
I’ve noticed lately that I seem to save things that most people would simply throw out. I have software that dates back so far, it wouldn’t even install on any computers I currently own. Seriously – some of it is that old! I have cables and cords that won’t fit any plugs. I have clothing that went out of style more than a decade ago. It’s time to face it… I am a pack rat.
Whether or not you’re a fan of Java, it’s something we use every day – often without even thinking about it. If your Java version isn’t updated to the most recent, you’re going to run into troubles. Thankfully, Sun has been busy releasing updates… and upgrades.
Now that Motorola is going to be moving to Android, it will be interesting to see how many others will follow. Some people aren’t cracked up about a few of the updates Motorola has in store. What do you think?
Who would have ever thought that the iPhone would be providing a boon to the flash memory market? I rely on my iPhone to survive, pretty much. I use it nearly as often as I use my actual Mac Pro! The more I use it, the more memory and storage I need. Being able to use flash memory on a mobile device is sending the demand for such things through the roof.

I love software! It’s so soft and squishy! Oh wait, maybe it’s not soft and squishy. But software does make our lives easier – helping us accomplish things that would be difficult to otherwise do. Software vendors regularly approach me, wanting me to push their titles to all of you. I turn them down quite often. For one thing, it’s usually never free software. Once I tell them no (due to cost), then they tend to splutter. I then ask them what kind of a coupon or deal they’re going to give all of you. The folks at Mariner have come up with one heck of a deal…

There’s a myth that there’s no software available for OS X. That is a lie! If you don’t believe me, then check out the MacHeist Bundle. It has a handful of Apps that would be worth around a thousand dollars – but it can be yours for $39!
When someone offers you hundreds of dollars worth of software for a fraction of the cost (legally), you’re insane to ignore the offer. This is what MacHeist is all about: a bunch of crazy people running around the Web, completing puzzles, and getting tons of digital bits in return. This time around, I scored dozens of apps (valued at $500 in total) without dropping a dime.

Whether you love them or hate them, Microsoft is here to stay. If you ask me, I’d have to say I’m more on the love side. They do some pretty amazing things… especially giving away software to students and teachers!

You’ve probably hit the frustration when needing to find information about hardware or software. You reach for the manual, only to not be able to find what you need. You just can’t find things easily. They lead to nothing but frustration many times.

The word beta supposedly means that a product is not quite there yet – it’s still baking, so to speak. We see this word everywhere these days. The nature of software is that we’re in a perpetual beta state.

Spicy Distribution announced the 2008 edition of ‘Give Good Food to Your Mac.’ In this special offer, the more products you buy, the greater the discount gets.

You have only until the 30th of November 2008 to get the best of the offer.
What’s available this year? Here’s what’s on the menu:

Have you ever tried to view your media on your computer through your television? You could either connect your computer to your TV, or use software designed to collect this media for you. Where can you get this software? Giovanni sent me the following email:

Even before the World Wide Web, I downloaded everything I could find to run on my computer. I was a software Geek from day one. Hardware is expensive, so I never got into it nearly as much.

Believe it or not, I have been accused of never talking about Windows. That’s an illusion. Apparently, there’s just not a lot of interesting Windows software out there anymore. If there is… you’re not telling me about it. How can I let everyone know about cool programs like this one if you don’t point me towards them? Send me links to the cool stuff you find, and I’ll be happy to talk about it.

I like free. Do you? Did you know I like free things? Free RULES! Ok, so you get the point. We all love things that are free. I wanted to pass along a free program to you. Not only is it free… it’s an index of MORE free stuff.

Since I stream my life while in the office, I get people who ask the same questions every day. One of them is usually “how big are your monitors, anyway?”. I thought I’d answer that question once and for all, using a measuring tape. I think this is going to take awhile, so you should probably get a cup of coffee while I measure. Isn’t there an easier way? Thankfully, there is Rulers. Rulers is free software that works on both Mac and PC.
