Freeware is a term used for computer software that may be used legally without paying for it. Even this definition is extremely broad. The freeware I list on my site must not contain spyware or other types of malware and must not be a time limited demo.
Illegal use of commercial software is unnecessary because of the large amount of high quality freeware available. Sometimes freeware can be better than the commercial software it was made to replace. I figure that most people are unaware that most of these freeware programs even exist and so I am trying to promote them on my website. Think about it this way - if the FBI were to raid your house, how many years in prison would you get for having pirated software on your computer? Hopefully my site will allow you to reduce, if not completely eliminate, your prison term. :P
Recently, a friend of mine asked me to look at his karate instructor’s computer. I went over there and the computer was continuously rebooting. It was running Windows 2000 and MSN as their internet provider. He, like most other computer users, did not have a backup of his software or data. He runs his business off of this computer, which has irreplaceable information from the past 10 years and has a program that manages all of his students, training, schedules, and billing. |

Extensions are plug-ins that add new functionality to Firefox. I recommend the following extensions: |

Education is not something that you should consider finished after you leave school. I strive to learn new things all of the time, it helps me form a more complete picture of how things operate, why they work that way, and how I can make the most of it. Most of the time I turn to Google or Wikipedia, but knowing other resources can often take much of the work out of finding the information that you need.

If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may as well find some decent sidebar gadgets to replace the rather pathetic ones that Microsoft gave you. Here are a few I use to get you started. If you have any others that you think should have made this list, please let me know in the comments.
Pandora Radio Sidebar Gadget - Listen to music from Pandora Radio without a web browser. This gadget can do pretty much everything you can do from the Pandora website: it allows you to rate or skip songs, change and create stations, and see why it decided to play the current song. It does seem to display ads at the bottom, which presumably would be turned off if you have a paid Pandora account.

This is my first Google Gadget. It was extremely simple to create since I was able to look at the code of other gadgets, especially Today’s Woot by Brady Lamprecht. Google also provides some excellent examples and a built in editor so you can create your own right in your browser.

Safari, the web browser from Apple, is now available for download here for Windows. The interfaces is slick and it seems to load webpages quickly. It appears to use the KHTML engine for rendering webpages, which apparently has great web standards support. Nice, but unnecessary seeing as how I think it is not as good as Firefox. So the big question is “Why did Apple do it?”

I recently purchases a Acer Aspire 5100 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium on it. I wasn’t too thrilled to get Vista because of all of the bad news I have heard about its development. I had actually sworn off of Windows entirely, having uninstalled Windows 2000 and installed Debian Linux on my desktop PC.
I haven’t been too impressed with many of the versions Microsoft had put out over the years. Here is my quick list of what I thought about previous Windows versions: |

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5100-5840 that had Windows Vista Premium preinstalled. I was planning on buying a Linux laptop, but I found a deal on this Acer so I decided I may as well keep Windows Vista for any Windows only capabilities I may need in the future. I decided that although I use Debian on my desktop PC, I would try installing the 64bit version of Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn along side of Windows Vista.

I was looking at buying a laptop from Dell now that they come preinstalled with Ubuntu Linux. I am very glad that Dell decided to start selling Linux and I wanted to buy a laptop from them to support their efforts. I almost bought one, but let me tell you why I didn’t. |

I am writing this text using a program called Dasher. Dasher is a text entry program that uses predictive technology to determine what you want next. Dasher is one of the most innovative technologies that I have seen in a long time. Letters fly in from the side of the screen and you simply steer the mouse to the letters you want. While it is somewhat slower than typing, it is very intuitive. |
