31 Dec 08 Microsoft Word Free Software Alternative – Open Office
Microsoft Word is the professional’s standard for word processing, excel, database, and power point presentation. Unfortunately, they have become increasingly proud of this software, and very aware that most people can not work without their Microsoft Office products. With a price tag of $679.99 for the ultimate package its little speculation why people are looking to switch to a new platform.
Not new to the street, but a program that is quickly rising in popularity is OpenOffice office suite. It includes a word processor, database program like Access, Spreadsheets, Powerpoint applications, and more. This powerful office suite is similar to Word so no one should have any problem transferring over to it. Plus, most office files work in Open Office with no problem.
Open Office is also a nice “upgrade” from the new Windows Office 2007. Many people have complained about the new interface, with its clunky ribbon at the top that takes up a third of the screen. Some other gripes include the new docx format which makes no sense. Many feel they have to relearn the whole program all over again, Open Office is a nice alternative to solve your office woes.
With nearly 20,000,000 million downloads worldwide, there is a large community base and great support if you are unfamiliar with office products. The program is constantly being updated and worked on for a better user experience. The program also has been around since 2000, and is very stable, so there is no need to worry about crashing or glitches.

26 Dec 08 Free Ipod Video Converter Software – Videora
This is something I’m asked all the time, “How can I convert my videos to Ipod for free?” It makes sense since most Ipods nowadays support video. You would think that Apple would supply a way to do this without charging for it. But being a corporation they want you to buy all the videos from their store. That’s a problem when you already have the movie. Of course you don’t want to shell out another $20 just to have it on your Ipod.
I’ve tried several programs now that claim to perform the service of taking your video and converting down to the tiny Ipod video format with little success. Half the time the program wouldn’t work, or it would be infected with a virus. I was about to give up and shell out some money for a decent program when I came across Videora.
Videora, with its easy controls, simple interface, and quick conversions make it a great program for converting your vids to your Ipod. It’s free, making it possible by displaying a few ads in the program, but they are unobtrusive and not a big deal at all.
Some features include:
- Easy File Conversion
- Progress bar to view your conversion progress
- Free
- Download Youtube videos and automatically convert them to Ipod
- Many Customizable options
The software works for most Ipod videos including Nanos, 5th Gen Classic and up, and Ipod Touch. For the free price you can’t beat it. It may not have as many options as the commercial versions, but for most(if not all) Ipod video users it should do everything you want and more.

03 Dec 08 Virus Checkers
I’ve just been updating my virus checker on the home PC after my paid subscription expired. A friend proposed I used Avast which comes from a free non-commercial use home edition.
Fantastic product, auto updates for the latest virus definitions runs in the background and very unobtrusive.
Highly recommended.
