Online video converting site


http://mux.am/ is a online video converting tool.You simply point Mux at your original video and tell it what kind of output you want. Behind the scenes it will download the original video, transcode it to the new format, size, and rate per your specifications, and store the final video in S3.
The current version of Mux is for personal, non-commercial use only. My understanding is that this restriction will be lifted in the future, once the developers decide on the most appropriate business model.
There is also a mobile version of Mux. It will transcode the video so that it will work on a cell phone, and then send a text message to the phone when the video is ready to be viewed.

Record any sound on ur Computer

can be for example quite useful if you want to record conversations in Skype or Teamspeak or record a sound that you heard on a website on the internet. Yes, even streaming radio poses no problem but you should note that the following free tool is not capable of recognizing the beginning and end of songs. It just records for as long as The freeware that I’m speaking of is called MP3 My MP3 Recorder After installing the application you specify the source from where you want to record the audio from. You may select from the following sources: Phone Line, Microphone, Line In, CD Player, AUX, SPDIF, Stereo Mix and Mono Mix. Stereo Mix for instance should be a great selection for most purposes. Once that is done you should fine tune the recording level for best results.

To do so take a look at the bar on the right side of the program window which should not peak into the red area at all times. Once that is done click on settings to specify the bit rate for the sound that will be recorded (between 32 and 320). You may also set a time limit for the recording but the default is to record until you stop the recording.

If everything is set the way you want it to be you click on the (red) recording button to start the process. The buttons to stop and play the already recorded songs will become active once that process has started.

Ninjawords - Good online dictionary

Web site ninjaWords is an online dictionary with a few creative tweaks.First, Ninjawords gives its results in an AJAX-y list, meaning the page doesn't refresh and each definition you look up remains inline so you can easily compare or compile a list of words. In fact, if that's your aim to begin with, you can look up several words at a time by separating them with a comma (e.g., geek,productivity,sitemaps).

The Ninjawords dictionary is based on the Princeton WordNet project (and sometimes pulls from Wiktionary). This isn't the place to go for long definitions or etymologies, but if all you need is a quick definition or list of definitions, Ninjawords might come in handy.

Some interesting Freeware Programmes

Some interesting freeware programs have been updated the last days and I would like to use the opportunity to write a short article about the ones that I have already mentioned here .
The first program worth mentioning is a new version of the Foxit PDF reader.
It is much faster than the Adobe Reader and optimized for performance. The newly released version is Foxit PDF Reader 2.0 final.

Next in line is a new version of CCleaner which supports not Microsoft Vista. It received some bug fixes and several routines have been optimized. CCleaner makes it pretty easy to delete all those temporary files and traces that many applications seem to create. Delete internet cache, history, cookies and much more with the click of the mouse button.

Vlite is a very interesting application for Windows Vista. It lets you uninstall components of Windows Vista that can’t be uninstalled by default resulting in a smaller and faster system. You can also create a image file of Windows Vista with removed components which is helpful when you reinstall the operating system.
Well those have been the most interesting ones. If you think something is missing from this small list let me know.I hope you enjoyed reading this post.

List of Free Antispyware Softwares

We all know how irritating spyware is once infected on our computer. Your computer responding very slowly, your hard disk LED never goes off like as though some activity is going on every second, you get popups every minute, and your browser is impossible to use anymore! Cleaning them is NEVER easy because the developers of spyware no longer makes it easy. I've seen spywares that disabled msconfig and regedit. They modify part of your Windows to disallow basic manual way of removing the spywares from autostartup. What I find it hard to believe is, spyware can even load in Safe Mode!

Spyware has became so widely spread that there are so many Anti Spyware programs are out for you to BUY. Instead of spending your money on Anti-Spyware programs, why not try cleaning it with FREE Anti-Spyware programs first? Here I have tried my best to include as many free Anti-Spyware programs. Because Anti-Spyware programs can't clean all spywares, most probably you'll need to try all of the Anti-Spyware programs below but please do it one at a time and not simultaneously.

1.AVG Anti-Spyware Free
Notes: AVG Anti-Spyware is previously known as ewido. Ewido was very famous in removing spywares and AVG has acquired ewido. No doubt it's one of the best but unfortunately Free version doesn't allow automatic online-update, no Real-time monitoring of the entire system and no Self-protection at kernel layer guaranteeing gapless monitoring. It's good to scan and remove spywares.

2. Spybot - Search & Destroy
Notes: One of the best free Anti Spyware! I have it with me all the time in my USB thumb drive!
[ Download ]

3. Microsoft Windows Defender
Notes: Don't like the online update. Have report saying that it's a resource hog. Well, don't expect too much from Microsoft.
[ Download ]

4. Ad-Aware SE Personal
Notes: Another one of the best FREE anti spyware scanner. The newer version 2007 is still in Beta and believed to be the best when it's out!
[ Download ]

5. Doctor Alex
Notes: I rate this one 5 out of 10. It's not that good but it's not that bad either. The database is around 5MB and it only has updates once in a while. I also carry this around my thumb drive because it's portable.
[ Download ]

6. SUPERAntiSpyware
Notes: Looks superb! Real time protection is only available for PRO/paid version. Scanning and cleaning spywares is still available for FREE version.
[ Download ]

7. Spyware Terminator
Notes: Quite good antispyware program. Able to integrate FREE ClamWin antivirus and has powerful real-time protection.[ Download ]

8. Semellone
Notes: From the interface, it doesn't give me a sense of security. Looks like a novice programmer did this. Don't know why the author decide to use a skull icon to terminate a process.
[ Download ]

9. 1-2-3 Spyware Free
Notes: Update function is not smart. Every time you click on the Update button, it will just download the latest signatures. It doesn't identify if you already have the latest signatures. Easy to use but full of ways trying to promote their other sharewares.
[ Download ]

10. Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner
Notes: Takes seconds to complete scanning with Bazooka. Bazooka doesn't scan all your files as it only scans for 603 known objects.
[ Download ]

11. EMCO Malware Destroyer
Notes: Very BIG file size. 28MB to download. Has over 10000 target signatures. Able to scan spywares, adwares, dialer, virus, trackware, worms and trojans. Scanning takes not more than 20 seconds. A bit bulky program for what it does but still a good one.
[ Download ]

12. Arovax AntiSpyware
Notes: Release date on 24-Jun-2006 which is quite old. Ran the LiveUpdate and detected no new signatures. Totally outdated and I suspect that this project has been stopped. It's a waste because I like the clean interface. No harm trying. Might remove old spywares but of course not the newer ones.

13. Evonsoft Advanced Spyware Remover Free Edition
Notes: Just like what the software says, it's pretty advanced! It has liveupdate, and lots of tools such as Active Ports, Net Sniffer and etc incorporated in it.
[ Download ]

14. Flobo Free Anti Spyware Clean
Notes: Have to wait 30 seconds for the program to launch. It is fully functional but you can remove the 30 seconds waiting time by paying USD19. Very basic interface.
