Hi all,

While listening to the latest Net@Night, Amber and Leo mentioned a few links that are quite awesome and so I want to share them with you.

1. SuperLame.com - add comic book type balloons to your photos.
2. PeriodicVideos.com - great if you have a child in school who is studying chemistry.
3. GooglePedia - for anyone who uses FireFox and does searches on google, a MUST HAVE!

As most of you know when you get a new PC or Laptop, whether it is a Dell, HP, Toshiba etc., it comes pre-loaded with all kinds of crap in hopes you’ll want to buy the full versions of those apps. Those pre-loaded apps also make your new machine run like an old machine.

One of the things I used to do all the time is go into peoples homes and remove all that crap then install things like AVG Free Antivirus, FireFox and Picasa to make their machines “just work”.

You can save yourself a lot of time and headache if the first thing you do is download and install “The PC Decrapifier“. They just released a new version that now adds…

A new version has just been posted with lots of great updates! This version focused on removing crap from the latest Toshiba Laptops. Some of the newly detected apps are: Norton 360, Microsoft Office 2007 Trial and Activation Assistant, Quickbooks Financial Center, Napster, Memeo AutoBackup and Picasa 2. There were some additional bug fixes for WildTangent Games (again!) and Symantec LiveUpdate.

For a complete list of applications it detects, see here.

I just came across this great new FREE service (thanks to Net@Night) that allows you to share files (Pictures, Video, PDF’s, Documents etc) without creating an account.

You just upload some files (max 100MB) to a “drop box” and give it a unique name (for $10/year you get more space and a permanent url), password protect it if you want and set how long it is to exist for.

Just think, on your next vacation with a group of friends, one of you creates a drop box to upload photos and gives permissions so other friends can add their pics too. Now you all can go to one place and grab the photos you want easily! No more exchanging CD’s of pictures or having one “geek” friend try and organize everyones photos into one place.

This new service has unlimited possibilities and I am one for sure who will be using it!
