If you haven’t heard of Pandora.com before or know what it is, you are definitely missing out on one of the coolest websites on the web. Imagine listening to all kinds of music streamed right to your computer and out the speakers, all day if needed, for free.
Useful website of the week #4: Mint.com
First, I am aware that for some people, this website might be a little scary. I acknowledge the “scariness” and I too was a little wary to start using it. But, if you can get past this, Mint.com is pretty cool. Mint.com is a “Web 2.0″ website or web tool that will aggregate all of your financial account balances in one place.
Why I love Dropbox more than Live Mesh
Back in July, I wrote about the ways you can synchronize files between computers over the internet. At that time, I exalted the virtues of Microsoft’s Live Mesh and its other services like Skydrive. For some reason I hadn’t even mentioned Dropbox, mostly because I hadn’t heard of it up to that point.
How to keep all your Windows applications up-to-date the easy way
I started up a Windows Vista machine recently that hadn’t been turned on for almost 9 months. Of course, the first thing it did once I gave it an internet connection was to start downloading all the past 9 months worth of Windows updates.
Office 2010 Public Beta now available
If you want to live on the edge, you can download the Office 2010 Public Beta. Like any beta software, download and install at your own risk. From what I can tell so far, its a stable beta although not everything works.
Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool saves the day
Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool is one of those seldom used tools that very few people have ever heard about. In fact, I couldn’t remember when the last time I even used it but I do remember that it saved the day back then.
Useful website of the week #3: Verify and test your broadband with Speedtest.net
Most of us have broadband connections at home nowadays. In fact, sometimes the home internet connection is faster than the work connection. But how do you know if you’re getting the speed or bandwidth you paying for?
Cibertek.net is now on Google Apps
We are now official, fully sanctioned, Google “fan-boys”! Cibertek.net is now running on Google Apps. We can share calendars and contacts across the domain and our email is scanned and filtered by Postini Spam filter.
Microsoft Security Essentials gets a high rating on AV-Comparatives
Ever since I wrote this post back in July: “Is WSE the antivirus you’ve been waiting for?” I, have been waiting for AV-Comparatives to give it its blessing.
Useful website of the week #2: Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is my vote for the absolute coolest web site of the year. Ever since it went live in May, this site has gotten better and more interesting as I use it. If you can get past the name, this site should be bookmarked and/or added to your search bar.
