Many people are using RSS feeds and feel acustomed to them but shy away from podcasts. I’am not sure why this is the case but tools like Juice Receiver could close this obvious gap. Podcasts are like radio shows, the only difference that they are not broadcasted but available as downloads mostly in mp3 format. The variety of themes excells those of radio shows in my opinion although tech podcasts are more common than, lets say, podcasts for women.

Saving a sequence of images is really painful if you do it manually. You have to click reload, save the image, reload, save the image.

CSpace is a freeware that offers its users the possibility to securely communicate over the internet using public RSA keys with a strength of 2048 bit. Every user creates a 2048 bit RSA key for himself and maintains a contact list of names associated to public keys of other users. Public keys are exchanged using a key server. Cspace users can chat with each other, transfer files and even use a remote desktop feature.
