Each time you delete a file from your computer, you probably think that file is gone for good. In reality, though, it will more than likely have traces hanging around on your […]
Update: Jinni announced that it will shut down its service on the web and concentrate on delivering "content recommendations and discovery via [..] TV & online operators". For years there was really […]
There are a whole lot of web-based feed readers which compete fiercely, but few desktop based applications. In fact FeedDemon and perhaps a couple others like RSS Bandit and RSS Owl represent […]
Joe’s post today was about the importance of backing up your blog, and it’s something which I now realize can never be taken too seriously - only this week another website I […]
StarDock is a software company which I would be willing to bet just about all of you have heard of or personally use some of their products. I haven’t actually purchased any […]
As WordPress emerged the dominant self-hosted blogging platform of perhaps 2 years ago a growing ecosystem of sites and services sprung up around WordPress.org including resources websites, premium WordPress themes and other […]
2009 should be an interesting year for mobile phones, with the iPhone growing rapidly in popularity, the much talked about Windows Mobile, Google Android making it’s way onto more devices and the […]
Ubuntu is now the most prominent Linux distribution perhaps due to its philosophy of creating 'â€Linux for humans†and targeting the consumer first and foremost. With a regular 6 monthly release Ubuntu […]
Frank, one of gHacks’ readers let me know about a great little tool called Acer Vista Grid that he discovered recently. Lets see what he had to say about it first: …a […]
As you now know, Windows 7 is being officially called… Windows 7. Microsoft has been pretty tight on leaks up to now so we haven’t had a great deal of information about […]
A couple of days ago I gave some of you the chance to win one year’s license for Extensions for Windows by simply stating the one feature they would most want to […]
Extensions for Windows isn’t freeware and so this review may seem out of place here on gHacks, however I managed to score some free licenses to give away to you guys, just […]
Yesterday I finally got my Zune 120, all the way to Australia from America through Ebay thanks to Microsoft’s failure to release the Zune internationally at this point. All I can say […]
I’m really not a big gamer. I play occasionally, but when I do I’m generally only interested in Real Time Strategy (RTS) titles such as Age of Empires III, Command and Conquer […]
Even though I’m not a programmer myself I’ve always enjoyed reading Coding Horror. Okay, partly because it’s one of FeedDemon’s default feeds but also largely because Jeff Atwood just writes interesting stuff […]
As you know by now, I’d be the first to defend Vista. I personally feel it is the best OS available at this point in time and I’ve spent the last 9 […]
Joshua writes about cool interesting stuff over on his own blog Extendably. Feel free to check it out, I’m sure you’ll like it. No matter what your opinion is on MySpace, […]
It’s been remarked upon of late that the concept of beta software has changed dramatically over the last ten years. Perhaps Google was a major influence (sigh… Gmail) or perhaps the Internet […]
I’ve got a feeling that the biggest loser from Google releasing Chrome is going to be Opera. I saw a lot of reviews comparing Chrome to Firefox, Safari and IE, but almost […]
Microsoft announced it’s latest lineup of Zune products to a fairly underwhelming response, which was frankly also fairly well expected. It’s easy to get cynical about the Zune, especially considering Microsoft’s promises […]
WordPress is fantastic for the extend to which is can be customised, however if mucking around with CSS isn’t something you really want to get into personally then here are a few […]
From the whole “Google is an OS†discussion going on across the blogosphere you’d think Microsoft is in complete denial about the future of cloud computing and has absolutely no initiatives in […]
Whenever I want to discover some new music these days I got to 1 of 3 places; Amazon, Wikipedia and Last.FM, in that order. Amazon has got perhaps the most useful database […]
Adobe Reader is the *worst example of software bloat I’ve ever had the bad experience of using. In fact I have not idea why I did use it for so long. Adobe […]
Let’s talk about Google Chrome. Why not? Everyone else is. I would be willing to bet anyone reading this article has already downloaded the Windows beta and is probably using it right […]
If you were in any way interested in Windows Longhorn then WinFS will not be an unfamiliar word to you. This technology was to be part of the revolutionary next OS and […]
I’m going to go slightly off-topic today and share some of my recent finds with you, I hope some of you will find them helpful! Guitar Tabs are an incredibly easy way […]
Windows Live is rapidly maturing into a very real and competitive set of products. Each individual service isn’t the best solution, excluding Windows Live Writer perhaps, but it does have a huge […]
So far in this series of posts I’ve taken a look at Windows Media Player, iTunes, Media Monkey and Helium Music Manager. Today I’m going to review Microsoft’s 3rd Media software offering; […]
For Part 3 I’m going to do the unthinkable… review a commercial application! So apologies for that, but I think this is worthy of a mention, even if you do have to […]
Yesterday I began this series of posts which I hope will be a very comprehensive review of every music player alternative. I started off with Windows Media Player 11 and iTunes. However […]
I was hoping all you gHacks readers could help me out with some feedback on one particular topic; Music jukeboxes. I have written up my thoughts, but I would genuinely like to […]
I use Digg (on occasion), StumbleUpon and sometimes Google News. The New York Times and Techmeme satisfy the rest of my needs. I didn’t really think I could be interested in yet […]
Nokia doesn’t have one wizz-bang distribution store like Apple has with iTunes, and locating applications for the Symbian OS is actually quite a pain. Apparently Symbian is a total bitch to develop […]
It’s getting pretty hard to get excited about online image and photo editors seeing as they’re a dime a dozen. However just today I discovered one which I particularly liked and thought […]
I’ve always loved the ease in which multiple desktops are accessible in Ubuntu (and other Linux OS’s as well I presume, I haven’t tried any) and find myself wishing for the same […]
Josh is a freelance blogger and trying to start his own over at extendably.com – check it out! Like most people, my first experience with blogs was on Blogger.com. Within about a […]
Just a word of warning, this is very likely going to turn into a rant. (But not the rant you may have expected) If you follow tech blogs then you could hardly […]
This report by Mashables’ Paul Glazowski caught my attention whilst reading my feeds the other day. It’s called, ’Opera Mini’s Continued Success Rests on Smart Product Placement’ and describes the current success […]
Google Analytics is almost the default free service for any blogger, and for good reason. It’s a solid service, essential for anyone needing to track visitor statistics and create a successful blog. […]
Last week I posted an article discussing some of the issues with messaging application Digsby, and why for now I chose to instead use Pidgin. My conclusion was that although Digsby is […]
