So you are thinking about moving to windows 7 but just cannot safe the hassle of installing all those essential applications, well your prayers have now been answered say hello to the free serviceninite.

Just go to Ninite.com and select the applications you need from their vast array of essential freeware on offer. Need Chrome, WinRAR, Skype, Picasa, Gimp, .NET, CCleaner and PuTTY (to name just a few of my favourites)? Well of course you do! Wouldn’t it be nice if you could install them all in one fell swoop?

Make your selections and Ninite generates a single convenient hands-free install file. Just run the single downloaded file on the upgraded machine and your choices all install while you get more coffee, no muss no fuss. Ninite also refuses such bloatware as toolbars and other add-ons included in some installations. However, make sure that the upgraded computer is connected to the internet before starting the installation.

I used Ninite today when upgraded to Windows 7 and have nothing but praise for it, it really saved me a lot of time and hassle. Ninite install packages work on XP and Vista as well as 7, and come highly recommended.

from the website:
The easiest way to get apps.
1.Pick the apps you want.
2.Start your customized installer.
3.You’re done!
Ninite runs on Windows XP/Vista/7 and works
in the background 100% hands-free.

We install apps with default settings and
say “no” to browser toolbars and other junk.

All we do is install the latest versions of the apps
you choose. Not even Ninite is installed.

The dawn of a new era….. Windows 7

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

zziwndows7What if a new version of Windows didn’t try to dazzle you? What if, instead, it tried to disappear except when you needed it? Such an operating system would dispense with glitzy effects in favour of low-key, useful new features. Rather than pelting you with alerts, warnings, and requests, it would try to stay out of your face. And if any bundled applications weren’t essential, it would dump ‘em.

It’s not a what-if scenario. Windows 7, is set to arrive on new PCs and as a shrinkwrapped upgrade on October 22, it has a minimalist feel and attempts to fix the bad tate that vista left in so many mouths. In contrast, Windows Vista offered a flashy new interface, but its poor performance, compatibility gotchas, and lack of compelling features made some folks regret upgrading and others refuse to leave Windows XP.

For the last 6 months the team at la-rg-e have been testing the final relase version of Windows 7 and we are happy to give it our seal of approval. The final shipping version that goes on sale at the end of October is the worthy successor to Windows XP that Vista never was

Evernote the best multi-platform solution

Monday, September 28th, 2009

EvernoteSo you are browsing on your mobile phone and you see something interesting that you know will come in handy later what do you do? wouldn’t it be good to say select the url/ page / file / image / etc. and simple store it in a location that your computer can access? in fact why not have it accessible to any web based device including your blackberry or iphone. Step up to the plate Mr evernote its your time in the sun.

From the website:
Evernote makes it easy to remember things big and small from your notable life using your computer, phone, and the web. You can get going today with a free account .Chances are, if you can see it or think of it, Evernote can help you remember it. Type a text note. Clip a web page. Snap a photo. Grab a screen shot. Evernote will keep it all safe. Everything you capture is automatically processed, indexed, and made searchable. If you like, you can add tags or organize notes into different notebooks.
Find anything fast.Search for notes by keywords, titles, and tags. Evernote magically makes printed and handwritten text inside your images searchable, too.

Evernote is like the Microsoft application Onenote but on steroids, the benefit is that Onenote required a share point server to share your note book successfully but you can still be in the tricky situation of multiple changes overwriting them selves…

I recommend Giving it a try, the free account will get you hooked and at $45 per year the unlimited premium account is practically free..
