Couple of new free programs and updates

I have been using a new firefox extension called GSPACE. It was very easy to set up, I greated a new gmail account and gave my brother in law and other family members the username and password, so when it was all set up we could trade pictures and other files very easily. It is also great for small file storage like picture, songs, and other documents you may be afraid of loosing. Because the gmail account acts like a virtual hard drive, you will have a pretty nice size storage area which is not affected by computer crashes.

FIREFOX V.2.0

CCLEANER

REVISION3 Website with new shows and lots of great content.

Heres a clip from TSS with Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht (yes, the Diggnation Hosts) where KRose takes a $6 toothbrush, and OVERCLOCKS it to match a $100 one. Really cool and VERY funny. Enjoy

Skype Out = Free calls to phones

Free calling within the US and Canada.

But remember, you can make free calls within the US and Canada to both landlines and mobile phones until the end of the year. It’s really easy; there are no contract fees, no line rentals. All you need is Skype and a phone number you want to call.
