This Web 2.0 lark brought with it quite a few fashionable things, the AJAX inspired interface, curved corners and last but not least stripes. Stripes look good but not everyone is able to make them, not everyone has Photoshop or a comparable graphics suite to craft their own designs.
This is where Stripemania comes in, a simple but effective site that generates diagonal stripes for websites.
There are times online where you want to apply, seek or recruit people or information but also keep a low profile. Maybe you want to filter spam, making sure that if you post your email address on Twitter it isn’t used to bombard you with unsolicited email or you are advertising a potential opening for something but you don’t your company email address to be visible to everyone, whspr allows you receive the replies you need without the problems listed above.
Sites like Flickr and Picasa have allowed both personal and professional photographers to showcase their photos online, but with this, it has been even easier for businesses and agencies to steal these images and use them for their marketing without giving proper attribution to the creator.
Until today, I didn’t know if there was a decent tool that could tell you if your images were being stolen and used against your wishes. That was until I found TinEye, a service that can scan billions of images on the internet and find out where your images are being used.
Botnets are big business for malware and virus writers, with the ability to serve payloads of infected software and commandeer machines to use as spam emailers, it’s become difficult for normal computers users to identify and remove these threats.
Because different variations of botnets crop up everyday, virus scanners are finding it increasingly difficult to scan and identify these infected files. Sometimes the only way you can tell if you have such a thing on your machine is to notice random processes running in the Windows Task Manager or looking for abnormal levels of outbound internet traffic.
Luckily, security firms and software developers are trying to level the war on botnets. This article will list 5 tools that can aid you in your quest to hunt out potential security threats.

I am all for saying something about someone to their face, that’s the way I have been brought up. However, I can understand there are certain topics you just don’t want to raise around people without potentially embarrassing yourself or physically putting yourself in danger.
Whether you want to tell that lovely co-worker you see everyday is smoking hot or you want to tell a close friend that they have a tiny little bit of body odour, there is a service that might just be up your alley. HadToSay is a free service that allows you to anonymously share your thoughts and feelings with someone without ever having to reveal your true identity.
The music industry is holding onto the hope that music lovers will buy their CD’s and inflate their profit margins but we all know the future of music is digital and most probably via a web stream. Many people who read this site will undoubtedly have iPods and carry their music around with them but what if you could connect to your music collection wherever you were just as long as you had an internet connection?
No, it’s not Spotify, it’s your own version; Vibe Streamer. This clever piece of software installs itself onto your computer and makes a private server for all of your music, allowing it to be accessed from anywhere with a browser.
Searching for alternatives to paid software can be a pain at the best of times, scouring open-source repositories like Sourceforge, reading up on reviews to check if the application can do exactly what it says it can. Whilst there are social websites like Wakoopa that track application usage, there isn’t much in the way of sites that suggest different applications to the ones you already use.
AlternativeTo is a website that carefully selects the software it finds alternatives to, instead of listing thousands of applications that people wouldn’t necessarily find alternatives to.
Anything that can function by simply using your voice has always been something that appeals to me. Inside my car, I own a Parrot hand-free device that allows you to speak to people on the phone without taking your eyes or hands off of the road.

Some allow communication, some redefine communication boundaries and some are just outright fun. Today I wish to share 10 different tools and applications that revolve around your voice and can hopefully add some extra functionality to your existing practises.

Until yesterday I didn’t have any problems with these bookmarks, until I installed an update to Xmarks. Click To Continue
