Here are 10+ Cool Windows Apps fresh from the bakery that you must check out! Even better, they are 100% Free!

1. Stardock Fences - Have a cluttered desktop? This beautiful piece of software lets you create little fences, or boxes around designated areas and name and customize them. You have to see the video and try it to appreciate it - it's much better than the name sounds!

2. Taskbar Shuffle - Don't underestimate these little add-ons, this is a big convenience when you like your task bar items arranged a certain way. Just drag and drop and move them!

3. Pidgin - This is the best instant messenger I've used. It supports Yahoo, MSN, AIM, Google Talk, and a few others.

4. RSS Owl - Simplify your RSS already!

5. VLC Media Player - The best media player for windows that plays every movie file rather than needing Windows Media Player, Realplayer, and Quicktime. All in One baby!

6. AbiWord - If you don't want to spend $90,000 on Microsoft Word just use this it's even better because the paper clip guy won't nag you!

7. Filezilla - Free FTP Client that does everything the expensive ones do.

8. Notepad++ - This is (IMO) the best text editor with Syntax Highlighting, Macro's, and about 25,000 other features. I've used a lot of them but I always come back to Notepad++.

9. DVD Flick - If you've never been able to burn DVD's now you can for free, this software will convert it too.

10. Paint.NET - Quite similar to photoshop but not as large Paint.NET is the best free replacement and the next best thing compared to Adobe Photoshop

11. Launchy - With this application you could greatly reduce the need for a start menu by just typing in a few letters and it searches your hard drive for applications or files you frequent. It's getting popular lately.

12. CCleaner - I've used CCleaner for 2 years now and it cleans up tons of garbage that is slowing your computer down.

13. PSPad - Another great editor, I place it one step behind Notepad++ but it's up to you to decide.

This just in; YoVille has claimed the life of a poor piggly wiggly . The little guy was wondering around a back yard and the young man who was playing that evil YoVille game saw the pig and thought he had to eat it!

Since there is no food on YoVille and the toons never eat, this young man believed he was his YoVille toon and had to eat something. He tried to buy food earlier at the store but they don't accept YoVille coins in real life, what was he thinking!?

Some people are getting their realities confused from this YoVille game! Anyways before you knew it, the pig became bacon and he emailed all the people on YoVille some bacon too Its a sad day, I hope pigs will be protected more.

While the boy ate the bacon he just played tic tac toe earning 10 coins a game and didn't care about the piggly wiggly who had freedom. YoVille Kills again

If you want to automate some of your processes on YoVille you could get a macro application. If you are tired of clicking through everything you can record a mouse pattern and have it do it automatically while you go get a drink of coca-cola to fill your big tummy to play the game. LOL.

You can also record tic tac toe and go watch tv while it automaticcaly plays the game to earn 10 going a game -- You will need two computers to do the macro.

Make sure you give your Mouse Timer a little extra time for any possible delays of the YoVille screen taking longer to load.

Enjoy

OsCommerce is an overbloated out of date ecommerce shopping cart problem. It has a lack of organization, terrible html markup (which hurts SEO), and the sloppiest template system on earth. There really is no reason to use OsCommerce. It's 2009, you should be using shopping cart software that has some decent web standards.

I just purchased a copy of LiveCart, which is an AJAX and PHP/MySQL based shopping cart using the InnoDB Storage Engine. It's fast, reliable, clean coded, and extremely easy to use. In fact, LiveCart is so easy to use that you don't need to know anything about programming or coding. It has a built in WYSIWYG editor that's even easier to use than dreamweaver. LiveCart templating is used with the Smarty PHP templating engine, and if you've used Smarty before you'll know the common sense approach it has.

Tech Support is quick and the requirements are standard with most webhosts: Apache, PHP5, MySQL 4.1+ with InnoDB. (Such as BlueHost, GoDaddy, Apollohost).

I compared other shopping carts like X-Cart, Sunshop, Zen Cart, and OsCMax and they don't come close to the ease of use you will find in LiveCart. Althought LiveCart isn't free, it's worth every penny and will save you hundreds of hours, and even hundreds of hours for your clients!
