Opera 10.60 Free Download: Now With Built-in Malware Protection and Support for WebM Videos
The new Opera 10.60 comes with more speed, a few bug fixes, support for HTML 5 elements and most impressively, it now includes AVG’s Web Threat Data Feed to shield you from malicious websites and malwares. Is the Opera 10.60 the competition’s answer to Google Chrome 5.0.376.86? Maybe. However, the new Opera v10.60 is the first browser ever to include an embedded anti-malware add-on and people accustomed to Internet Explorer and Firefox should now seriously consider shifting to Opera 10.6. You can download this free browser from www.opera.com/browser/. If you want a fast browser with added protection when you surf the internet and download files, this one is the best browser recommended.
Opera 10.60 Regains the Speedtest Crown and Sets Record for Being First to Support WebM video format

Convert Voice Data into SMS and Email Without Breaking a Sweat
Download Free Dragon Dictation App for iPhone and iPod Touch via Apple App Store
If iPhone OS 4 can only provide a built-in voice app where you can dictate to your iPhone and iTouch, then there would be no need for Dragon Dictation, a free mobile app. A major turn off for the iPhone 3G and 3GS for me is its lack of QWERTY keyboard. I have a hard time typing on the onscreen keyboard for sending emails and SMS. I feel cramped when typing out email notes and text messages on it; I am forced to send very short messages. To be honest, I try to avoid sending text messages on my iPhone 3GS. When an SMS comes in and it requires prompt reply, I whip out my Blackberry or Nokia phones to reply with. It is embarrassing to admit but I have clumsy fingers when it comes to iPhone typing.

Download Free Softwares to Restore or Recover Lost Files From USB/Flash Drives
Previously, I have posted here some common causes of USB/Flash drive data loss. After downloading and testing some free data recovery softwares designed to restore/recover lost or deleted data, I am posting now my verdict on the efficiency and performance of these free softwares.
Generally, all data recovery softwares perform the same – free or commercial. I have actually used a commercial software (whose name I will no longer mention here) but did not perform significantly better than freewares.

iTunes 8.0.1 Improves Stability and Performance, and Includes Bug Fixes to iTunes 8
After downloading the latest update to iTunes 8 which is iTunes 8.0.1, I’ve seen quite a number of changes in this upgraded version. If you can recall, Apple released iTunes 8 promising great features including Genius Playlist, Genius Sidebar and HD TV shows, among others. These new features seemed too good to be true at first but after some time, bugs have been discovered by users like this author. It’s a good thing Apple provides an auto-update feature of their products like iTunes 8 and Quicktime. The total size of the update file is 73.12 MB and takes about 30 minutes to download on broadband internet connections.
Download Free Anti-virus Software, Firewall Software and Secure Email Software for Your Online Protection
There are many computer tools like free anti-virus softwares, firewall softwares and secure email softwares that can be downloaded over the internet. The reason why computer tools like these are needed is simple: you can’t trust everything online. When you transact online, it’s possible that you could be hijacked by malwares like the Limbo malware, or when you open your email, your mailbox could be infected by the alleged Torch/Invitation Virus. Even cell phones could be attacked by viruses. WTF!!
