Archos 5 Internet Tablet Android 1.6 Firmware Update
The French company maker of Archos 5 suffered public embarrassment last December when it first issued and then canceled their Android 1.6 update. The Archos 5 internet tablet owners were mollified that the firm actually did a last-minute cancel of its free Android 1.6 Firmware update after it was found to be corrupting the Android OS (read more about New Android Phones in our archives)! Some customers felt betrayed by ARCHOS. If you remember, Amazon.com pulled the 160 GB versions of Archos 5 last October 2009 after another firmware update caused dozens of glitches in the device.

Limitations of Skype: Standard Version Features, Paid Plans and Fees
When scouting for a VoIP solution, Skype maybe what you need or not. Skype has always been advertised as a software that you can use to call a landline phone using your PC. Skype is a software primarily designed to provide voice and video communication between computers and cannot be a suitable substitute to a telephone service. In fact, Skype cannot be used with emergency 911 calls, hence one of the limitations of the standard version. A business version is available but you will be charged with a certain fee if you’ll choose to use it. For business, many Skype users posted good reviews. For one, the audio quality is generally great according to most users with a few glitches, of course. This is the reason why some user complaints can also be read online although these cases are few compared to the perceived benefits of the product.
Download Free Skype Standard Version 4.1.0.179
A Skype application can be downloaded to compatible mobile phones manufactured by LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson which allows you to access your Skype account from your phone wherever cellular service is available as if you were on your personal computer. If you need a software that you can use in your cell phones, consider Skype. You can download Skype for free but not all the services are given free so choose what’s just right for you. If you simply want to chat with family members and friends, Skype can conveniently provide you with an Instant Messaging solution that rivals even Google’s GTalk and Yahoo Messenger 10 in terms of video calling/chat. The IM interface is also clean and fast-loading, with no fancy environments and scripts.
Download Filezilla 3.3.0.1 Free: Update Fixes Major Connection Problems and Errors
Yes, we love Filezilla and as of this writing, other FTP clients can’t take away our vote of confidence in terms of speed, reliability and security. However, Filezilla is not a perfect FTP client. It has its own share of flaws, bugs and errors. Some of these errors that we have encountered include sudden disconnection from our web servers during file transfer. Prior to version 3.3.0, we cannot open two connections at the same time. Either we close the first connection or cancel the second connection. With Filezilla 3.3.0.1 Update, these connection problems and some other bugs have been fixed as experienced.
You should read our past articles titled Filezilla Client is the Best Free FTP Client Software to understand why we can only recommend Filezilla as the FTP client you should use in uploading/downloading files to/from your web server/s. For starters, its free (open source) and you shouldn’t pay a dime or even download from this software torrent sites. We don’t even recommend downloading anything from Torrents because of the risks involved (virus infection, malware attack, etc.)
Filezilla 3.3.0.1 Free Download is Available
Free Yahoo Messenger (YM) 10 Download for Windows and Mac Now Available
It took us a while before downloading the final version of Yahoo Messenger (YM). We waited until the free download of Yahoo Messenger Final Version 10 becomes available (which already is now). For one, we were pretty sure most of our IM buddies have not upgraded yet to Yahoo Messenger 10 and our upgrade will only create an incompatibility with older versions (YM 8 and 9). This set of incompatibility issues between 2 different YM versions includes the inability of both parties to communicate via Video Call or Video Chat. Unlike Google Talk (GTalk), video calling in Yahoo Messenger has always been problematic and slow. Gtalk though does not support all webcams so check out the article linked above to see if your webcam model is supported.
Download Free Yahoo Messenger 10 for Windows XP/Vista and Mac
With the new free Yahoo Messenger 10 (download now to evaluate it yourself), the speed in video calling was allegedly improved prior to the final release. We haven’t actually tried doing a video call or conference today but we will ASAP and compare it with Gtalk’s tried and tested video chat feature. We love Gtalk, by the way, and it’s highly recommended for broadband internet connections. Skype is also one good Instant Messenger if you love chatting with your webcam on. For multi-account Instant Messaging purposes, try Digsby (IM + Email + Social Network). Just some tips.
Download Free PSPad Editor: HEX and Text Editor Replacement To Windows Notepad
Notepad is a simple text editor available in Microsoft Windows since version 1.0, released on 20 November 1985 and stayed on all versions of Windows Operating Systems we have used (Windows 3.1, 95, 97, XP, Vista) up to Windows 7. Surprisingly, Windows Notepad has not changed that much since its inclusion in the Windows Operating System. Notepad terribly lacks a lot of essential functions and new features are highly anticipated to be included in every major Windows releases and updates but only to find nothing. Notepad almost did not make it to Vista and the need for a better text editor among programmers and coders are evident.

Microsoft Office 2010 for Free? Really?
Rumor has it that Microsoft Office 14 is going to be free to use. WHAT?! We cannot believe it nor can be confirm at this point in time that Microsoft Office 2010 is free. Microsoft does not have the reputation of giving away products for free except when they want their products tested by the public like Beta releases of their new softwares. Windows Azure, a cloud computing operating system (or platform, as others prefer to call it) is one example of a “free” (until November only) Microsoft creation. Read more
