For all those  people who use Google Analytics and want access to their Analytics account even when they are away from their computer, SynergyTech has come up with a great solution: Google Analytics Mobile (GAM)

GAM is not a freeware and hence we don’t love it that much but still its worth sharing with our readers and if anyone of you know of any other easy to use app for Google Analytics for mobile devices, they can share it with us here in comments.

In any case, lets look at GAM. It is an application for Windows Mobile running cellphones. Its main features include: Showing common reports, supporting accounts with multiple profiles, building new reports (use any data from analytics), securely encrypting your communication with the Google Analytics servers, and optimized for limited data bandwith requirements of cellular data networks.

Since childhood, my greatest worry used to be the driver installation cd’s of my computer. Since internet was not that common in those times and where it was available, the speed was so slow that it would hardly open the main page of yahoo. In those times, our only hope used to be the driver disks after formatting the computer.

DriverEasy is a free app that performs a deep scan of your system to detect the hardware and find their drivers. Using this app has two benefits; finding latest drivers and installing the drivers in case the CDs are lost or the driver folder has been mistakenly deleted.

1)  Run the program, hit Scan Now and it will start scanning for the hardware and their drivers.

2) The result from the scan will show you all the required drivers for the hardware found on your computer.

Avast is a major antivirus contender that comes free (not the pro version). I have been lately using AVG and ESET and now switched to Avast to test if it is any good. You know what?? They are all the same apart from some kind of difference every Antivirus on planet earth asks to update new definitions on daily basis, usually they’re light (hey am not talking about Norton ) and do reasonable job to weed out viruses, torjans and other yada yada.

Avast is a popular Anitvirus given the fact that they have joined hands with Google and it will be available in Google Pack application’s package.Currently Avast is only available for selected languages including German but not English. Avast replaced Norton Security Scan in the language versions of Google Pack.

You can download Avast 5.0 free version which obviously does not offer the features that come with Avast 5.0 Professional, like a new sandboxing option, command line controls or push updates.

Avast 5.0 comes with a total new face and you will find the new interface not that boring! plus improvements to the antivirus scanning engine, performance and memory, disk and cpu usage have also been enhanced

The latest beta of Avast 5 can be downloaded from the Avast website. The final version of Avast Antivirus 5.0 is reported to be released very soon and will then be available for download.

Everyone must face the problem of enlarging small picture files and hence face quality issues.  Most image editors make an attempt to smooth and sharpen, and some add a bit of “noise” to enlarged images. However, SmillaEnlarger works differently then traditional software’s  as it take tiny bitmap files and turn them into usable, full-size images. According to test conducted by Andrew Brandt:

To test the app, I took some screenshots of standard-sized application and file icons in Windows. A typical icon image is 32 by 32 pixels when displayed at desktop resolutions of 72 dpi–pretty small and, when you enlarge them, they look pretty chunky, like billboards made of Lego bricks. SmillaEnlarger’s algorithm does a remarkable job of turning even an incredibly minute bitmap into something close to a blurry snapshot. While this is the full extent of its abilities, you might want to keep SmillaEnlarger in your digital imagery toolkit for a photographic rainy day.
