Free Virtual CD-ROM Emulator, Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools Alternatives

August 30, 2008 · Filed Under Software · Comment 

Stop searching for Alcohol 120% crack or serial, forget about Daemon Tools, Microsoft has a free CD-Rom emulator for Windows XP user. Undeniably Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools are both equally popular among user of virtual CD-Rom feature, if you happen to have absolutely no idea what is a virtual CD-Rom, basically what these software does is to allow users to mount ISO files as virtual CD-ROMs, without the trouble of burning them to a CD and extract it.

Who uses ISO files? Well, geeks and hardcore gamers because ISO files allows the running of games from backup copies as if the original disc were inserted into the CD-Rom drive, in short it is a CD or DVD emulator.

Free Virtual CD-ROM Emulator

We do love these tools, Daemon Tools is free but comes with ad support, Alcohol 120% comes with a 29 pound price tag, rather expensive for a simple tool. Microsoft on the other hand has a 60kb program that does the same thing, the only drawback is the lack of support (who needs it anyway?) and the minimal features packed into the program, well, at least its free.

Download Microsoft Windows XP Virtual CD control panel. As the name implies, it is only available for Windows XP, not sure about Vista, probably they had one built into it. It is not as user friendly as Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools.

Download Free Ringtones Mosquito Ringtone and Condom Ring tone

BBC is at it again, in collaboration with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation the BBC has created a unique mobile ringtone in an effort to promote the use of condoms and in turn prevent the wide spread of AIDS.

I have to admit that the ring tone is catchy, though it can be somewhat embarrassing if broadcast in public but the entire point of the project is to make condom more socially acceptable in developing worlds, sexual relationship is still pretty much a taboo in developing world.

Download the Free Condom ring tone [700kb]

Talk about ringtones, do you happen to know that ‘Mosquitotone’ for mobile phones has a high pitch which adults cannot hear? This has become the favorite ringtone for teenagers in classrooms, which is something I do not understand because won’t it be better to put the phone in vibration mode? What is the big difference?

Here too is a link to a BBC page where you can hear (and download) a 256kbps mp3 of the actual Mosquito sound - Download Mosquito Ringtone. Please note that some adults can hear the ‘Mosquito tone’, it depends on their age and hearing capabilities, it varies from person to person, if that is the case, visit freemosquitoringtones.com for a varities of Mosquito Ringtone with varies higher frequency.

Download Free Ringtones Mosquito Ringtone

From a business point of view, the ringtone market may appear to be on the decline, but it is not quite dead yet so to speak, in fact it is still relatively alive and kicking in third world countries such as Indonesia, Chile, Argentina, India, Brazil and many more. One of many reasons is the lack of internet access, availability of computers and the high cost of mp3 mobile phones.

Another common question arise is how do we convert Mp3 files into Nokia Ringtones, Samsung ringtones, Sony ringtones and others? This may seems irrelevant to first world readers but just for information sake, Media Convert is a free web converter that convert your Mp3 To Polyphonic Ringtones or any other format according to your phone, from Nokia Ringtone format to Samsung Ringtone format.

Google Book Downloader - Download Books From Google Books

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · 6 Comments 

Google Book Downloader - Download Books From Google Books

Stumbled upon this web application, it amazed me with its ability to extract and list down every single page from Google Books. I can’t be certain if this is considered illegal, but I don’t see any difference between viewing it from my browser and viewing it from an image manager.

As the name implies, Google Book Downloader does exactly what it says, it will give you a list of url of the images, what you need next is a download manager such as Download Accelerator Plus or Flashget.

Downloading the images appears to be breeze free, it was not until half way through the process Google Books decided to cut me off, possibility they system detects an ongoing unusual activity or mass bandwidth consumption that does not justify a normal reading behavior. Superman?

Is it illegal? Well, I’m won’t be too concern about that, the million dollar question is, is it worth the trouble? Just have a look at the screen shot below.

It’s like downloading a broken mp3 where it skips a beat or two every 20 seconds. Nothing is more annoying that missing pages in a book, but then again, these missing pages does not apply across the board. Having said that, do you happen to know that copyright laws are meant to last for 50 years only? This means a huge number of books that falls within this copyright free category are copyright free, good old books such as Oliver Twist and many more.

While you’re busy exploring Google Books, why not treat yourself to some free magazines?

Free Norton AntiVirus 2008 and Norton 360 v2 for 90 days

The latest promotion by Symantec, the creator of Norton AntiVirus is currently giving out complete functional version of Norton AntiVirus 2008 and Norton 360 Version 2.0 for a trial period of 90 days.

Yes, that is 90 days of the usual 15 days, and it can only be found via the following official link Download Norton AntiVirus 2008 and Norton 360 Version 2.0. I’m still puzzled about this whole idea of keeping this promotion low profile, isn’t it a great way of promoting your own product to would be customers?

p.s. Say, what if my 90 days trial period for Norton 360 is up and I proceed with the installation of Norton AntiVirus 2008? Will I be getting 180 days of free Norton product?

Download Free Norton AntiVirus 2009, No Crack, Keygen or Torrent!

August 14, 2008 · Filed Under Security · 5 Comments 

Yes, you heard me loud and clear, no fake phone activation, no crack, serial or keygen needed. This is a genuine free Norton AntiVirus or also known as Norton Security Scan made free by Google and Norton Symantec.

Download Free Norton AntiVirus 2009, No Crack, Keygen or Torrent!

Google Pack is offering a free edition of Norton Security Scan, better known as the striped down version of Norton AntiVirus 2009. Visit the official website and download the Free Norton AntiVirus - Google Pack.

What is Norton Security Scan?

Norton Security Scan is a software tool designed to help you understand if your computer is currently protected from known threats. Norton Security Scan will scan your computer and identify if there are existing viruses, worms, spyware, unwanted adware or Trojans residing on your computer. Norton Security Scan checks to see how your computer is currently protected.

So, what is the difference between Norton 360 and all the other products compare to the free edition of Norton Security Scan?

Norton Security Scan does not integrate with the operating system to provide real time protection against viruses and spyware, but instead scans your hard drive for viruses and spyware “on demand”, or at a given point in time. It only removes viruses when they are found during a scan, and does not remove them from the PC at the time of infection. It is the lack of real time protection (and integration between Norton Security Scan and the operating system) that ensures that Norton Security Scan can co-exist with other Norton products.

There you go, the only drawback for the free edition Norton Security Scan is the lack of real time protection, you can over come this by manually (right click and select ’scan with norton antivirus’) scan any files you think that are suspicious, for your information it is only available in both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

When it comes to antivirus programs, my advice is don’t go for the crack version downloaded from any torrent websites, it is not worth the risk, hackers knew that the real reason you’re downloading these security software is because your computer is not protected. Always go for the free edition if you can’t afford a genuine copy. For a list of free antivirus, visit this post.
