When I look for topics worthy of PCTips3000, I usually avoid programs that could and should get a nice review on Download3000, but today I will tell you about a piece of code that will surely get there as well. The reason? PicPick, today’s subject, is a tool that you really have to get NOW, [...]

Today it seems I’m in no mood for painting. Just look at the mess below! Oh, well, I can’t say I’m much of a painter, either, but sometimes talent can be lured out with the help of the right tools, and today I really have to tell you about such a tool, because it’s free [...]

For me, IrfanView is the screen capture, image viewer, batch processor, image editor, all-in-one package I couldn’t live without but, sometimes, I feel the need to try new things. Nothing unusual here, especially since I always get back to it. On the other hand, I would be a liar to claim that I found no [...]

No matter the Windows version you’re using, there’s always something better than the tools included with it, at least for most tasks I can think of. While Windows Vista and Windows 7 improved the screen capture process a lot, by adding the Snipping Tool, I think there’s still room for another solution. In Windows XP, [...]

I hate file converters. Do you really want to know why? First, it’s because those junky converters available for ridiculous prices and full of spyware, and second, there’s also that file formats support part – no need to get into this deeper, because that would surely raise my blood pressure! Instead, I will give you [...]

Each time someone asks me about free online music, a little part of me dies. The reason is that I just can’t understand how is it possible for people who have been online for over two years to ask such questions. It’s like being in your home town and asking directions from strangers, really! Fortunately, [...]

For those using more than a computer (think about the desktop/laptop combo, for example), having a portable apps suite around can come in really handy. After all, why bother installing all those programs one by one, when you can simply download a single package and keep it on a thumb drive? If you’re really lazy, [...]

I love freebies, as long as they don’t come from a political party or a company that I really hate (I don’t think there’s enough money on this planet to make me eat something made by McDonald’s, for example), so bumping into a free software that was previously priced at $29.95 is a serious reason [...]

Until today, I strongly believed that mobile phones with included cameras were nothing more but one of those gadgets with features that nobody really needs. What made me change my mind? Well, I still think that, if you want to take some pictures, the mobile phone is a “no-go,” but when it comes to streaming [...]

In the last year, I got tired to see so many Twitter clones that simply copied the original without even trying to improve it. I don’t know what you think, but I bet there’s a lot to be improved there, especially since I really believe that Twitter is one of the lamest successful online services [...]
