Most of which are free of charge. It can be tough remembering all the great software you’ve read about in the last 6 months and if you’re new to this place – you may have missed out on something. As you know we also host competitions on our site. Competitions that let you talk directly to software developers. Giving them your ideas and suggestions. But do they follow through ?

Useful Software Review Reminders

Posted by Thomas On June - 19 - 2010

If you have been a regular reader here the last 6 months you have undoubtedly read many interesting articles and reviews.

Win a License of WinXdvd Ripper !!!

Posted by Thomas On June - 16 - 2010

Three weeks ago we launched a new sticky topic in our Forum, called The Suggestion Box. Even though we do our best to deliver the best site possible, we can always improve, and “The Suggestion Box” is the place to comment on it. Not only site improvements, but also things you’d like us to feature.

To launch this new feature we got hold of 5 more licenses of WinXdvd Ripper of which we will give away ONE license each friday to the best suggestion of the week.

This weeks winner is:

WALT

Suggestion:

Tips on securing home wireless networks could be useful. So many are still using the default settings which are wide open while some just use WEP, MAC filtering or not broadcasting the SSID which offers little to no protection.

Congratulations  Walt !

We Still have 2 more licenses to give away !!
