They can also configure the notification and adjust, how the Bench is to look and how the clay/tone sounds, with which you be anknurren can. Growl is present up-to-date in the version 1.2 and supports the newest version Mac OS X 10,6 Snow leopard. Who has an older Apple operating system and on the Growl 1,2 not to running brings, it should check on whether there is still one of the older versions. Acheson, dear Windows users, you do not have to be envious: Growl knurrt recently even also on Windows. However Growl under Windows at present still is in the beta stage and becomes so far not yet from many applications supports, while you can to be able to be on the Mac quasi from any software.

Because Quicksilver looks not simply only for files and opens programs. The small user surface accepts a lot of further instructions. They can call so also Internet sites, without opening only into the browser. Simply Web address enter and from Quicksilver’s drop down menu the desired option out-root (default value is opening the side in the browser).

Quicksilver makes also googlesearches possible directly from the Mac Desktop.

And that is only the beginning: In a similar way you add song to a iTunes Playlist, organizing files or play films. By text input you jump into hidden system attitudes and save long clicking airs. Theoretically you know their complete Panther, leopard or Schnee Kater with Quicksilver even steer - if you all instructions to notice to be able itself. For normal users that is whole one however the perfect addition for the user surface of Mac OS X.

Simply with software load download and try out. But caution: Who got accustomed once at Quicksilver, cannot soon no more without!

But Ubuntu 9,10 is not only which for Linux Freaks. Who shrinks from the change to Windows 7, an interesting free operating system gets.

That might be noticeable to most users fast boats of the system. Already after few seconds Ubuntu appears 9,10 on the screen. There itself so some operating system can do which abgucken. For technique experts: Ubuntu 9,10 uses the file system Ext4 as standard and Grub2 as a boat manager as further innovations. The Linux Kernel 2.6.31.1 is installed - thus a current system core including improved WLAN support.

The attached on-line non removable disk Ubuntu One, which offers two gigabyte memory, is practical. In Karmic Koala is the software center also again, with which programs can install and be deinstallieren more easily. Data media are not necessary for it - the new tools come directly from the Internet. For beginners: Contrary to Windows Linux with an abundance at programs comes such as Firefox and OpenOffice, which are integrated in the most current in each case version. The system is more or less complete.

In the long run that is worthwhile itself download of the new Ubuntu Linux for each PC user. Because the operating system can be started without installation directly by CD or USB stick and can thus the computer with a Windows defect be used and the data accessed. Such emergency CD should everyone in the drawer to lie have.

Oh: All Ubuntu derivatives such as Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu and Mythbuntu were also updated. The difference lies in the used user surface and is in the long run matter of taste.

White background in text processing and other Office applications can dazzle unpleasantly, if the eye got accustomed to the darkness in an area. Who works gladly without additional light, the feeling becomes. Either the eyes water, or one sees nothing more, if one looks for something off the computer screen.

For this admittedly quite pointed target group is NOC-do gymnastics perfect tools. After the installation it keeps itself discrete in the background. By click on the symbol in the menu border or by combination of keys lets it call and inverts themselves the screen. For pictures or videos that is natural nonsense, for writing or reads longer texts however ideally. They will see: White writing on dark reason can be a genuine relief for the eyes.

Admitted, other tools Windows can do that also and even give information over the blocked hardware. These information is however rather poor compared with what lists Speccy. It makes each hardware component your PC, among them naturally CCU, Motherboard, RAM, diagram map, non removable disk, drive assemblies and sound for detailed data. Additionally that indicates also the temperature of the components to tools, so that on a view can see you whether there are problems somewhere. For the analysis Speccy does not have to be installed by the way, it is available also in a portable version.

For the time being Speccy still is in the beta status and contains according to manufacturer still some of nose. As soon as the final version is approved, we will offer it naturally on software load for the free download. First can you you the Screenshots look at, which we made on one of our test systems:

With BlueScreenView the evaluation of the error messages of the Bluescreens becomes now quite comfortable. The Freewaretool snatches itself text contents of the Bluescreens and stores this in a file. If the computing farmhand runs again, you can this error message with the tools call and analyze. Useful aide flax transforms the kryptisch coded error message into plain language. In addition the software supplies detailed descriptions and error specifications.

Thus you recognize fast, which storage area is concerned and which drivers and modules of the operating system were the cause of the crash. Then you can worry for example about the update of the incorrect driver. BlueScreenView speaks even German, because a German language file translates the user surface.

Hear music, films to see, documents work on, all that is with googles chrome OS in the Internet to take place. Many users move with their computer anyway mainly in the Web, call there their enamels up, visit YouTube or communicate by chat with their acquaintance. The idea behind chrome OS is now to paint all parts of the operating system which are not necessary for the entrance in the Internet. Like that the computer is to be in seconds and the user leave started, where it wants anyway as fast as possible: The Internet.

Under chrome it will give therefore also no programs, which the user can install and beside the browser use to OS. Music player and Office applications will not give it as own to application. There is Apps so called under chrome OS. It concerns however actually linkages to appropriate Internet services - for example Googles on-line Office Docs for all applications of offices.

The advantage thereby is that the user has always access to its data and documents, all the same where it straight is. Besides is actually very fast chrome OS. Within seven seconds the system raises and is fully usable. The disadvantage is however in control of the own data. Because who gladly of does not google itself on the fingers look lets, also with chrome OS will not become warm. Around the system to use the user needs an google account. It must enter that as Login for the start of chrome OS. So it has immediately access to all its googleapplications - conveys in addition, among other things its surfdata to the search machine giant.

Chrome OS will be installable in addition not on each computer. A first test version, which googles after the first conception of its operating system published, is present only as source code. Who wants to use it, must the code only to the finished program compile, and also after it to chrome OS only assistance of special programs can be installed as virtual machine so called. The final version will only on special, of googles later certified Netbooks to run, similarly as Googles Handy operating system Android, which is installed on certain mobile phones likewise only.

The first view of Googles operating system is promising much. Chrome OS is very fast and perfect for the fixed entrance in the Internet. Work leaves itself with the system even also, if one gets involved in the use of Googles on-line Office. In addition, in it is the large disadvantage: Only who does not google itself fully entrusted and also to the transmission of its surfdata at googleserver anything to object has, should seize during the introduction 2010 to a Netbook with chrome OS.

The Defragmenter goes faster, if you arrange the non removable disk from the outset systematically. Removed to it all data from the second partition; it burns best on DVD or shifts it on an external USB drive assembly. Then administration, computer administration” opens the data media administration and deletes the empty partition over “start, system control, achievement and maintenance. Under Windows Vista/7 you find the data media administration over “system and security, administration, computer administration”. Furnishes then several new partitions, which you use for different file types. Programs such as GParted or Paragon partition manager help you thereby. Uses small partitions for small files such as texts and photos, medium sized for MP3s and large partitions only for large video files and software installations.

The fragmenting behavior of the non removable disk depends very strongly on the life span of the stored data. The degree of fragmenting is high with data, which you often delete or shifts and again produced. It is small with data, which you only now and then read or archive. It is worthwhile itself to keep data different life span separately in order to always receive with the Defragmentieren the best achievement.

Update: You find a detailed Workshop to GParted with Who would like itself to add a complete toolbox for error analysis, protection and Partitionierung of its non removable disk, also times the free open SOURCE project should look at itself Parted Magic with It concerns one directly of CD startingable Linux emergency CD, which Festplatte Tools still further beside GParted contains.

1. Total COMM other: Totally COMM other Total COMM other is a popular and high performance replacement for the Windows Explorer. Unfortunately the appearance of the flocking commodity is easily antiquated. The surface works very overloaded and the listings is pushed.

2. VirtualDub: Virtual Dub, free software for video cut. Who notes videos at the PC, to cut or otherwise work on wants, is well served with VirtualDub. Astheten will have spartanisch icon the little joy with the grey, tristen surface and.

3. MP3Find: MP3Find seeks out doubled song on the non removable disk. Icon closely gedrägt and mirror effects, which are not favorable the clarity straight, bring MP3Find into the list of the ugly programs. For clearing up the MP3-Sammlung there is however hardly a better Freeware.

4. Twisted Brush: With Twisted Brush works of art at the PC develop. With Twisted Brush one can so correctly realize its artistic vein at the PC times. Unfortunately the grey program surface with the simply arranged symbols few is inspiring.

5. QuickDic: QuickDic, the free interpreter for English. For fast translations and for playful learning of words Quick Dic is prima, even if the Design reminds on long past times - Windows 2000 lets greet.
