Backgammon is a great game that has been around for a very long time, long before computers were even dreamed about. But you can now enjoy this game in a new way on your PC. Enter Backgammon 3D!
Backgammon 3D (or 3D Backgammon as it’s commonly known) is a 3D visualization of a classical board game – Backgammon. Now you can play with your computer not only on a flat screen, but also enjoy 3D operations – rotating the board, looking at the board from the side of your opponent, and other cool features.
One useful thing about the board rotation feature is that it helps you to see the game from different perspectives and this makes the game more interesting; you’ll definitely enjoy the game better this way.

PDF is the ideal electronic package to contain everything from spreadsheets, presentations, and brochures, to photographs, rich graphics, and more. So it is necessary to have a good software that can help you create PDF files with ease.
Aloaha PDF Suite is the perfect tool to create your PDF Documents. One click is enough. Just print your document to any of your printers and it will convert the print job to a PDF Document, which you can save, email or publish to an exchange public folder. Of course you can opt for 40 or 128 encryption and digitally sign the PDF automatically.
The great thing about this software is that PDF Signer and PDF Editor are included in the Aloaha PDF Suite Pro package – no extra license costs!
Though this package is great, it is not a freeware, to get the full version you will have to come up with nothing less than $49. In case you are thinking, there are other free software like PDFCreator that does the same thing. Let me point this out to you: PDFCreator doesn’t support encrypting documents with smartcard/certificates; hardly will you find a free generator that does that. If all you want is a cheap and easy way to send a CV to someone, PDFCreator or OpenOffice will do the job but if you want a secure method to distribute and control sensitive or important documents, this suite does the job a lot cheaper than Acrobat.
Ready to try it out! CLICK HERE to learn more about its features and download the commercial demo.
NOTE:
- The evaluation version is fully functional and works without any serial key. The only limitation is a watermark in the left upper corner of every PDF Page
- It works well with Windows 2003/NT/XP. NT4 Users should read the NT4 FAQ before installing Aloaha
- All monitored printer have to remain on status paused!
- Some features such as the digital signature API, the signature hotfolder “tosign” and the XP/2003 FAX Connector require an evaluation key. You have to contact the publisher if you need to evaluate one of these features.
CHECK OUT THE TRIALVERSION!

YamiPod is a freeware standalone iPod manager which allows you to manage the content of your iPod without the need to have iTunes installed. It needs no installation and can be run directly from your iPod. So,for example, it doesn’t matter if it is not your computer where you want to run it, you still can!
It comes with many useful features such as iPod ‘notes’ editing features, exporting your song list to HTML, management for duplicate files, the ability to locate lost music files, AAC file support and of course PC to iPod synchronization! It can automatically download the latest version and includes a built in music player.
This is a worthwhile alternative to the official iPod client which many people think is bloated and overrated. Personally i think iPods are overrated anyway as mp3 players existed long before they claimed the market, but if you have an iPod, this alternative is definitely worth checking out!
It’s freeware and you can get more info and download it from here.

Downloading multimedia files at times can be a pain in the neck but not if you have an effective download manager. GetWebPics is download manager for multimedia files. This application will easily allow you to download pictures, digital photos, wallpapers, flash, movies and music from Internet.
It will help you to collect your own galleries of celebrities, babies, cars, etc.I like the built-in picture viewer, thumbnail viewer and fullscreen slideshow with transition effects that helps one to preview and manage pictures (copy, print, set as wallpaper, send by e-mail, etc.).
One thing I appreciate most about GetWebPics is the fact that the program can download pictures (or other media content) from password-protected sites. Web authorization based on forms is supported.
You can start downloading pictures (or other media content) quickly, simply after inputting the address of the first page with gallery. Smart page analyzer follows every link on the page or script and downloads the desired media content.
It is worthy of note that you can tune the program to direct downloading sequences of media files if you notice address media file regularity.
