Mediamax is another online storage service. But this one is free, yes i know some of them offer a free limited service. But this one offers 25 GB of space for free! Pretty impressive indeed! Some of the features are batch uploading, batch downloading, backup, and file synchronization.

They do also offer a paid service, but you can sign up totally free ( no credit card required or anything) to the free service for your 25GB of space.

Now for the catch! The free space has one catch and that’s that you can only download or share 1GB per month and it has a filesize limit of 25 MB. Still not bad at all, depending on your needs and considering its free. If you want more you’ll have to get your wallet out.

If you have an email address (and who doesn’t these days?), sooner or later you might end up entering it in a guestbook or forum, or even having it on your own website so that people can contact you. The problem with this is that programs spammers set loose on the Internet called spambots, will find your email address sooner or later and this will lead to you receiving spam emails.

Enter the Enkoder! This is a small online tool (or downloadable if you are a Mac user) which converts your email address into special code that those pesky spambots can’t read as being an email address.

The spambots won’t detect your email address, so will completely ignore it. Meanwhile your email address still appears the same as before, but won’t end up in the hands of the spammers. Check it out.

ACDSee has long been known as a very good photo viewing, managing, organizing and enhancing program. This latest version, ACDSee 9, is no exception.

So you’re wondering what Pamela for Skype is? Well, its a digital personal assistant for Skype. For example when you start a call on Skype it asks if you want to record the call. It then says “this call is not being recorded”, but that message can also be heard by the person you are talking too! So be careful!

It’s relatively easy to navigate, with a simple to understand interface. The message center is great as it allows you to see at a glance how many voicemails, skype voice mails, skype recordings, custom recordings or birthday notifications you have. It’s available in 4 versions, each with its own set of unique features, one version even supports Skype video.

Some of the features it adds to Skype include:

• Call Recording
• Video Recording
• Answering Machine
• VideoMail
• Emotion Sounds
• Auto Chat Reply
• Birthday Reminders

EverNote is note taking software, it’s also capable of recognizing digital ink (handwritten notes on a tablet) and multiple other formats, as well as images, emails, html, and supports custom templates.

It stores your notes, handwritten memos, ideas, brainstorms, etc. It stores them in chronological order and you can also create categories to help you better organise things. As well as this, it also has a powerful search function.

A cool, useful little feature I like is the ability to download a Firefox extension or Internet Explorer button at the homepage, so you can instantly select webpage text and “add to evernote”. It can also encrypt your notes for added security and peace of mind.

For the full list of features, which is pretty impressive for this neat little program,(spell checker, synchronisation, support for a wide range of pen tablets, drag and drop support, and more) check out the homepage here where it’s available in both free and pro versions.

At first glance, you would assume this was just a flashy pong clone, but you’d be very wrong. In fact, the ball rarely even touches a paddle in this game. Instead, you propel it back and forth by using skillful bursts of colorful energy. It’s a fast-paced very colorful game that’s a blast to play once you get the hang of it.

You can control the flow of the plasma, with the left mouse button and you can gather the power with the right mouse button and release it at a critical moment. You really should experience and see it with your own eyes to fully appreciate the game. Anyway, it’s completely free, and includes an option to play with your friends.

NOTE: You may need a Pentium 4 with an average graphics card to appreciate its quality. You can download it free from here.
