If you’ve been looking for a fast and convenient way to take screen captures from your Windows screen and you’ve not found one yet, you should try using HyperSnap-DX.

HyperSnap-DX is a screen capture and image editing tool for Windows. What makes this program very useful is the fact that it doesn’t only take screen captures from standard desktop programs; it goes all the way to capture otherwise difficult stuff like DirectX, Direct3D, 3Dfx Voodoo, and Glide mode games easily. It can also capture frames from many software DVD players and other video playing software.

The latest version, HyperSnap-DX 6.13.02 has some very useful features, that makes it better than the previous versions. Some of the top features include:

• New in ver. 6 TextSnap™ feature to capture editable text from almost anywhere on the screen, when running under Windows 2000, XP or newer. Starting from ver. 6.10 can also capture tab-delimited data for easy paste into MS Excel.
• New & powerful image capture, editing, annotation and manipulation tools.
• Snags also those difficult-to-grab screens from DirectX™ and Glide™ games.
• Image stamps, frames, drop shadow, free-hand capture, FTP server uploads, more!
• Automatic color substitution!
• Non-rectangular window capture!
• Button Capture – perfect for professional technical writers who need to snap and document dozens of buttons!
• Fully customizable user interface. Rearrange menus and toolbars any way you want, assign any keyboard shortcuts you like, tear off menus to create instant toolbars, even control HyperSnap with voice commands!

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.

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

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.

Here is a good software for you to use to detect dead links and duplicates.

AM-DeadLink detects dead links and duplicates in your Browser Bookmarks. If a Bookmark has become unavailable you can delete it from your Browser. This software is really good. It checks Bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Opera, and Netscape. With AM-Deadlink you can also download FavIcons for all your Favorites and Bookmarks.

The truth is the software is not a hundred percent accurate it could declare some links as dead when they are still active but like I have observed it doesn’t happen often, you can be sure of a 98.5% accuracy, which is more than good enough.

A new version, AM-DeadLink 3.0, has just been released with these changes:

• Windows Vista: Flip3D, thumbnail preview and correct animations supported
• Windows Vista: Use “Segoe UI” as default font
• Windows Vista: Several controls could disappear when the ALT key was pressed
• Internal check technology completely rewritten (should fix several “mysterious” bugs)
• Save all Firefox FavIcons to disk (extract embedded FavIcons)
• Sort Bookmarks with FavIcons to the top of list (Bookmarks menu)
• Several user interface tweaks
• File+Open works also for Opera/Firefox/Mozilla
• AM-DeadLink could crash on exit when a anti virus software or a desktop search software blocked the configuration files
• Minor tweaks and fixes
