If you are a sucker for games with business twists, then you are going to love this one, it is called supermarket mania.

Supermarket Mania gives you an opportunity to show your big business rivals what you can do as you turn five small time grocery stores into huge successes. Talk about making something out of nothing!

This is the catch, in order to run your competition out of town, you must beat 50 stock-until-you-drop levels, reloading shelves faster than customers can clear them and upgrading your stores between stages. The challenges come fast in this lovely time management game.

The only twist in this tale is the price, $19.95 but not to worry you can enjoy the free version for like an hour or so.

Really worth checking out! Check http://www.alawar.com/games/supermarket-mania

Well, the news that everyone has been waiting for with baited breath is finally here! The new version of Mozilla Firefox was released on July 1 and it clearly shows that Mozilla is continuing to amaze with all of the freeware that they release for public consumption.

Firefox was originally a redesign of an older browser component that Mozilla had been using and ever since it was introduced it had really taken off to the point where a significant number of people are now using Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer, a piece of software that remains the majority choice in the overall marketplace. Mozilla is written using XUL language and has all of the modern browser amenities such as functionality in areas of dealing with popup advertisements and download facilitation. In addition to that, it also allows you to browse with tabs in a single browser window and search with higher accuracy.

All of these things combine to make an overall internet browsing experience that is hard to beat and this is why Firefox continues to gain in popularity as time goes by. The latest version of Firefox addresses a number of known issues while at the same time including a few new things, but overall the same Firefox look and feel that people have come to love is still present.

There are many different free utilities currently available that address the issue of manipulation of mp3 files that you might have, but MP3Tag is a special piece of software because of all of the amazing options that it has. Not only can you use this piece of software to rename the files you have based on what is in their tags, but you can also use it to swap characters in tags and/or filenames, move information back and forth and create wholly independent play lists based on the song files that you have on your hard drive. All of that functionality is combined into one program that has constant support and frequent updates.

The latest update of this software was released on June 6, 2008 and has many new added points of functionality that serve to make the software even better. A good example of this is the fact that you can now create or change cover art for different albums and singles as well as display fields with similar values separately so that you have a better idea of the information that is attached to each file. Additionally, the filtering options on the software have been upgraded extensively, giving users more direct control over the files that they choose to display and manipulate using the software’s graphical user interface.

With the way the modern world works, one thing that people can now do is take their laptop and wireless card attachment with them wherever they go. Because there are so many places nowadays that offer Wi-Fi support, it is quite easy to see how a person could easily keep track of all of their worldly affairs through the use of a little bit of modern technology.

However, all is not fine and dandy with Wi-Fi technology, which is why your computer does need protection and security when you use the different hotspots that might be available to the public in your area. These hotspots are configured for public use and unless you actually want some stranger potentially sniffing around your computer, you need a program like Hotspot Shield at your service.

The latest version of Hotspot Shield, released on May 28, 2008, allows you to have all of the protection that you could need when using these hotspots without putting any kind of dent in your wallet. The software is free and as you use it you will find that it is all the protection that you will ever end up needing.

Protara is a piece of software that is really one in a million. There are not that many software packages out there that are free, allow you to do development in a way that is extremely easy and at the same time have an overall interface that is extremely easy to use. Most free software packages are lacking in at least one of those two areas and Protara’s ability to have both present is something that makes it very special indeed.

Protara is a software package that is used for the creation of applications that will eventually be used either in Windows or in Windows Mobile. It supports multiple versions of both operating systems and in addition to that the Integrated Development Environment that the application provides you with is really amazing. This would be a software package worth purchasing even if there was a price attached to it, but the fact that you can get it for free is definitely something that really does add to how special this software is.

Protara was created by Purpose Built Software for the specific purpose of allowing others to create their own applications for Windows and more information on the May 28th release of this program can be found at the software’s homepage at http://www.protara.com

When you consider all of the excellent software packages out there that have the ability to help you with problems that you might have regarding spyware and viruses, there are not that many programs that can do this for free. While the Virtual Sandbox is normally a piece of software that would cost you money to purchase, they also release a free version of their software that has lower functionality, but can still get the job done for a cost that anyone can afford.

The Virtual Sandbox’s free edition is a piece of software that you can still use for privacy protection, safe isolation of infected files and their deletion and a number of different methods for blocking programs that are potentially harmful from ever making it into your computer in the first place. The latest version of the free Virtual Sandbox, released just a few days ago, includes additional functionality in all of these areas so that you can really see what the Sandbox is capable of doing.

Whether you are interested in doing so for school, work or any other occasion, getting software that will help you keep time should be a top priority of yours. There are many free pieces of software out there that will help you with this, but the latest version of eHour, released on May 15, 2008, is one of the better ones that you can use.

eHour not a freewate, but it is open-source, allowing you to make any changes to the program that you would like to see directly. It is primarily intended for project-based businesses and for that reason contains a number of different points of functionality intended to allow those businesses to keep track of the projects being worked on as well as the people that work on the projects and how much time they commit to each one. Ultimately, the user-friendliness of the software combines with the functions that it has to allow for powerful project tracking over time. Because of this, the software can also be used to keep track of schoolwork and other projects that might turn up from time to time and for that reason is just as good for individual use as it is for business use.

One of the best aspects of the free software revolution that has been going on in recent years is the fact that software packages have been spawned from it that allow you to complete a certain task with a lot of detail and an excellent final product.
