Free Software

We live in freedom. Or those who read this does. With freedom comes free things, the best of them are softwares. Free softwares. I just read PC Mag's top 167 free software for 2010 and am currently getting used to them.

First on the list was the universal printer driver from Xerox. I move a lot these days and I don't want to insert my USB in different computers (it now has a virus - poor thing) so I want to print directly from my buddy (laptop).

Then there was express scribe. I want to be a transcriptionist so I need this small great program. I'm still looking at voice recognition software out there but I guess this would do for now.

Third was Google Desktop. It functions similarly as its online counterpart, but searches only my buddy or its activity. I now know where I've hidden my porn just by searching for it. Easy, fun and reliable.

Then there was Last Pass. Though I only have two passwords for the moment or deviations from them, I installed it for the auto fill features.

I'm keeping some distance to the google calendar and another software that keeps a record of your contacts. I'll post some more softwares if I install more.
