“So I just got Windows 7. Now what?”

Being a tech-savvy user of Windows for quite some time, I have seen my share of useful applications that has made my overall computing experience easier and more productive. Granted there are an extensive assortment of useless applications hiding in every corner of the web, I shall spare you the time of trial-and-error and wasting your time installing and uninstalling garbage applications. So if you’re someone who just got Windows 7 (most of these applications are still applicable to Vista and XP users so keep reading) or have a near-empty installation of Windows wondering how this new operating system can make your life better, then look no further. You my friend have just found a guide that will turn Windows into a whole new experience.

Yup, thats including the video collection you have hidden within folders of folders so that your girlfriend won’t find them.  After this bad-boy is installed, you won’t be seeing messages like the one to the left any more.

Cheap Digital Audio on your Netbook or Laptop

“I want to play high quality digital music on my home theater system using my netbook.”

Do you own a laptop/netbook that you use next to your home theater system?  Almost all netbooks and very few laptops have digital out.  Lets face it, analog out simply doesn’t cut it.   At loud volumes the novice user can tell the difference between analog and digital because there’s no additional noise created from the PC to receiver connection.  If you’re a gamer you’ve probably already found a way around this by putting music on a USB drive and playing it through your PS3 or Xbox. Unfortunately this simply doesn’t match the libraries of music and audio player software thats loaded on your computer. Most people just settle with analog and use their headphone out to connect their computer to the receiver.  This is definitely the  quickest fix but you deserve better. read more
