    VLC one of the best media players around has finally hit 1.0

    What does it mean? A few new features and it'll play all manner of media files as it usually does I suppose.

    I subscribed some time ago to "The geek stuff" newsletter coz they have a lot of interesting tips about Linux. And this morning I get one mail presenting a free backup software for Windows.

    Free Windows Backup Software – GFI Backup Home Edition Freeware

    download here:

    Free backup software for Windows - GFI Backup Home Edition

    As I don't use Windows I cannot say more, but it can be useful for some people on this forum. And it's free.

    If you want to compare the two, why not use:

    Bing vs. Google

    As ive bought myself a PC in the last few weeks for the kids to learn on and use for a media centre Ive started looking at Windows apps again.

    This is one from MS themselves to try and diagnose/solve some of the more common PC probs that you might encounter.

    Im posting this on the Windows and Mac thread as its a great tip for creating strong passwords.

    Just spotted this on a blog. Its an easy way to create and remember strong passwords.

    For example you need something thats easy to remember, say "teakdoorrocks" for the example password. To make this into a strong password simply use the key on the keyboard to the right (or left) of what youre typing to make it strong so "teakdoorrocks" becomes "yrslfppttpvld"

    Strong(er) password thats easy to remember

    As Ive got a Winbox Ive started to notice little things that OSX does that Windows doesnt and finding replacements for it. The latest one is this

    Antibody Software - WizMouse makes your mouse wheel work on the window under the mouse

    Handy little thingy that lets you scroll a window thats underneath another one.
