HyperDesktop is a free, easy way to capture, edit and share screenshots on the internet right from your desktop. Basically, all you have to do is take a screenshot and paste the link online. Simply, use one of the customizable shortcut keys for either of the three different types of captures; Entire screenshot, Selective Screenshot, or Window Screenshot.

As soon as you snap a screenshot, an optional edit dialog will display allowing you to draw on the image with the pen tool or add text.

When you’re happy with the results, click OK and HyperDesktop automatically uploads the screenshot to Imgur and copies the URL to the clipboard for easy sharing. It doesn’t just have to be Imgur, it can also upload straight to your site or storage location via FTP. You can also save screenshots locally.

Hyperdesktop works on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 both 32 and 64-bit.

If you’ve been looking for a quicker way to take and upload screenshots, check out Hyperdesktop.

Ever think about alternate ways of selecting color in Photoshop? Could there be a tool that allows us to precisely select a certain color? Like a color wheel? You bet, it’s called, “Coolorus”. Coolorus allows you to choose colors from an easy to use color wheel. It offers different Color Schemes, Color Modes, has the ability to work with Background or Stroke colors, and claims to be faster than lightning and bug free unlike other color pickers. It’s the “Adobe extension everyone has been waiting for”. Available for Adobe Flash and Photoshop for both Mac and Windows as an extension. 

Features:

Color Modes:

Coolorus has both a full spectrum and simple color mode.

Color Schemes:

Right now, you have the ability to try it out a couple days before v1.0 is released by the end of this week. Once v1.0 is released, there will be a very small charge for this extension, nothing more than $10 bucks. So if you’re looking for a better color wheel to use in Photoshop or Flash, give Coolorus a try! http://www.coolorus.com

Who better to use than the people who make Windows itself. Microsoft Security Essentials provides you with all the protection you need.

“The anti-annoying, anti-expensive, anti-virus program”

It’s extremely simple to use as it uses a simple red, yellow, green color code platform. When it’s green, you’re secured. If yellow or red, you may have some threats you need to take care of and remove. This can all be done in the taskbar without having to open the application itself. And you’ll only be alerted when you there’s specific actions you need to take. Why doesn’t this come pre-installed with Windows in the first place?

Some virus programs out there think they can just barge in and use all your computer’s resources. Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly in the background as it performs scans and updates when the PC is idle. Your PC will still be snappy when you’re using it.

In order to use this great anti-virus software for free, you need to be running genuine Windows. If you bought Windows or a computer with Windows, you should have genuine Windows.

This’ll work on all versions of Windows, XP and up.

As for me, I will no longer be dishing out good money for antivirus software when there’s a great free alternative. Of course if your happy with what you have, stick with it. Just my recommendation of a great free alternative.

What anti-virus software do you use? Do you think it’s worth the cost of what your paying for it? What do you think about Microsoft Security Essentials? Share your thoughts in the comments!

In this tutorial I will show you the basics of creating a karaoke video in Sony Vegas Pro 9. I show you a simple more easy way and a longer way. The longer way could turn out to be a time consuming process but you can achieve some pretty good results doing it this way. There’s probably software out there that can also achieve the same results automatically but I’m sure(hope) theirs some of us that don’t want to spend that kind of money and do it all ourselves. Oh, and sorry if I got annoying during this video. I got a little carried away in some parts. Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more!
