Free programs for geeks

There are a lot of programmers out there who have a great program and need exposure to be able to sell it. So they offer a free version that doesn't have all the bells and whistles for free. They don't offer tech suppot for the free program and you may not get every high end function but these programs are all usefull, free, and ones that I personally use. No "30 day trial crap" either.
  • AVG Antivirus offers a free version - you have to navigate a plethora of links to actually get the free version as opposed to the "free trial". The trial version is the full version for limited time, then you have to buy. Keep looking for free version.
  • Top Style CSS Editor Free version is great for designing your own Cascading style sheets. Scroll to the bottom for the "lite" version. Buy all the bells and whistles for pros for only about $80
  • CCleaner Originally called CrapCleaner, gets the junk from your trunk. Empties temp files, caches and gets rid of cookies (you can mark the ones you want to keep). Also helps speed startup time and cleans up the registry. A MUST HAVE.
  • Defraggler Is a great defragging tool from the folks that brought us CCleaner. You will especially love it if you are fed up with Vista's "we might get this done in a few minutes or a few days" approach.
  • IsoBuster can help you make backup copies of DVDs and CDs. Yuo can get a diskimage and then record onto a new disc. Even works with Blue Ray. Save your originals from the abuse of scratches and whatnot. Back up all your media.
  • Morpheus Is really fun - morph pics! You can show your kids "grow" using school photos, make funny faces, lots of uses. be careful of adware in the license agreement - read before you click.
  • Force Unleashed Producer Haden Blackman Resigns from LucasArts

  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed executive producer and and writer Haden Blackman has resigned from LucasArts. Blackman announced that he is moving on after a 13 year career with the studio (via IGN).

    In a statement, Blackman thanked LucasArts and said that he's "really grateful for their ongoing support."

    "While the decision to leave LucasArts did not happen overnight or come easily, I really feel that now is the best time for me to move on and explore new creative challenges and I look forward to the next phase of my career," he said.

  • Worms Reloaded Launching August 26

  • With the beta testing phase having ended, Worms Reloaded now has a release date. The newest game in the franchise will be launching in August on the PC and Mac.

    Worms Reloaded marks the franchise's first 2D appearance on the PC since 2001, when Worms World Party was released. More recent Worms games have been developed for consoles and downloadable services like Xbox Live Arcade.

    Worms Reloaded is based on Worms 2 Armageddon, which was originally released for the Xbox 360, but is being billed as an "extended edition." It's currently available for pre-order on Steam.
