100-downloads.com | Top 100 downloads of free software for Windows XP & Windows 7. The Best Free Software of 2012. For years, PCMag has brought you an ever-bigger, ever-better list of desktop software that will cost you absolutely nothing. As of last year, we shook things up a bit. Instead of an annual look at the best free software, we went monthly. Since software can cost thousands, you might wonder why and how you can score immensely useful programs for free. This happens for the very good business reason that developers often try to gain traction with the public by giving away their product, or at least a "lite" version of it, in the hope that you'll upgrade to a paid version. We're throwing in all the worthy apps that run on Windows 7 and 8, the latest MacOS, and of course, the cloud-based Web apps that run in a browser like Chrome, Firefox, or IE to use anywhere. Look for a new category of free software titles every month.

Topics from 2014: 20 Useful OS X Tips. Because we are all different, operating system developers always put more than one way of doing things in their systems. One example is there’s often keyboard shortcuts, menus and toolbars in applications for doing the same thing. Consequently, it’s very easy to get into the habit of doing things a particular way without ever learning other ways. Hopefully for the average user there might be at least one tip here that you weren’t aware of and that will be useful to you.

Otherwise, I officially re-title this article: “20 Useful OS X Tips for Beginners and Switchers”.

The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness.

As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. If you’re that type of person and are looking for a few extra skills to pick up, or if you’re a newbie aiming to get a handhold on the honor that is geekhood, read on to find out what skills you need to know.
