Humble Ebook Bundle II with Little Brother!
It's time for another Humble Ebook Bundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/)! Once again, I was honored to serve as
volunteer curator of the Humble Ebook Bundle, a project from the Humble Indie Bundle people who've made Internet history by bundling
together awesome, DRM-free media and letting you name your price for it. We did the first Humble Ebook Bundle last fall (with my novel
Pirate Cinema) and made over $1.25 million in two weeks (!). The new Ebook Bundle is even cooler. Here's the lineup:
- The Last Unicorn (deluxe edition), by Peter Beagle
- Just a Geek, by Wil Wheaton
- Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow
- Boneshaker, by Cherie Priest
- Spin, by Robert Charles Wilson
- Shards of Honor, by Lois McMaster Bujold
As with all the bundles, there is a secret stash of releases in the wings for week two; if your payment is higher than the average at the
time you make it, you get them for free (and they are sweet!). Otherwise, you can always get them by topping up your payment. And as
always, there's charities involved -- you can earmark some or all of your payment for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child's Play, and
the Science Fiction Writers of America Emergency Medical Fund.

Another security software testing organisation, Virus Bulletin, says Security Essentials’ performance is sufficient to justify its VB100 rating, which can only be attained by software that “prove[ s] it can detect 100% of malware samples listed as 'In the Wild' by the WildList Organization” without generating any false positives.
The desktop publishing software SpringPublisher has just been upgraded to version 3.0, and the team behind the product was nice enough to provide us with a review copy and ten software product keys for a give away. The program is offered as a free and professional version, with the free version limited to personal use and without some of the features of the pro version.

Have you ever suffered through the pain and agony of a hard drive failure? To you, it's pretty straightforward -- one day your computer is humming along smoothly, and the next day it won't boot at all. But what you may not know is that, beyond the capabilities of your human senses, a whole host of little warning signs and other signals can actually tell you when hard drive failure is imminent! That's why Hard Disk Sentinel is so important.
Clipstory
Access Your Full History of Clipboard Items
On any given day, you copy and paste so many items that you probably don't even think about it. But just imagine how much more productive you'd be if you could copy and paste more than a single item to the Windows clipboard at a time! Clipstory gives you that exact functionality, and so much more.
With Clipstory, every item you copy to the clipboard is saved in a history file. Later on, you can quickly cycle through your entire history of copied text, files, images, audio and binary data! Not only does Clipstory allow quick access to frequently used clips, you also have the ability to tag items, see extra details about each clip, and save clipped items to disk.
But wait, it gets better! You can set up Clipstory to automatically save clipped items to folders based on their data type, even going as far as to instantly convert image files to your desired format!
