Ten free apps to install on every new PC

IT Angle

These should have been in the list. Foorbar, Picasa, AVG, and Miranda IM

As others have stated ... quite simply what the hell is ITunes doing in there remove it now!! Instead what about foobar2000 now that is excellent! it was a bit buggy when it was first released but its come along way since then and now i consider it the best music player/library tool out there.

Picasa for image viewing you can also sync your albums online for people to see.

And AVG, you have to have some sort of AV in the list this is the pick of the freebies to be honest.

I would also replace Pidgin with Miranda IM which is simple, clean and supports all the main social and IM networks such as Facebook, MSN, Skype, and Google Talk.

Done. :D

This product is shite dont buy it

I bought this twice from 2 seperate places and vga broke on it both times (message came up in windows saying there is a problem with USB device and it cannot be recognised).... Waste of 80 quid. It is meant to be a good bit of kit from a respectable manufacturer. Disapointed. Thats all i have to say.

Register Hardware revamped

Thumb Up

Needed it.

Not that i didnt like the old look but the new look definately is alot more eye catching and has a better overall feel to it.

I would like to see more hardware reviews specifically in area of Computers, I have been very impressed the reviews and articles REDHardware has produced this year. Well done and keep up the good work. :D

1 Solution Install Ubuntee Eee From Pen Drive

Dont bother with this config rubbish...

Ubuntu Eee will work with Acer Aspire One. Thats what I did, it installed all drivers automatically and runs like a dream. All the info you need is here:

And can be installed from pen drive easily. Once installed you can also add any software package easily at the click of a button, VLC, Skype, Azureus etc...

Good Luck.

I'd like one, but i don't £600 like one.

I have seen this on play.com for £500 but even on contract its going to be pricey I would say at least £40/Month over 18 Months. Does anyone know what providers will be issueing this phone on contract?
