After developing the original Knocking picture sharing iPhone app, they now have this great new iPhone app that does the same thing with videos.

Yes, that means you can now share your baby’s first steps, your cat’s hilarious dance routine or anything completely live with another iPhone user. Check out the video demo to see how it works.

In cyberspace, our emails IDs are virtually our signatures. But somehow don’t you feel that an email ID is bereft of the singular thing called – a personality. After all, how lively is jimsmith@emailaddress.com? Even an illegible scrawl of a signature is a personality stamp. But a signature generally does not tell us much, except perhaps the gender maybe. In the kitchen soup of generic email IDs, how do you raise your cool quotient? Get a personalized email ID which is you…individualistic and unique.
The most professional but pocket pinching way is to buy your own domain address and a few email IDs with it. But that’s like an elephant gun for a mosquito. Easier and free solutions exist. Three email services which let you create email IDs with a touch of personalization.
Mail.com
Mail.com is a free web based email service which lets you pick from 250 mail addresses. Addresses fall into ‘domains’ like jobs (e.g. consultant.com, chef.com, doctor.com), hobbies (e.g. collector.org, elvisfan.com, artlover.com), locations (e.g. europe.com, usa.com), fun (e.g. cybergal.com, couple.com, witty.com).

One of the great things about using Windows is that you’ve got a near infinite amount of different applications that you can choose from. Conversely, this is also one of the worst things about the Operating System. Many of the most popular programs covered by the media and software websites are actually some of the worst in terms of advertising, system resource consumption and genral user friendliness. So what programs should you avoid ever installing and what are the best alternatives?
Winzip
Winzip used to be a really useful program… In about 1992. These days, there is no reason at all to download or install it. It’s actually pay software and only available on a trail basis, so it’ll constantly bug you to register.

There are plenty of sites available where you can find high quality wallpapers for your desktop computer. Most sites now offer high resolution pictures to keep up with the size of modern monitors.

Whether you’re running two or three monitors, we take a look at some site that can offer you a cure for your wallpaper blues.
Mandolux – What Mandolux lacks in terms of site and design features, it more than makes up for in high quality images.

Wondering what exactly Bing is? It’s Microsoft’s new attempt to modernize its old ‘Live’ search and turn more users around to using the Microsoft solution rather than Google. Live.com now transfers users directly to Bing and if you haven’t heard any mention if it yet you soon will — Microsoft has launched a multi-million dollar advertising campaign for the new search. But outside the commercials, what is there to like about Bing? We take a look at how Bing handles itself in one of the most crowded marketplaces on the net.
Search Categories
Search Categories may well become integrated into many search engines in the future, and it’s good to see Bing using them. The idea is to help people who don’t use search engines as efficiently as they could refine their search. For example, looking for a broad term like the title of the latest movie will bring up popular categories such as ‘Cast’, ‘Script’ and ‘Quotes’. It may not be a ground breaking idea and won’t be very useful for those of us used to dealing with Search Engines, but for casual net users it could prove to be an excellent way to quickly filter results.
