Got a Windows PC? Part 2 of "Free software for Windows"

Here’s my continuation of the FREE SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS post.

  • OpenOffice.Org: Get rid of Excel and Powerpoint
  • Anti-Virus: AVG Free, Avast!, ClamWin. Take your pick I’ve only tried AVG Free and Avast!
  • Bit Comet: I think this is the fastest torrent client out there
  • GIMPShop: move over Photoshop, there’s an open source photo manipulation software in town
  • Media Players: K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, VLC Media Player
  • Juice: download podcasts with this baby instead of iTunes
  • Audacity: essential for those that want to create their own podcasts
  • Filezilla: screw WinFTP!
  • MusikCube: this apparently replaces iTunes. With the recent improvements in Media Player 11, I don’t know why you’d want to switch to anything else
  • Handbrake: rip your DVDs on to your PC. Handy for laptop users who don’t want to lug around their DVD collection around
  • NASA Worldwind: give Google Earth a kick where the SUN DON’T SHINE with Worldwind. Supposed to be waaaaaaaaay better!
  • GnuCash: don’t bother with MS Money or Quicken
  • Notepad2: a leap from MS’s Notepad
  • PDFCreator: get rid of that hog named Adobe Acrobat
  • Windows Live Mail Desktop(BETA): I know what you’re thinking, but this is TOTALY AWESOME! It’s better than Thunderbird because you can use it with ALL THE MAJOR WEB-MAIL sites out there! Hotmail, Yahoo! Beta, GMail, just to name a few.
  • Windows Live Writer(BETA): again, I can’t stress enough AWESOMENESS!! You can not only update your Windows Live Space, but Blogger and others blogs which I haven’t really experimented with. A wonderful tool!

Enjoy!!

Taking a Stand for Privacy: Why We Said Goodbye to Google

In early April 2020, a significant decision was made at Mercola.com that sent shockwaves through the digital realm: we deliberately blocked Google from indexing our articles and breaking news blog posts. This move was not arbitrary; it was a conscientious step taken in response to the growing concerns about the invasive nature of surveillance capitalism, spearheaded by Google. The Era of Surveillance Capitalism For years, we've been sounding the alarm about the dangers posed by surveillance capitalists, with Google at the forefront. Most websites, including countless smaller ones, rely on Google's "free" analytics program and advertising platforms. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Behind the facade of free services lies a stark reality: your personal data is the currency exchanged for these conveniences. Google's power extends far beyond mere data collection. It operates as a surveillance agency with formidable yet covert capabili
