In Jailbreak, Ios, Iphone, Ipad, Ipod Touch, Apple, Ios 5, Windows Downloads, Mac Downloads, Linux Downloads, / 25 May 2012 / 0 comments

iOS: The Chronic Dev Team has just released its new jailbreak too, Absinthe 2.0. The jailbreak works with the new iPad, iPhone 4S, and all previous models running iOS 5.1.1.

The jailbreak requires iOS 5.1.1 so if you haven't updated yet, do so. Once you're done head over to the Absinthe site and download Absinthe (Windows/Mac/Linux). The process with Absinthe 2.0 is pretty similar to previous jailbreaks with GreenPoison/Absinthe. Plug in your iPhone or iPad, launch Absinthe, click "Jailbreak," and wait for Absinthe to complete the jailbreak. Head over to the GreenPoison page below for download links and more info for each device.

AniExplorer Adds Customizable Animations to Windows Explorer

In Customization, Desktop, Windows, Windows Explorer, Fun, Desktop Animations, Downloads, Windows Downloads, Clips, Linux Downloads, / 18 May 2012 / 0 comments

Windows: AniExplorer enables hidden animations in the Windows Explorer interface, letting you customize your file manager and give it a little pizazz.

There aren't a lot of ways to get cool desktop animations on Windows, but AniExplorer adds some pretty cool ones to Windows Explorer's icon view—just start it up, select your animation, set the speed, and click Apply. I usually choose the fastest speed, since otherwise it'll slow down how quickly you can navigate through Windows Explorer. Check out the video above to see what it looks like on slower speeds, or download it yourself and give it a shot. If you decide you don't like the new animations, just click "Restore Defaults" and it'll get rid of all your changes.

AniExplorer is a free download for Windows 7 and 8.

Gmvault Backs Up Your Gmail and Restores It to Any Gmail Account

In Gmail, Downloads, Backup, Email, Google, Backup Utilities, Windows Downloads, Mac Downloads, Linux Downloads, Linux Downloads, / 17 May 2012 / 0 comments

Windows/Mac/Linux: Although there are a bunch of ways to backup your Gmail, including really easy to use Windows app MailStore, cross-platform program Gmvault takes the cake for being feature-rich and highly customizable.

Gmvault not only backs up your entire Gmail account to disk, you can set it to run regularly to always keep your backup up to date (it's fast too; in the quick sync mode, it only updates the latest emails). You can restrict your backup to a set of certain emails based on a search request or date range and also encrypt the saved emails, which are stored in a Gmvault repository.

Gmvault's most unique feature is its ability to restore your mailbox, complete with labels and other attributes, to a different Gmail account. This makes the app useful also if you ever want to move to a different Gmail handle.

It's a console-based application, so you don't get a fancy graphical user interface (GUI), but the program is still easy to use. Type in "sync [your email address]" to start the backup and "restore [email address to restore to]" to restore the emails. If you need help, type in "gmvault —help" or consult Gmvault's quick start or in depth guides.

The simple app makes regularly backing up your Gmail account or moving to a new Gmail account a cinch.

Dropbox for Windows and Mac Updated with Auto Photo Uploading and Up to 3 GB of Additional Free Space

In Dropbox, Windows Downloads, Mac Downloads, Webapps, File Sharing, Photos, Updates, News, Sync, Photography, / 27 April 2012 / 0 comments

Windows/Mac: The desktop Dropbox client has been updated with the ability to automatically upload photos from SD cards and smartphones directly to Dropbox. When you do so, you'll get a free 500 MB of space and if you continue to upload pictures you can get up to 3GB of additional space.

When you put in a SD card or connect a smartphone, Dropbox will ask you if you want to import the photos directly to your Dropbox folder. From there, if shows you a syncing box as the photos are uploaded, and then you're done. If you're using another photo import program like iPhoto, Dropbox will block the program from opening and do it's own thing. The same goes for if you connect a smartphone with a camera. Uploading a single picture this way will get you an additional 500 MB of space. Then, every additional 500 MB you upload will net you another 500 MB of space up to a total of 3 GB of extra space. Not a bad deal for an already cool feature. You can download the new version from the link below.
