But what about all the eager geeks who are low on cash or are on parents pocket money. If you can wait for a while rumor is that public Office 2010 beta downloads will be activated by the end of this week. But already it seems that the official page got leaked and is pointed to this link with download links showing up for the three Microsoft Office editions Office Home and Business 2010 beta, Office Professional 2010 beta and Office Professional Plus 2010 beta.

Almost every feature rich website nowadays have at-least a little bit of Adobe’s love or have Flash software. Its latest 10 beta release gets even better with GPU acceleration for H.264 video and multi-touch support and tones of bug fixes. Unfortunately the graphics powered HD acceleration is only for the Windows platform. Now come on Adobe almost all the latest Mac or Linux are capable of playing Youtube’s upcoming 1080p  videos without breaking a sweat. But all platforms will support multi-touch, hopefully it won’t be bugged with lag problems.

Besides Flash, Adobe has also updated their Air apps platform to 2.0 with lots of added features like USB access, better handling of networking and ability to open up files or link using its native application and a better and faster WebKit browser. Both Flash 10.1 prerelease and AIR 2.0 beta are available as free downloads for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

Previously, you could use Google Reader as a personal feed reader by just entering the Feed URLs in the left side top box. Now its more simple. You Can socialize and at the same time get updates on your Twitter account directly. Here’s how.

Twitterfeed is one of the sites that lets you enter RSS feed URLs and keep you updated with the happenings worldwide.

Here’s how you use Twitterfeed As a personal feed reader:

♦ Register for a new Twitter account. Using the current one might display all the feed links to your followers and trust me it won’t help you get any followers.

♦ Next, head to Twitterfeed and register for a new account or use OpenID.

♦ In your Twitterfeed account, just add the feed URLs and connect it with your newly registered Twitter account.

♦ Finally, from your old Twitter account follow the new one and you will receive updates on screen.

Thats it! This method’s useful if you are a Twitter addict and too lazy to run around feed readers looking for fresh news.

How many of you can actually find me quality sites that offer good uploading services? And in addition play host to it for a really long time? Time Limits? Limited Bandwidth? I could go on. Here is a site that is purely for upload purposes only.

S4ve.as allows everyone to upload files of any size. No registrations are needed. All you have to do is click the browse button, upload the file and thats it. You can only upload one file at a time. If you want to upload more than one file, just archive them and upload it.

Most of the time we come across files that are really hard to delete even if your try all sorts of permissions and overrides. Most common being that the file is under use by Windows error. LockHunter is another excilent tool to break your file free. Good thing its simple to use as it integrates straight into your system shell via right click menu. All you need is to highlight the file you want to remove and you can see what processes are using it after that you can either unlock it or kill the process or delete the selected file.

LockHunter is freeware, Windows only.

Before you go any further I would like to suggest that you backup your data just in case something goes wrong. Also, this procedure will permanently delete the .vmcx and .vhd file on your Virtual Machine and recovering your hard disk space.

How To Delete Virtual Machine:

1. Make sure the virtual machine is closed or shut down.

2. In the Start Menu, click All Programs , expand the Windows Virtual PC folder and double click the virtual machines shortcut.

3. Right click on the virtual machine you want to delete and click Settings.

4. In the left column, select ‘Hard Disk’ whose Current Value column shows a .VHD file.

5. In the right side dialog box click the ‘Browse’ button and right click the .VHD file. Click Delete and click Yes to confirm in the pop up dialog box.

6. Now Close all the Windows except the Settings window opened initially.

7. Right click the .VMCX file for the virtual machine you want to delete and then click on delete.

8. Now close the Windows and empty the recycle bin. Thats it!

You have just recovered a huge chunk of hard disk space and will be happy to download a few more movies!

Movie buffs just can’t get enough of the trailers, teasers and clips of there upcoming movies. HD- Trailers just like any streaming site lets your stream content but in HD.  You can download the videos in 480p/720p/1080p and can even encode iPod and PS3. Cool thing is that almost every movie has a minimum summary, cover art and a trailer.
