Streaming media from various video and music sites is easily one of the most popular activity in the internet. Now I wonder if we could grab all this stuffs instead of streaming each time we wanna listen or view thus saving valuable bandwidth. TubeMaster could be your answer, as this all-in-one approach for grabbing and converting audio and video from nearly any web site that can stream it to you.
Great thing is that the app requires no installation just launch it, its built-in tabbed browser lets you simply launch it, head to Last.fm, YouTube, a site with proprietary Flash video, or nearly any other streaming media, and hit “Start Media Capture.” After the files are on queue, just convert and save to your format of choice. TubeMaster’s built-in media search tool covers nearly 100 video and audio-sharing sites. TubeMaster Plus is easily one of my must have applications, upgrading to a paid version unlocks downloads from adult sites.

Norton unlike there annoying activation nightmare products, this free application named Norton User Account Control replaces Vista’s default UAC with a more user-friendly and more secure UAC. Most of the people that switched there workspace to Vista quickly got annoyed with the UAC and decided to disable it altogether.
Norton UAC is a much friendly option, as it has a simple Don’t ask me again option and gives you better details about the program that was prompted by UAC, so you have a better understanding what actually is wrong. Norton UAC is a free beta download, requires Windows Vista.

Windows Vista isn’t the most loved OS by Microsoft by any means, partly because many software’s and games that ran happily in Windows XP are subjected to crashes and other problems when executed in Vista.
Most games and software’s after some patches and other tweaks. To run programs having compatibility issues in Vista, one can simply turn on the compatibility Mode. Most of the programs that had issues with Vista are able to run after switching to the original OS settings should run in most cases.
To run any program or game in compatibility mode, just right click on the program you wanna run and select Properties. You should see in the properties window a tab named Compatibility. You should find a check box against “Run this Program in compatibility mode for” from where you should then select the Operating system the program was designed for. Click apply and now your program would work in Vista with compatibility but its a kinda finding a needle in the dark because it may work or not work depending how aged the program is.
