How To Convert A .MTS Video For Free

Thu, 02/25/2010 - 10:58pm — Smartmom

This past week I purchased a Sony HD video camera. Its easy to use and I really like it...until I found it uses only .MTS format. Well Sony isn't the only one who uses this so does Cannon.

Windows 7 Starter review

Mon, 02/22/2010 - 10:04pm — Smartmom

Today I purchased a new netbook and it came with Windows 7 Starter. Most netbooks you see out there come either with Windows XP home or Windows 7 Starter. They do that because they are easier to run with smaller hardware (memory, CPU, graphics). Well all I can say is Windows 7 starter does really suck. I love Windows 7 but this is way to stripped down.

Shrink Pic - Compress Photos On The Fly

Fri, 01/22/2010 - 8:22pm — U2

I downloaded Shrink Pic and it works exactly like it says it does. Its free which is always nice and there is a cool demo that shows you exactly how to use it. Shrink Pic runs on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Shrink Pic automatically reduces the size for email, IM, blogging and web galleries but doesn't change the size of the original copy.
