Anyplace Control is a remote control software, that allows you to control a remote PC over LAN or Internet.

The program displays the remote computer’s desktop on your local screen and lets you use your mouse and keyboard to control that PC remotely. In other words, using this program you can operate a remote PC just as if you were sitting in front of it, right from where you are, no matter where you actually are.

The built-in File Transfer feature provides an easy way to transfer files to and from a remote computer.

If you’ve ever used the Google Translate tool then you’ll know just how great it is for translating text from one language to another.

If you want a slightly more convenient way of using the service on your iPhone then check out Free Translator. The app provides a mobile-optimized interface for Google Translate that makes it much quicker and easier to perform translations.

Once Free Translator is launched you need to click on the source language then select a target language, from the choice of 32. Then, just type in the text you wish to convert and click the ‘Translate’ button for an instant translation. You even get the choice to email the translated text with a single click, making it ideal for writing to foreign friends, colleagues or customers on the fly.

Because it uses the Google translation engine, Free Translator provides fairly accurate and comprehensive results, although, of course, it’s still not perfect. The one major drawback of the program though, is that it requires an Internet connection into order to work. This could make it quite costly unless you have a cheap data plan.

One thing I think that could’ve enhanced the usefulness of Free Translator is some kind of speech feature to help you pronounce words in other language.

Free Translator is useful for anyone who needs to interact in different languages – just watch out for the Internet rates!

Bittorrent and Gnutella might be hogging the headlines of the peer to peer (P2P) world, but close behind comes Ares, a successful P2P application that boasts of having its own decentralized network and a simple, quick access interface. Ares spun-off from Gnutella in 2002, and since then has been building a strong and dedicated community of users.

Installing Ares only takes a few minutes and the interface is simple enough that anybody will feel comfortable with it. The new version has a very sleek and dark interface, not unlike that of WMP 11. When you start Ares, it lets you auto scan your PC to find files you might like to share on the network. Beginners will be relieved to know that there is no complex configuration process involved. Once Ares is installed, all you need to do is select the search tab and type the name of the file you want to download. Once it appears, double click on it to begin downloading. You’ll be able to check its progress in the transfer tab. The recent update adds bittorrent support, opening Ares up to loads of new content.

If you enjoy exchanging words with other users, click on the chat tab and connect to one of the thousands of channels available. You can pick up tips on how to use Ares better, ask which files other users recommend or just chit chat about your life in general. You can even insert emoticons into your conversation and keep a list of your favorite chat channels.

Of all the P2P programs, Ares probably features the widest preview screen. You can set it to fit to screen or adjust it to your preference. This is a great way of making sure you’re downloading the right movie or to get a sneak peak at your downloads.

Unlike WinMX or FileNavigator, the two other spin-off Gnutella projects, Ares did not drop into obscurity and unites a flourishing community of users. However, the same old problems usually seem to arise. According to many Ares users the application suffers from constant connectivity troubles making it difficult to properly search for a file or to successfully complete downloads. Others will worry that Ares is a much smaller network than the globally used Gnutella and does not offer quite as much download sources.

Ares is an ambitious project, and the fact that it still remains standing while eDonkey has fallen at the hands of the RIAA, is characteristic of its reliability. Thanks to a strong community of users, a simple interface, a great preview page and multichat service, Ares remains a P2P application of choice for anybody interested into sharing files over the internet.

Thinking about launching your own blog? Here’s some friendly advice: Don’t. And if you’ve already got one, pull the plug.

So, Boutin starts with two pieces of silly advice: don’t start blogging and if you already did, quit now. It’s worth noting that as of this moment, Valleywag is still up and running, and more confusingly includes posts published the day after Boutin offered those handy tips. We trust his resignation will be announced soon.

The blogosphere… has been flooded by a tsunami of paid bilge. Cut-rate journalists and underground marketing campaigns now drown out the authentic voices of amateur wordsmiths… Scroll down Technorati’s list of the top 100 blogs and you’ll find personal sites have been shoved aside by professional ones.

This is Boutin’s main recurring point, known to formal logicians as the “It ain’t like it was in the old days” argument. Closely related to the “You kids don’t know lucky you are” argument, it’s based on a fictitious, rose-tinted view of the olden days along with a paean to some lost hero (in this case “amateur wordsmiths”)

If you look at Technorati’s top 100 from 2005, you’ll see a hell of a lot of names you recognise. A lot of them are still in the top 100, like HuffPo, DailyKos, Gizmodo, Michelle Malkin. Some are new, like Wired and ValleyWag. And some have disappeared because they’ve either been retired (Scobleizer, Baghdad Burning), don’t get updated very often (Maddox) or are just less relevant now (Instapundit). Of course there are some others in there that have gone… but most of them were boring or rubbish anyway. And anyway: Technorati top 100? What is this, the nineties?!

But the truth is that it’s much easier than you might think – as long as you use the right app -  and it doesn’t require any technical skills at all. Plus, having a web server at home is a great way to share files with friends and family, and also have certain files always available, no matter where you are. So if you too want to learn how to set up your own web server in a very easy way, just read on!

My first step involved selecting a web server application that could work without PHP, MySQL, Apache and all the usual requirements of a standard web server; something that was easy to use and didn’t involve complicated configurations. MyWebServer did the trick: this dead easy tool lets you create and run a web server simply by installing the application on your computer.

During the installation process you can already set up the index page, which is the first webpage your visitors will see when they enter your web server. Don’t waste too much time here though: you can always edit this page later on with an HTML editor.

Once MyWebServer is installed, launch it and you’ll access a control panel from which you can manage your server’s settings. Buttons are quite self-explanatory, like the Admin buttons that take to the administration pages of your servers (yes, you can actually have two servers running with MyWebServer) or the Home buttons, which show the index page you built before. There are also buttons to stop the server, hide the control panel and set up usernames and passwords for certain users, which comes in really handy to protect the privacy of the data you share online.
