Mint.com App Released: Get Your Finances in Order Right on Your Android

noreply@blogger.com (Alessandro Reis) — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:03:00 +0000

Mint.com App Released: Get Your Finances in Order Right on Your Android: "

How long have us Android users been waiting for Mint.com to release their popular personal finance app for our handsets? Well it doesn’t really matter anymore because this one is live in the market now. It has all of what you’d expect from its iPhone brethren (account balances, recent transactions, and budgeting tools), and throws in a few awesome Android exclusive features such as transaction searching, a Mint.com widget, and live folders for quick access to financial information.

The app provides password-protection to help keep your now-centralized financial info safe, and if your phone is lost or stolen access to your sensitive data through the app can be disabled remotely via Mint’s website.

If you are a Mint user or have been waiting for a killer personal finance app for your Android phone, this app is definitely one you’ll want to check out. I’ll remain cautious and rely on old fashioned ways of tracking my money, however. You’ll need a Mint.com account, and it looks like this one is for Android 2.0 devices or higher, so still no luck if you are still on 1.5 or 1.6.

5 geeky, free Windows programs non-geeks should know about

noreply@blogger.com (Alessandro Reis) — Mon, 03 May 2010 06:04:00 +0000

5 geeky, free Windows programs non-geeks should know about: "

Filed under: Features, Windows, Freeware, Lists

Download Squad's regular readers are smarter than the average bear when it comes to software. You're familiar with the apps we review -- or brave enough to go try them out if you haven't. Your friends and family probably aren't quite as up to speed, and they should be. There are loads of excellent free programs out there that could be saving them time and preventing headaches -- if they only had the right tools!

Let's check out five programs that they should know about...

CCleaner (pictured above)

There are banner ads all over the place for tune-up programs and registry repair or cleaning apps, but most of them are about as useful as lips on a chicken. CCleaner, on the other hand is great at what it does. Two quick scans with CCleaner can rid your system of gigabytes of temporary files and tidy up crud hiding inside your Windows registry. CCleaner also lets you create a backup of the registry data it removes so that you can put it back if something goes wrong.

One thing to know about: the normal CCleaner installer offers the Ask.com toolbar. Simply uncheck the boxes when they appear to avoid installing it, or download the Slim installer instead.

Comodo EasyVPN

Ok, most 'geeks' probably aren't using EasyVPN but that doesn't mean it's not a geeky program. What does it do? It sets up a virtual network between any computers you install the program on. It's like having them all in the same place and plugged into the same router even if they're miles apart from each other. So what can you do with EasyVPN?

take remote control of your home or work computer

browse folders and transfer files

print documents to a remote, shared printer

Unlike a lot of other remote control (like GoToMyPC) and VPN programs, Comodo is free for use in both home and work settings.

Malwarebytes

If more people knew about Malwarebytes, I'd probably notice a drop in the number of systems on my workbench that need trojans and rogue antivirus programs removed. Malwarebytes is an amazing program, and it keeps getting better at cleaning up things like XP Antivirus and Security Tool.

The paid version of Malwarebytes gets you realtime protection (like a regular antivirus program), automatic updates and scheduled scans, but the free version is identical otherwise. Run a manual update, and just remember to run a scan every now and then.

DropBox

There are just so many useful things you can do with a free DropBox account -- and places you can use it -- that everyone can get some benefit from the service. A free account gets you 2GB of online storage, which is plenty of space for you to save important documents, pictures, or other data you want to be able to access from anywhere.

Putting files in your DropBox is easy -- it's basically just another folder on your Windows system like My Music, My Documents...Heck, it's even called My Dropbox! You can get at your stored files through their website or via the handy iPhone app.

Macrium Reflect [free version at Download.com]

Backing up individual files and folders is a good idea, but since hard drives are so cheap anymore why not just back up your entire hard drive? Macrium Reflect creates a single-file snapshot of everything on your system and it's a great way to protect your data in the event something catastrophic happens (like your main hard drive failing). If you've got an image saved somewhere safe (like an external USB hard drive), you can boot your computer with a Macrium recovery CD, restore the image to a new drive, and be running again as though nothing ever happened -- within minutes!

This is just the first installment. Stay tuned for more apps and share your favorites in the comments, DS readers, so we can include them next time!
