In the digital downloading world of the internet, there are quite a number of files that we download and one of the most popular files types are in .rar formats.

Contarary to this, the .zip file formats is also popular but you can still able to extract this file from your laptop from your in-built Windows file extraction wizard (that is provided you are using Windows XP or above).  You need not install WinZip (a third party software) and mind you that WinZip is neither FREE either.

WinRAR on the the other hand is not FREE ($29 for one user license) but if you’ve download a .rar file format ….. what can you do?

I received a call yesterday for a friend who is having this problem while using his laptop. Immediately, I recommend him to install 7-Zip, an open-source compression tool that is able to extract a .RAR file format.

There are numerous file compression tool out there and you have to be certain which is the one that suits you.

The 3 most popular FREE file compression softwares to date are Zip Genius, IZArc and 7-Zip. Unfortunately Zip Genius does not support .RAR file formats. Unlike the free ones mentioned, none of them is able to create a .RAR file and the only that you can do it is via WinRAR .

I have quite a few problems recently with my laptop and unfortunately I have deleted a few important files.

I know some of you will say ….. “Restore it from your Recycle Bin.”

Unfortunately it ain’t that simple.

I had “CCleaned” to cleanup my junk files and that includes my “Recycle Bin” folder.

I was searching for answers and finally stumbled on this software called “Undelete Plus“. This tiny piece of software does the job perfectly and I am able to get my files back. Furthermore, it is available for “FREE” for a limited time period.

When I mean “Free”, it is free to download and free to use.

Recently (well its yesterday actually), I did a post on the new Open Office 3.0.

One of the functions that thrills me with the new Open Office 3.0 is definitely the PDF Importer.

Finally a freeware that allows you to edit your PDF file (well it’s a long wait really ).

Unfortunately this is NOT part of the installation files but it is an extension or add-on to the Open Office 3.0 suite. Do note this extension does not work with earlier versions of Open Office.

It is one of the hottest downloads of the moment; so HOT that it has already reach 254749 downloads at the moment and 58382 downloads from this week already.

What’s more users from various platforms are able to enjoy this breakthrough function. Windows, Mac OSX, Solaris and even Linux (x32 and x64) users can use this powerful tool on their already FREE Open Office 3.0.

To enjoy enhancing your Open Office with new extensions (if you are familiar with Firefox style of add-ons, this is very much similar) , Click here.

The alternative office suite for PCs (laptops included), OpenOffice.org, has now released version 3.0 of its office suite.

There are many new features in this new suite and for the first time ever ” a PDF importer”.

Which means you can import you pdf files …. edit them up and save as a document, spreadsheet, presentation or draw file (something Microsoft haven’t come out with ).

Though Microsoft has been working with third party ….. Able2Extract on this function to be in the future releases of Microsoft Office suites, Sun Microsystems has leapfrog a step further with this release.

Microsoft has launched IE8 beta 2 for users and testers to download.

Personally, it is not yet a finished or stable software and do download this with caution; whether you’re downloading to your desktop or your laptop.

There are a couple of new feature added after the IE7 release which I personally believe the features are already there in Firefox ( cause I’m a big fan of Firefox, that’s why ).

Here are some of the new additions to IE8 beta2.

1. Accelerators
2. Automatic Crash Recovery
3. Enhanced Navigation
4. Web Slices
5. Improved Favorites and History Management
6. Instant Search
7. Increased Performance

The interface, however, is somewhat similar to IE7 (nothing much changes there).

However the new features like accelerators, web slices and automatic crash recovery will be keeping interesting to know more.
