    Laptops Super Confused!

    Between Asus and Sony personally I would prefer Asus as their long-term build quality seems to be better. This is based on using their smartphones (which seem to be tougher than Nokias when it comes to abuse-handling!), but I suppose one could extend this to their hardware in general? Their...

    Laptops Help! How's this deal?

    Folks, I'm getting a Dell Vostro 1520 configured thusly: All this for 37k all-inclusive (34k plus some random assortment of taxes - CVD, BCD, Cess, Surcharge, WTF, GFY, blah blah :S) Primary use is going to be 'business'-related, i.e. Web browsing, productivity apps, arbit personal use...

    Encrypted .Avi file, how to decrypt it?

    X3player will undoubtedly be a virus/trojan/spyware/malware infested piece of @*$&@&$. I really doubt AVIs can be 'encrypted' like this. Any such files claiming to be 'encrypted' media are festering black holes of evil..

    Urgent Help Required - Partition Recovery

    TestDisk is a bit unusual to use, but it's saved my ass on so many occasions (I even blogged about it the first time) I donated money ($5 - even though their 'default recommended amount' is 25 euro! :O )to those folks..

    Convert wmv to avi (simplest way) ??

    If the SUPER settings intimidate you, then you might not fare any better with MediaCoder - IMO it's a bit more powerful than SUPER, so has more settings and options in a more cluttered interface. (I use MediaCoder for all my encoding/transcoding/clipping requirements, so I'm cool with it..)...

    Need html to Pdf converter- which one ??

    PDFCreator is good. But recently I discovered this thing called PDFill, which not only lets you print to PDF without any hobbles, but also has all the PDFCreator features (as it also uses Ghostcript), and bundles a set of free tools that let you merge, split, header/footer, watermark...

    Suggest an e-mail client for multiple accounts

    Which Video Editing software?

    ..and if all you want to do is very simple 'add credits', 'join videos', 'crop videos' kind of stuff, then Windows Movie Maker will do just fine.. handles any format as long as you have the requisite codecs installed, and is VERY VERY EASY TO USE :-)

    Add me to that list! One quick n00bish doubt though - 1260 + 'shipping' refers to in-country shipping, right? Any idea how much this will be, say, to Bangalore? :)

    Security Software Microsoft Security Essentials Final available now

    Would you folks say it's okay to replace Avast with this? I have an old-ish laptop, and imo avast runs a bit slowly and takes up way too much memory while scanning (realtime). This does have real-time scanning, right? I'd prefer not using software that I have to schedule to run at intervals...
