The original purpose for GIMPshop was to make the Gimp accessible to the many Adobe Photoshop users out there. . And maybe along the way, convert a Photoshop pirate into a Gimp user.
Gimpshop is an exceedingly powerful Photoshop lookalike that has far more features than you, or most people you know, will ever use

I have a new way to send a gigantic files.

Send large files to anyone with TransferBIGFiles...

email the recipient with a link to the download page, and it's FREE!

TransferBigFiles lets you send up to five files at a time. I like being
able to send a file to five people, too, though I'd prefer being able
to blind-copy the recipients. Other features: You can password protect
the file and get a confirmation that it's been downloaded. Files are
held for five days and then deleted.
ALSO-- You do not need to download anything to doit. However if you do want a handy extension to the program then you can download the drop zone Client from HERE

ImgBurn

ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit!

It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task:

* Read - Read a disc to an image file
* Build - Create an image file from files on your computer or network - or you can write the files directly to a disc
* Write - Write an image file to a disc
* Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
* Discovery - Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing

Oh and let's not forget the best thing about it.... it's 100% FREE ;-)

DVDShrink

Back up your movies on DVD to your hard drive.
Here's one for anyone who wants to make backup copies of their DVDs on their hard disk. That way, you can use Windows Media Center or another DVD media player to play the DVDs on your PC. The program lets you rip the DVD to your hard disk in a variety of formats, including a lossless one that keeps the image and audio quality intact. You can choose from other formats if you want to save hard disk space. And you can also customize the quality on any DVD you rip.

DVD Shrink will preserve all your DVD content, including menus, trailers, subtitles, and so on. If you'd like, though, you can eliminate any of that content as well. Maybe best of all, it's free.

Goowy

For several years, observers have speculated that the Internet will
become, in essence, a vast operating system, with applications built on
top of it. To a great extent, that's the premise underlying Goowy.
Create an account, and you can start building your own desktop, with
applications for e-mail, contacts, instant messaging, file management,
and more. You can also add prebuilt widgets, called "minis," to your
desktop, for news, stocks, weather, and other tidbits of information.

Pageflakes

The Web is just as chaotic as the world--but Pageflakes
can organize both of them for you. This super-customizable version of a
home page enables you to pick the news and information feeds you want
to read, and to specify the "flakes,"
or applets, you want to include. Flakes let you add all sorts of cool
stuff to your page--movie times, to-do lists, a notepad, e-mail, a
horoscope--even sudoku or a personal blog. If you're looking for
one-stop browsing, this is it.

CircleUp

Anyone who has ever tried to organize an event--or to get a group of people
to respond to a simple question like "Who can drive the kids to Little League
this week?"--knows how tough it is to filter and organize the answers into
coherent, usable form. That's where CircleUp comes in handy. Use this site to send an e-mail or instant message to a group of people; then
wait for it to return a consolidated summary of responses to you. It's simple,
it's free, and it will liberate you from the recurring feeling that you're
herding cats whenever you try to coordinate an activity involving more than two
people.

Wayfaring

If you're obsessed with cartography, wander over to Wayfaring.com. Here you can
easily create personalized maps
for a walking tour of London, say, or a wine-tasting trip through Napa or a pub
crawl through Seattle. The site provides the tools you'll need to build
annotated maps--complete with descriptions, Web links, and photos of your
favorite stops--and then post them for others to view and discuss. It's fun to
check out the maps other users have created. One of my favorites: a map of
shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, including links to Web sites that discuss each
wreck.

BBC reporter Alan Johnston released

BBC reporter Alan Johnston smiles as he enjoys first taste of freedom

Kidnapped British journalist Alan Johnston is free after an ordeal lasting almost four months.

The BBC reporter was released from his captors in Gaza in the early hours of Wednesday morning and said he felt "the most unimaginable relief".

A British consular official later said that Mr Johnston had set off in a convoy for Jerusalem in the company of British diplomats.
