The new switchless installers are ready for download.
Remember to install the latest QuickTime Alternative.
Application Support is already included in my installers. If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPod 5G you need to install Mobile Device Support from the original iTunes installer, extracting it with 7-Zip or WinRAR.
For more information, like what is changed, etc. you can read this post. The installers can be downloaded from the Custom Installers section.
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 has been released.
Starting with version 3.6.4 Firefox now has the ability to run plug-ins like Flash, Silverlight and others in separate processes. If one of them crashes, you only need to reload the tab and not the whole browser like in previous versions.
If you want a portable version, download it at PortableApps.com.
You can learn more by reading the release notes page.

This is a great program that lets you organize your desktop shortcuts in nice regions called Fences.

PDF-XChange Viewer is a freeware PDF viewer that is fast and has plenty of options for a freeware alternative to Adobe Reader.
I think this is better than Foxit Reader in many ways. I have found some files that Foxit can’t render properly but PDF-XChange Viewer shows them well.
Fortunately for us, Adobe started to slim down its own Adobe Reader for speed and resource usage. The latest versions are great, but if you want an alternative, PDF-XChange Viewer is the best I have found so far.
CPU-Z gathers all relevant information about your CPU, Motherboard and Memory.
This information is useful because you can see the clock speed, voltages and multipliers of the CPU, as well as the speed of the Front Side Bus and RAM Memory.
The latest installers try to install a toolbar, but you can download a ZIP file which requires no installation at all.
