my airtel is a free Android app to manage Airtel mobile, digital tv, and broadband services on Android. If you are using Airtel services, then this Android Airtel app is the best to install and manage connection on your Android phone. The app tracks the details of Airtel number which you are currently running on your Android phone.

Note: Airtel is a mobile service provider in India.

You can check out the outstanding bill, unbilled usage excluding rental, make the bill payment, start or stop any service, get the details of special offers, and browse Airtel live on your Android. Moreover, the app developers says that the app has the ability to recharge any Airtel prepaid number.

If you are running your Android on Wi-Fi network or mobile internet other than Airtel, then the app uses your SIM card to send SMS to get it registered with the app. SMS will be charged as per the SMS plan of your number.

To check the details of my Airtel digital tv or broadband connection, you need to register your alternate contact number with the app. You can check the registration process details in the app itself. The app even displays the notifications related to the Airtel services which you have added.

The best part of the app is that, it is an official Airtel app in Google Play Store. This makes it even easier to manage all your Airtel services with single application via Android. With this application installed on your Android phone, you don't need to contact Airtel customer care 121 repeatedly for each and every connection details.

Desktop Fireworks for a Realistic and Interactive Firework Display

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT

Desktop Fireworks is a freeware specially designed to experience realistic firework display over an equally impressive backdrop from your Windows desktop. I call it realistic because of the effects it comes coupled which include amazing graphics and sound. Let's see what exactly this freeware offers:

Installation of Interactive Firework Display

Desktop Fireworks is simply to install. Once you have downloaded the software which is available in a size of 2.66 MB, you can easily install it in a few steps. Make sure that you uncheck the box that asks you to install the Harmony Hollow software toolbar. The rest of the process is smooth and simple. For this freeware to work, you need to install the java plugin for internet explorer. It won't work properly unless you have installed it on internet explorer.

You can also checkout wallpaper changer software available for free.

Interface of Interactive Firework Display

The interface of this freeware is simple and features a phone screen presenting a beautiful landscape as its background. You simply need to click repeatedly anywhere on the background to launch the fireworks. Click any number of times and the fireworks are launched presenting a beautiful sight. The controls are very easy to use. Since you have 13 different landscapes, you can switch to any by clicking on 'Options' at the bottom. You can even right click anywhere on the application to display the menu to change the settings.

What I like about Desktop Fireworks?

To elaborate, simply praising about this freeware won't be just. The freeware does not serve any basic purpose, it is simply meant for pure entertainment. Desktop Fireworks not only provides entertainment but at first you would find different landscapes to be quite interesting. Say, you can amuse your kids with the scintillating landscapes.

The above screenshot shows one of the landscapes of this freeware. Similarly, there are many other landscapes. Since it isn't possible for us to put up the snapshots of all others, so that's for you to download and check all others for yourself! Let's have a sneak peek at the Christmas landscape as well!

Verdict

Desktop Fireworks is compatible with windows operating system and thus you can enjoy beautiful realistic and interactive landscapes. Overall, the freeware works fine but has no practical utility as such. Though you can give it a try if you are curious enough to explore what all this freeware has in store for you!

Optimize and Decrease File Size with File Optimizer

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 02:00 PM PDT

File Optimizer is a free application which you can use in order to compress and cut down the size of practically every known file type. Don’t get the wrong idea, File Optimizer is not an archiving tool like WinRar, the extension of the file stays the same, the only thing that’s gonna be different after you run the selected files through File Optimizer would be the size, which is gonna go down.

There’s no need for installation, File Optimizer is gonna work right away after you extract its archive and after you run the executable. Once you do that you should see the very simple interface which can be seen on the image above. At the top of the window you can see that there’s a list of the supported file types, file extensions which can be opened and optimized with the help of File Optimizer. Here’s a short list of the supported formats:

Audio (MP3, OGG)
Images (JPEG, PNG, BMP, ICQ, TIF)
Applications (EXE, AIR, JAR)
Archives (RAR, ZIP)
Office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX)

Before you start optimizing files with the help of File Optimizer there’s something that you should know. Files which are optimized are gonna overwrite the old ones so it’s a good idea, if you’re only interested in testing out File Optimizer, that you create backups of the files that you’re gonna be optimizing with the help of this free file and data optimization software.

Similar software: Image Optimizer, Photo Vacuum Packer.

How to optimize files and decrease their size with File Optimizer

Beneath the list of supported formats that File Optimizer can open, you can find short instructions where it says that in order to start optimizing files you’re gonna have to drag and drop them to the main list.

As you can see from the image above, we decided to test out a MP3 file, a JPEG image and a PPTX presentations. Note that older versions of Office documents cannot be opened, Office 2007 and newer will work, you can also recognize them by the addition of X to their extension. Keep an eye on the Original size column, because that’s where a very precise size of the files that you’re getting ready to optimize is located. To start the optimization right click anywhere on the main list and select Optimize.

Results were a bit disappointing, as you can see from the image above. The most compression that we got was for an image, and the size was decreased for 9%. The MP3 files and the PPTX presentation weren’t compressed at all, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be if you try it.

Conclusion

If you have a large collection of files and you would like to decrease the size of it without compressing them in archives, which is a bit impractical if these files are something that you are accessing frequently, then File Optimizer is just the thing that you need. With this application you can easily optimize files, remove any overhead in size that they might have to save disk space. Results might not be great, but there are some, so try File Optimizer and see how it can help you out.

Screen Capture and Screen Recorder Software: Free Screen to Video

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 11:00 AM PDT

Free Screen to Video is a free screen capture software that records your desktop into a video file of your preferred format. The program has the ability to record sections or the whole desktop and supports most common video formats like flash video (.flv).

Features of free screen capture software

Free Screen to Video feature include,

Very easy recording process, all you have to do to start recording is to select a format and a capture mode and you are good to go.
Free Screen to Video is a standalone application and any tools required to record and manipulate video are bundled with the installation.
Free Screen to Video supports the most common video formats including ".flv" and ".swf" with no additional plugins required.
Easily customizable. Recording profiles can be customized to a user's liking. Recording quality can either be reduced or increased by manipulating parameters such as bit rate, video size, audio frequency, channels and frames per second.

How to use Screen Capture application?

Installation was quite easy but you are required to be online to complete the installation process. The process was also a bit confusing, the installer downloaded files which it claimed were necessary without authorisation. The interface is quite simple, well arranged and can be resized to your preference. It consists of program icons at the top, file list in the middle and a status bar at the bottom showing the defaults profile parameters.

Recording your desktop activity is very easy. For rookies, the default profile works just fine and all you need to do is hit the Start button, select an appropriate video name and format and before you know it, you are recording. Once recording begins, the program minimises to tray until it is either stopped or paused. Screen capture mode can be changed via the Screen Capture button. Screen capture mode has three options, the entire screen capture which records the whole screen, the window screen capture which searches for any open windows and selects them in a red rectangle and the area capture that allows users to select a part of the screen they want recorded.

Output video formats are selected from the dropdown labelled FLV. Four file types are available for your selection, FLV, AVI, SWF and WMV. Profile settings can be accessed via the configuration button. Audio settings that are customized from the same menu include enabling audio, volume, device and input pin. Video configuration includes capture formats, frame per second, video size, video bitrate, audio channels, audio frequency and audio bitrate. You can also set the program to show a balloon on the windows taskbar. Settings are saved after clicking the Okay button. You can also enable or disable mouse action recording. Users can toggle between 9 supported languages via the dropdown at the bottom. Unfortunately, both online and offline help are not available.

Also check out free screen capture software reviewed by us.

Opinion

Great idea and commendable implementation of the concept behind screen capture utility. Video quality is great but I cannot say the same for audio. Even after setting the bitrate at a modest 256kbps, all I could get from a high definition videos were squeaks. Amazingly the program still consumes very little resources even when recording. Functionality is limited due to the few video formats that the program supports.

Verdict

Free Screen to Video is a great piece of software with a few shortcomings which you can live with.

Scorched 3D: Free Tank Game For Windows, Mac

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 09:30 AM PDT

Scorched 3D is a famous tank game for PC; available for free download. Try this artillery game, where battle tanks take turns to destroy others.

Scorched 3D is based on a DOS game, Scorched Earth. You can play both Single Player and Multi-player game in this tank game. This game can be played on Windows, Linux, and MAC Operating System.

About this 3D Tank Game:

This is a classic 3D tank game. Strategy is the important element to win this game. You have to fire varieties of bombs at your enemies; with right power and at a certain angle. I definitely found this game better than Battle Tanks 2.

In your game window you can see several icons and maps.

On the top left corner you can see wind direction and also four icons above it. They are:

The first is a camera icon; when you click on it, many options will be shown. These are certain camera angles. The top view and above tank view are good views out of them. Even if you move your mouse the camera moves and when you scroll it zooms. So, carefully choose your camera view so that you can see your enemies also.
The second icon is for resigning (come out of the game by declaring yourself dead) or clearing tracers and save option is available here to save your game.
The third icon looks like a bomb; it shows all the varieties of bombs you have.
The last icon in this series is for viewing different icons on your screen. If the options are tick marked then they appear on your screen or else they don't.

The top right corner shows you a mini map of the top view. You get to know where your enemies are located. The right bottom corner shows your icon and various shields or add-ons you are carrying. The left bottom corner shows the chat, power, rotation angle, elevation, and the type of bomb in use.

This game opens in a small window in the beginning. You can see options like Play, Start Server, Settings, and Quit (rest of the options are not necessary).

Single Player option: Play

When you click on play, the game opens in full screen mode. Then you can see options like: Tutorial, Play game, Play online, Load save, and Quit.

Tutorial: Tutorial is for getting to know the game. You will be given a random map after you choose your icon and name. In this mode you will be shooting at your enemies; your enemies will be idle. This is just like a practice session.

Play Game: When you click on play game, you will be asked to choose from: play a normal game, play an apocalypse mod game, and play a customization game.

If you choose play a normal game, then you will be asked for target practice, easy game, normal game, and hard game. Then you will be asked to choose an icon for your tank. Then you will be asked to enter your name also. Then you can play the game against two other computer controlled tanks. After every stage you can buy bombs depending upon the money you get. Try every weapon and choose which weapon is good to use.

If you choose play an apocalypse mod game, then you will be asked to choose from apocalypse target practice or normal or easy or hard game. This is fast paced mode; with more enemies. You will be provided with money in the starting only.

If you choose play with customizations then you can set your own game. You can play with your friends also. All the settings will be under your control.

Play Online: In play online option you can choose from Internet or LAN or Favorites. In internet option you can see all the players who are connected to internet mode game; you can join them. In LAN option you can play with your friends if they have setup a LAN game; which will be described below. Favorites shows the servers you have saved for future reference.

Load Save: This option loads the game you have saved during your play.

Quit: This option quits the game (once you start playing, you might not use this option very often).

Start Server or Multiplayer Game:

In start server option you can play with your friends by setting up a LAN network. Click to view a review, where I mentioned the Steps to Setup a LAN Network.

There are many controls. Mostly you need for aiming, increasing power, and firing. To check out the controls, view this keyboard layout image.

This tank game needs strategy to kill your enemies; because you have to set your tank barrel angle, elevation, and power. Sometimes wind is also included; so you have to set your angle and power accordingly. You can also buy fuel to move your tank a little distance; so that it's easy to shoot your enemies.

Battle and Win over your enemies. The game download size is 70MB for Windows and Linux; 113 MB for MAC OS. Here is the link to Download Scorched 3D.
