A Stopwatch is a hand-held watch which is used to record count down timers for different events, particularly sports based events. A Stopwatch software is an application software that brings the same count down timer functionality to your desktop. There are dozens of free stopwatch software which we have reviewed earlier, and Time-o is another add-on to the list. Time-O not only record time laps, but also let's you compare individual time laps related to a certain activity.

A Brief Overview:

Time-O is very simple in looks and appearance. It neither has that traditional stopwatch look, nor it is bundled with tons of features. It's a simple, lightweight, and easy to use application that you can install in your Windows PC, to monitor different time durations for a particular event, and compare them with each other. It can measure different countdowns, generate a list containing all of them, and let's you compare all time laps for a particular event from one single interface.

Using Time-O:

Time-O is a simple stopwatch software to work with. Just start the timer when a particular event or activity begins. Let the timer countdown run while the activity is in progress and stop it as soon as the event finishes. You can add this time lap to the list of time laps and record several more time laps like this. Always reset the timer before recording another time lap, by clicking on the "Clear Time" option. You can also rename fields in the list to record your personal data.

Why should I use this free Stopwatch Software?

This could be your question if you've been using similar free stopwatch software. No doubt, it's not a feature-packed stopwatch that can give you more than what you expect. This is very simple, very basic, with minimal functionalities and lowest complexity.

When I first came across this software, I was sitting idle and thinking, what specialty does this stopwatch has? Suddenly a friend of mine came around and said he bet if I could beat him in finishing a slice of pizza faster. Another friend joined and it became a battle between three of us. We decided to do it turn by turn and record the time laps each one will take. The one with the least time lap, would obviously win.

We took help of Time-O to measure the countdowns. We played the stopwatch again and again and recorded the time duration that each one of us took in finishing the pizza slice. The very next moment, we were able to make out who was the winner, since the list was in front of us, enlisting our names with the respective time laps.

It was quite interesting and the results were there: Simple and Straight!

The Final Verdict:

Time-O is a nice stopwatch software that you can use to record and compare different time durations taken by several players for performing same task. Not only that, you can even sort the names and time interval in both ascending and descending orders. You can also use it as a simple timer clock to set countdown for a certain task.

Best Free Alternative Game For Age Of Empires: 0 A.D.

Posted: 18 Oct 2012 03:00 PM PDT

0 A.D. available for Windows, Mac, and Linux is a best free alternative for Age of Empires (AOE) game. 0 A.D. is a 3D RTS (Real Time Strategy) game which depicts the ancient warfare.

0 A.D. is based on wars and economic conditions of historical civilizations. Now it's your turn to relive those historical times and rewrite the history. This is an open source game and is available for free download on all three major Operating Systems: Windows, Mac, and Linux. The download size is 350 MB.

Why I chose 0 A.D. As Alternative For Age Of Empires:

Age of empires is a famous real time strategy game. It is available in a paid version, so I was looking for an alternative game which is free. After playing many games I found this game and my search came to an end. There are many features which make 0 A.D. a best free alternative for Age of Empires (I'm not talking about the bad third version of AOE). Some of the features are:

Civilizations: There are many civilizations in 0 A.D. which resemble Age of Empires. This is still under development, so we can expect more options soon.
Citizens and Soldiers: There is no standard villager in this game. In the city center you can get both soldiers and villagers. Both citizens and soldiers work in construction of buildings, gathering stuff, and fighting. In Age of empires the soldiers don't work, they just fight but most of the functioning in this aspect is same. Actually soldiers working is a good option developed by 0 A.D.
Upgrading: Both Age of empires and 0 A.D. has upgrading options for the city center and other buildings also. In 0 A.D. the villagers also gain experience and upgrade automatically.
Resources: The resources like food, stone, metal, etc. are same like AOE. You can collect resources, trade, and use them for upgrading or developing units.
Maps: The maps available and their resemblance to reality is same like Age of Empires game.
Structures: The structures like houses, naval docks, markets, walls, etc. are all available in Age of Empires too.
Multiplayer: Multiplayer game is also same like AOE. Don't forget to play multiplayer with your friends and have fun.

There are many other features which resemble Age of Empires. Check this awesome game for yourself and you will be amazed.

Other Features of 0 A.D.:

The other features available in 0 A.D. are:

Learn To Play: New to 0 A.D. or new to strategy games then go through this tutorial to get started.
Single Player: In single player mode you can play matches and campaign with your own settings of: map, number of opponents, type of match, etc. This mode is for playing with computer players. If you have saved any previously played games, then you can access them from this option.
Multiplayer: In multiplayer you can play with your friends. Read this tutorial on How to setup LAN to play multiplayer game, with your friends.
Editor: You can edit your own map from here.
History: You can learn about the history of the civilizations that are available in 0 A.D.

The controls are pretty simple: use your mouse to move around the map, left click on units and right click to the destination you want them to reach. To select multiple units just select all of them with mouse or press Ctrl and click on units which you want to select. Most of the time it's the mouse which does the job.

0 A.D. has awesome graphics, great music effects, and improved computer players. I found this game way better than earlier reviewed Battle for Wesnoth. Enjoy this wonderful alternative to Age of Empires and let me know your opinions in comment section below.

deskPDF Reader: Free PDF Reader For Mac And Windows

Posted: 18 Oct 2012 12:00 PM PDT

deskPDF Reader is a free PDF reader for Windows and Mac that comes with several advanced features and obviously helps you to read or view PDF files. You can use deskPDF Reader as an alternative to the popular Adobe Acrobat Reader, and other similar tools for reading PDFs that we talked about before, like: Aloaha PDF Viewer, Perfect PDF Reader, and PDF Xchange Viewer.

What you see in the image above is the default interface of deskPDF Reader. Even though there’s an option, among the three displayed, for creating PDF documents, unfortunately it’s not available, you’ll have to upgrade to the separate PDF editor in order to actually use it. The other options though are gonna work, the middle one being the most important, because it’s gonna start-up the PDF reader where you can open up your PDF documents.

Key Features of deskPDF Free PDF Reader:

Open PDF files and use the deskPDF as your default reader.
Scanning utility for creating scans of important documents.
Sidebar with chapter view, quick search and page previews.
Tabs for viewing several documents at the same time.
Send by email feature to quickly send PDF files.

This free PDF reader is bit bigger than what you’d expect it to be, with almost 50MB in size, but considering all the features that we mentioned above, and also that Acrobat Reader is actually much bigger, then deskPDF isn’t that big at all. Let’s see how you can read documents with deskPDF.

How to View Documents with deskPDF Reader:

Well the first thing that you need to do would be to open up the files and documents that you are interested in viewing. Click on File -> Open or select the Open PDF option on the start page, which can be seen in the image above.

On the far left there are four options where you can switch between different views which are available for the middle part, the one that is currently showing the preview of the documents. Three other options are for viewing chapters, editing annotations and searching the document. On the right we have the actual document. Notice that there are tabs opened, the Start Page is always present, and new PDF documents that you open up are showed separately in their respective tabs.

Now we’ve changed the view again in the middle part and we are seeing the chapters that the document has. By clicking on the scanner icon in the main toolbar above, or selecting File ->Scan Pages you can use your scanner to create PDF scans from actual paper documents. To use this feature you’ll of course need to have a scanner.

Conclusion:

deskPDF Reader is bit more bulky than what you’d expect a PDF viewer to be, but reading PDF files is very easy with this free PDF reader. How fast it will work depends on the computer where you’re doing the reading and on the complexity of the files, but with a normal size document on an average PC everything went fine. Page preview is especially useful when you’re looking for something on the run. Try deskPDF as an Acrobat alternative.

Therefore, it can be said that this is a pretty effective application for keeping track of your Facebook account and to organize feeds of your Facebook friends. Moreover, being a browser application it is recommended to logout every time the user wishes to exit the computer.

Digital Clock: Digital Clock of the app displays the digital time in HH/MM/SS time format. Also, the clock shows the country name. The country name is situated above the time.

The bad part of this free version World Clock app is its settings options. All the setting options of the app are missing and are available in the paid version only. Another thing which I was missing in this free version was time zone map. Time zone map is in the paid version of the app.

Full Screen: In Full Screen mode, you can view the photos on full screen without any distraction. You can also change the settings and adjust the background colors to fix the lightning effects.
Calendar: You can view the thumbnail images of your photos in Calendar and Timeline. This lets you move in time with your photos, and revive great memories. You can move the slider at the bottom, to increase or decrease the size of the thumbnail. You can also use keywords here, to quickly search your favorite images.
Slideshow: This free photo organizer let's you view the photos present in different albums, events, or folders as a slideshow. You can either manually go back and forth through the collection, or let Phototheca change photos for you at the customized time interval. Meanwhile, It also provides some basic editing capabilities like rotating photos, flag them as important, or move them to trash.

Key Features of Phototheca:

Organize Photos in Library: You can use Phototheca to organize photos within your own photo library. This way, you can manage photos locally, without moving them from their actual location.
Copies Photos from Removable Devices: When you import photos to Phototheca library from USB drives, memory cards, or other removable media, it automatically copies the photos to your system's hard drive. It also recognizes the previously imported photos and do not copy a photo if it is already present on the hard drive.
Protect Images: It also provides an advanced feature to prevent your private images from being viewed by unwanted persons. Phototheca library consists of a private section where you can create safes for keeping personal photos and lock them using passwords. You can open the safe by entering the same password and unlock hidden photos.
Correct Wrong Time Stamps of the Camera: If the camera had wrong time setup when the photos were taken, it automatically corrects the timestamps during the time of import.
Filter Photos by Camera Model or Time: It filters the photos by the camera model or time when the photos were taken.
Remove Duplicates: It also recognizes the duplicate images present in your library and provides option to move them to trash.
Set Photos as Wallpaper: It also let's you set any photo from your collection as your desktop background. Although, it did not work in my case, but you can try to check if it works.
Multiple Setting Options: Phototheca provides multiple setting options to autosplit events, change background color and text size, skip small images during import, and much more.

The Final Verdict:

Phototheca is a nice Photo organizer software to organize photos. It provides great features to easily manage thousands of photos, but I think it would have been better if it provided a solution to organize photos on your system hard disk itself instead of the virtual environment of it's own library.

Although it does not harm in anyway by keeping the organized photos in it's own library, but some of it's features seems to be unrealistic with this kind of organization. Like you can keep your private photos in safe lockers, but other people may access them from their actual location unless you encrypt the photos. All in all, it's a nice and easy to use software, that could be a good replacement for iPhoto in Windows.
