Free RSS Reader to Read and Share Feeds: ShareFire

Posted: 29 Oct 2012 07:00 PM PDT

ShareFire is a free information aggregator software which you can use to gather news and read RSS feeds from every website that has RSS feed support. Today keeping track of what’s going on online can be a very tricky thing, mainly because there’s just so many different places where new and interesting things can be read, and it would be a full time job to jump from website to website and read everything there is to read, with ShareFire things get a little bit more easier.

ShareFire interface looks very similar to an email client, which is a good thing, because users don’t have to get accustomed to yet another new program interface. Next to being a news aggregator ShareFire can also be used for news sharing, in several different ways:

Twitter tweets
Email messages
AOL instant message
Social network postings

There’s no integration with these services, you can’t use them from within ShareFire, when you decide to share something, browser, email client or instant messenger will open up and you can then notify your contacts about new and interesting things that you’ve discovered.

Similar software: Feed Turtle, RSSVoyage, Desktop RSS Ticker.

Free RSS feed reading and sharing with ShareFire

To start receiving updates via ShareFire you’re gonna have to configure it, which means that you’re gonna have to add RSS feeds of your favorite websites to the list of feeds which are being monitored by this free RSS reader:

This can be achieved by clicking on the Add Feed button, see image above. There’s no need to limit yourself on just one feed, you can add them as much as you want, and you can even group them in any way you see fit. Grouping is done by creating folders, you can do this in the lower left corner of the screen, look for the New folder button. Notice the share buttons present at the top of the opened feed, posting to social networks like Facebook, Google+, Delicious and others is available, or you can create direct tweets, emails or AOL messages of things that you find interesting.

Before tweeting it’s necessary to allow ShareFire access to your Twitter account. A pin will be asked of you, pin that Twitter gives you for authorization. After everything is connected, every time that you hit the Tweet this button in ShareFire browser window will open up where you’ll be able to make final edits to your tweet before it’s sent out into the world.

Conclusion

If you track a lot of websites and you simply don’t have time to visit them all and find out what’s new, you might want to consider this free RSS news reader which will show you a quick overview of news titles from several different websites at once. Next to bringing you fresh news, ShareFire will also allow you to share that which you find very interesting, through several different social network websites, hence its name, ShareFire. Application is completely free, it relies on Adobe Air, so make sure that you have it installed before deciding to try Share Fire.

Slenderman Game: Time For Revenge On Slenderman

Posted: 29 Oct 2012 03:00 PM PDT

Slenderman game is a free horror game for PC download; where you can take revenge on Slenderman. Visit Slenderman's house, find the gun, and kill him.

In this game you have to visit the Slenderman's neighborhood, enter his house, do a little adventure, and kill him. Be prepared for Slenderman's kids trying to stop you from killing his daddy. Be strong and brave because you have to kill his kids too or else you are dead.

About Slenderman Game:

Slenderman is a ghost character in the olden days; who can slowly drain your sanity. But Parsec productions brought that character to life, in the game Slender. I'm pretty sure they made more money with this horror game. And some more game developers designed different maps based on the Slender game and most horrifying deed I had to do is write about them too. I wrote Slender, Sanatorium, Elementary, and Slender for Android but I have always waited for a chance where I can shoot down Slenderman. Now Zach (hope I get a chance to meet and thank him) developed a game on behalf of 64Digits; where you can actually kill Slenderman. It's time for revenge guys; for all the scary moments we faced before.

This Slenderman game's goal is to kill him; not to find about his origins or some random notes. This game is not so compromising in terms of graphics but if you have that innate feeling to take revenge nothing can come in your way. But this game also has it's own style of fear factor hidden in it. Get ready for everything.

How To Kill Slenderman?

As soon as the game starts you are located beside a car (as shown in below screenshot) and you have to walk straight on the road to locate the Slenderman's house on the left. Slenderman has a pretty looking house, but he welcomes you in his own horrifying style. Look out for video cassettes; which are clues to find clues on a TV VCR. Sometimes you even have to chase ghosts running with keys that you need. The Slenderman kids are all over the house, they just climb on your face to kill you; get rid of them too. Solve the puzzles, get the key for opening the room which has the magic gun, and kill Slenderman.

Just left click to open doors, to hold things, right click to leave them, and use your mouse for looking around. Use [WASD] for movement, and shift key to run fast. Hit spacebar very fast when a Slenderman kid climbs your face; until he dies.

The game on a whole looks like an undercover operation because you enter Slenderman's house on a Birthday celebration (because he is always busy haunting people and never at home) and the game starts outside his house. Confront those fears of sudden appearances and thrill of killing Slenderman with a gun.

Copy Songs From iPhone To Mac: DeTune

Posted: 29 Oct 2012 10:45 AM PDT

DeTune is a free application for Mac OS X that allows you to copy songs from iPhone to Mac. DeTunes allows you to browse through the contents of your iPods, iPad, and iPhone and copy media and songs from iPhone to Mac.

Apple has made it really easy to copy songs from your Mac to iDevice by using iTunes, but has made it impossible to copy music from an iPhone, iPod, and iPad to Mac. I know it is a sad situation, you wanted a song from a friends device but you can’t, your hard drive crashed but you can’t, you bought a brand new Mac and want to copy your collection from your iDevice to it but you can’t.

But Now You Can.

There is a solution for these awful situations, here is when DeTunes comes into picture. It enables you to copy songs from iPhone to Mac in a very simple and straight forward way.

If you were looking for such a software for Windows PC then check out PhoneTrans.

How to install Detune for Mac:

To download DeTune just click on this link. It will re-direct you to the application’s download webpage from where you can download this application for free. Now, double-click on the installer, a window will open up and from there just drag the DeTunes icon into the application folder. And you are done with installation. Now you can start copying media from your iDevice to your shiny Mac.

Feature of DeTune for Mac:

Simple and easy to use interface. Just drag and drop to copy. To copy a song or other media files just select them in DeTune and drag the files to the required destination.
Copy your media and files from your iDevice to Mac seamlessly.
DeTune supports all iPad, iPhone, and iPod. This feature is just amazing.
It also has the ability to copy movies, music, ringtones, ebooks, and more from your iDevice to your computer.
But you cannot give listen to a song before copying it, the developer has promised that it will support this feature in the future.
The application also allow you to access files that are stored on your iDevice. But this is not turned on by default. To do so open up preferences and make the changes as shown in the screenshot below.

When you connect your iDevice to your Mac the application shows a brief information about the device that has been connected i.e., device name, model, firmware version, and capacity. This can be seen in the first screenshot of the application.
DeTunes does not display album art and one last thing that it cannot copy picture stored on the iDevice to your Mac OS X.
Things that you will not like about this application: it does not remove DRM and is not able to copy or view photos on the device.

Verdict:

DeTunes provide a simple and free solution that allows you to copy songs from iPhone to Mac. The good thing about the application is that it is free and has the ability to copy songs, music, books, movies, and can also open up the devices files system. This makes DeTune a very useful utility for your Mac.

Yes, there is a little work that is still remaining for now as the application lacks the ability to copy pictures from your iDevice to your Mac. But in total this is a really good application which is really simple to use that allows users to copy songs from iPhone to Mac and is useful in many situations.
