Stream audio to different locations within your home
Your computer speakers are not the best method for listening to your music. You could burn your tracks to CD and then play through your Hi-Fi, but the snag is that you need access to your remote control, have to get up and change CDs and your limited to playing the tracks on the CD in your system.
Another idea would be to stream the tracks from your computer to remote speakers. You can do this through Apple iTunes, provided you have an Airport Express connected to the remote speakers. These speakers could be connected to your Hi-FI, to your TV or simply connected directly to the Airport Express. With this system, you can then choose the tracks you want to play through your speakers, without leaving your computer.
Airfoil is a software system that works in conjunction with Airport Express to enable you to listen to any audio source on your computer. This could be Windows Media Player, RealPlayer or any software that plays audio. Airfoil simply redirects the audio via your remote speakers, rather than through your computer.

Transfer files across the Internet
Ask most users what applications they’ll use to access the Internet and they’ll instantly mention a web browser and an email client. They might mention that they use a chat client, but would be pushed hard to think of another client.
Strange, as only a few years ago the primary application used to be an FTP client. Indeed, you never saw a complete Internet pack without a browser, email client, FTP tool and ICQ chat client. An FTP client will enable you to download files from the Internet much more quickly and you can resume files that have stopped downloading.
However, an FTP client is much more useful for uploading files, administering a server, a remote website or your homepage. You can quickly login to just about any website, with the correct username and password, then upload files, add folders, move around files and change around the site structure.
FTP software is very similar to using Windows Explorer, although you’d be working with two windows rather than the single pane.
Note that this is the Mac version.

Make the most of your phone
It doesn’t take long to realise that most modern mobile phones are capable of far more than simply making calls.
One way to get the most from a phone is to connect it to a computer to syncronise contacts or transfer media.
The Nokia PC Suite covers all of these tasks. It may have been supplied with the phone but it is worth checking whether a new version has been made available since.
A full list of all the phones compatible with PC Suite can be found on the Nokia website.
The phone can be connected if one is available or with Bluetooth or Infrared. The latter two are more likely as the cables are not always supplied and have the convenience of wireless.
Once installed the PC Suite can be used to backup all of the information on the phone in case of accidents and to install new software. Downloading software to a computer and then installing with PC Suite avoids data charges for the transfer.
Contacts and calendar items can be syncronise with Outlook as well as emails. You can even send text messages from the computer if the phone is connected.
It’s not all work as the Suite can also be used to transfer images and music between the computer and the phone. The Nokia Lifeblog helps to keep photos and music up to date on both devices.

Give your PC additional protection with this free security suite
Buy a new PC and you’ll often find it ships pre-installed with an anti-virus client. Sometimes you receive more than basic anti-virus support, but the first thing you need to do is go out and find more extensive security software to make sure your new machine is protected against every possible threat.
For this reason, various security developers have resorted to giving away more extensive free software. By combining anti-virus, anti-spyware and a firewall, Comodo have bundled a few of their free applications and published these as an ‘Internet Security’ bundle.
Comodo Internet Security is a free suite of security tools designed to protect you against the majority of threats you may encounter when you surf the Internet.
This basic Internet Security suite gives you widespread protection, but Comodo also publish a Professional version with additional features such as remote access for removing threats that have infected your PC and have stopped you being able to boot in to your PC.
The latest v3.10 now gives you access to the Comodo DNS service, improved support for Windows Security Center and more.
Note that there is a 64-bit version of Comodo Internet Security. The download here is the 32-bit edition.
