PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator.

PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols.

These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs.

In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else.

doPDF^6.1 installs itself as a virtual PDF printer driver so after a successful installation will appear in your Printers and Faxes list. To convert to PDF, you just have to print the document to doPDF, the free pdf converter. Open a document (with Microsoft Word, WordPad, NotePad or any other software), choose Print and select doPDF. It will ask you where to save the PDF file and when finished, the PDF file will be automatically opened in your default PDF viewer. The video below shows how to create a PDF file from Microsoft Word (word to pdf):

Main benefits for using this free PDF converter:

• It’s free – PDF converter free for both commercial and personal use.
• 64-bit support – can be installed on 64-bit operating systems.
• No GhostScript – doesn’t require 3rd party programs to do PDF files (like GhostScript). This makes the setup file to be incredibly small compared to other free PDF converters.
• Customizable resolution – you can choose any resolution from 72 to 2400 dpi.
• Predefined/custom page sizes – choose a default page size (Letter, Legal, A4, A5, A6, …) or enter your own custom page size.
• Searchable PDFs – you can search for text within the created PDF file (and search engines will also index the text from the PDF).
• Multi-language – choose a language for the user interface from the 20 languages currently supported.
• Do your part in saving the planet – instead of consuming paper to print your document, why not create a PDF file out of it and spare a couple of planet-saving trees?
• Barely uses any computer resources – compared to other free PDF converters, doPDF barely uses any memory or CPU resources when doing the actual conversion to PDF.

doPDF is a free PDF converter, it is not a PDF viewer. To view PDF files you will need the free Adobe Reader.

Google Earth is a geographic browser — a powerful tool for viewing, creating and sharing interactive files containing highly visual location-specific information.

Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings and even explore galaxies in the Sky. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places and share with others.

Photo-realistic Buildings
With Google Earth 4.3, see 3D buildings faster and in more cities than ever before. Now you can access hundreds of new buildings from the world’s cities, including San Francisco, Boston, Orlando, Munich, Zurich, and dozens more.

Swoop Navigation
Fly seamlessly through the landscape with new navigation controls. Swoop from outer space to street level and leap from one building top to another. Use the look joystick to view buildings as if you were standing right in front of them.

Light and Shadow
With the new Sunlight feature, you can watch the sunrise and sunset from anywhere. Move the time slider to watch dusk, dawn and shadows move across the Earth.

Street View
Street View, available in Google Maps, is now in Google Earth! Fly into panoramic images of select cities and take a 360 degree tour.

Fly To Any Place in The World
Whether you are looking for a specific address, the intersection of two streets, a city, a state, a zip code, or a country, just type it into the “Fly To” box and hit Search.

Explore the Sky
Until now, Google Earth has let you zoom in from outer space to view our planet. With Earth’s new Sky feature, you can turn that perspective around and explore the wonders of the heavens.

View images of distant galaxies and nebulae from the Hubble Space Telescope, learn about the movement of the planets and the lifecycle of the stars, and more.

Sqirlz Morph allows you to mark features on several images, and the program mixes the images so that each feature on one image moves smoothly to the corresponding feature on the other images – a technique widely used in the film industry.

Multi-morphing is available – any number of images can be morphed together, so try mixing all your family’s faces at the same time! Morph animations can be saved as Macromedia Flash (SWF) files, AVI video clips, and bitmap and JPEG files.

You can morph one or more AVI videos as well as still images. There is a morph transition ’smoothing’ option.
