When deciding to review the various screen capture utilities I had never even imagined of certain aspects of it before stumbling across the tools that make them happen! One of these was turning a web page into an image. Considering that web pages often extend much beyond what can be seen on the screen at any instant, it becomes really difficult to pack them into a single image.WebShot is an extremely light and simple tool which does just that!
Simplicity Rules!
Once you download and install this light software, it opens as a small window with 5 tabs and a few listed options and settings. Using these settings and options you can decide the web page(s) to grab and the size, quality and other such aspects of the output image. Next, within a click and a few seconds you have your image ready! Its really that simple!
It allows you to capture multiple web pages at a time too and also generates a log after each capture.

If you want to use a software just for playing audio or video of popular file formats then I can suggest you to use KMPlayer. So that you don’t have use separate players for each file formats because KMPlayer can play all major formats like AVI, AC3, MKV, OGG, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, Real Media, QuickTime, VCD, DVD, etc.
The sound quality is really better and the visualization makes it look good, vast audio & video features are inbuilt in this player which makes it really better compared to other music players. Subtitle control is really superb and allows us to adjust font size and lot other, it becomes useful for those, who often watch foreign Language movies. Even you can improve the low-resolution video by using video effects & screen controls.
PROS of KMPlayer :
The simple user interface of this player makes you stick to it. It even plays a damaged or incomplete file just by skipping the damaged frame and as it supports some of Winamp plug-ins so it becomes a good choice. It can be moved to tray icon instead of task bar which saves precious space in the task bar.

I’m sure that there are many Gmail users who love it so much that their Gmail box has been already filled and are wondering that what next ? I’ve seen many blog posts and lots and lots of conversations in various forums where Gmail’s storage space has been constantly discussed with questions like “when do you think your Gmail space will be over ?”, “What is the percentage of Gmail space you are currently using ?” I’m sure you’ve answered these questions some time, haven’t you ?
Anyway, all the bells and whistles about Gmail’s storage stopped when Yahoo announced unlimited space for email storage but that was too late for Yahoo as the young and rich crowd shifted to Gmail.
However, now Gmail has decided to create some buzz again in the blogosphere by increasing the speed of ever increasing storage meter. I really wonder that till what time this fight over the storage space will go on ? Any ideas ?

After reviewing so many screen capture utilities, I came across an interesting online tool – Screencast-o-Matic.
It is an online tool that enables you to record your screen activity in a QuickTime video without needing to install any software on your hard drive. It also provides you the facility to upload your recorded video for free hosting. Doesn’t that sound really cool?
To use this tool, all you have to do is to log on to www.screencas-o-matic.com and click on the ‘Create’ button that appears on your screen. What follows is a step by step guide which asks you about the capture size, audio input and whether to follow the mouse with a red dot. Once you click on ‘Go!’, you are ready to record your screen. A box appears on your screen which should be placed on the area which you want to record.Thus even without any software installed you can record a video of your screen activity for free!
The only drawback that I found here is that the tool requires Java runtime files to work. In the absence of Java, you might not be able to use it. But who really doesn’t have Java installed ???
Although the utility is simple and doesn’t offer many extra features, it can be great help when you are in a cyber cafe or similar place and need to share certain screen activity.The tool is quick and efficient too.
So the next time you are not on your PC and feel the need to share your screen, you know the place to go!
Note : Thanks to Online Tech Tips, who showed us this service!
