Read MoreMux Online Video Converter – Fellini to Spielberg

When you’re on your way out, you press print and out pops a full list created by the internal thermal printer. Not only that, but you can add…

Gizmo Call is offering free calls to landlines or mobile phones around the world. Just type the phone number in the box and press call (the first time you use it, a browser plug-in will be installed). Calls limited to 10 minutes per day and there appears to be a small print $5.00 limit on the page, so it looks like another one of Michael Robertson’s marketing schemes. Still an interesting idea though. Tags: voip, internet+phone

One of the worst. This has been a…
