JustSubsPlayer can add subtitles to any video [Daily Freeware]

Those of us with good hearing often take things like watching videos for granted. Thankfully most movies and TV shows have the option for Closed Captioning, which translates the dialogue to on-screen text. However, this doesn’t always apply to videos watched online. Thankfully there is a program that can assist you with adding captions to existing videos.

Use Air Playit to stream content to your Android or iOS device [Daily Freeware]

Smartphones and tablets are great to carry around, as they can carry out many different tasks for you, including playing music and videos. Unfortunately for those people with large libraries of media, these devices can’t quite hold it all. And those with older devices might not have more than a few gigabytes to store it all on. That’s why streaming is a good way to get the content you want onto your phone, and Air Playit looks like it could…

Show your opposition to SOPA/PIPA by participating in Internet Blackout on Wednesday

There’s a word that’s been floating around for the last few months that strikes fear into the hearts of internet users everywhere. SOPA. It stands for the Stop Online Piracy Act, and it threatens to disrupt the entire internet as we know it. Essentially, it gives copyright holders the ability to make entire websites disappear from the internet for hosting infringing material. What’s more is that even if the infringing material comes from a user who uploaded it to the…

Tubalr gives you a cleaner interface for watching YouTube music videos [Daily Freeware]

YouTube is one of of the most revolutionary websites to come out of the last decade. It gave us the ability to not only share new video creations of our own, but to watch commercially-produced videos any time we wanted. Of course, it took a long time for the record labels to agree to have their music videos on the site legally (with advertisements and such), but now it’s pretty easy to find most songs that you want. When there’s…

blip.me turns your phone into a walkie-talkie [Daily Freeware]

When I was a kid, my brother and I had a pair of walkie-talkies that we loved. We would always carry them around, regardless of what game we were playing outside, so we could keep in constant contact. These days cell phones have pretty much rendered such devices obsolete (though they do still have their uses, I admit), but if you want to recreate those youthful days, you can do so with a free app for your smartphone.

Would being paid for each visit make you more likely to hit the gym?

If you work a job that requires you to sit at a desk for the better part of your day, getting down to the gym is generally a good idea. Whether you want to tone up or shed a few pounds, you’ll find everything you need to get a proper workout there. So why do so many people (myself included) find it so hard to make it there on a regular basis? Sometimes it seems like no matter what you…

Free Photo Converter compresses your images quickly and easily [Daily Freeware]

When you’re uploading a picture to your website, or sending it to someone via email, you generally want the file to be as small as possible. After all, the larger it is, the longer it takes to load. What’s interesting is that reducing the size of a picture won’t necessarily reduce the quality. And when I say �reduce the size� I don’t mean that you’re changing the dimensions of an image, but rather how much space it’s taking up on…

Winter Wake Up app rouses you earlier when it has snowed [Daily Freeware]

It never fails. You forget to check the weather, and your alarm goes off in the morning at the same time as always. Then you get up, grab a cup of coffee and look out the window to see it. Snow. Lots and lots of snow. Quickly, you throw on your clothes, pull on your boots, gloves and hat, and grab the shovel, in hopes of getting your driveway cleared before you have to leave. And even if you manage…

Steam for Android gives you the power of Steam on your phone [Daily Freeware]

If you’re a PC gamer, then there’s a very good chance that you’ve used Steam. For those not familiar, Steam is a platform that was designed by Valve to make buying, downloading and playing games as easy as possible. With great sales and plenty of features, there are few reasons not to use it. One of my only complaints is that Valve has yet to release a companion app for any mobile platforms. Thankfully, one company has decided to release…
