If you ask someone which computer remote control service they use, chances are that they’ll say TeamViewer. With version 8, several new features have been added, such as remote sound & video, Windows 8 support, session handover, remote printing, session recording, scheduled meetings, retina display support, deeper integration with Outlook, and more. You’ll find the full list of changes in TeamViewer 8 below. If you’re ready to download it, you’ll find the Windows link here, Mac OS X link here, and the Linux link here.

FRAPS 3.5.0 released – Supports recording 4GB+ files
One long-time complaint for FRAPS was the fact that it would split video recordings into 4GB files. This is fine for those who plan on editing their recordings anyway, but for those who just want to record a clip, convert it, and upload it somewhere, they couldn’t. With FRAPS 3.5.0, now you can, assuming your video recording directory is on a drive that uses NTFS, which supports a maximum filesize of 16TB. You’ll find the full changelog down below. Oh, and this is the first update to FRAPS in over 6 months.
Use Dropbox? Get double the referral space
If you’re a user of Dropbox’s cloud storage solutions, you’ll be happy to know that you can now receive double the amount of space that you can get from referrals. Previously, you’d be able to get 250MB of extra space when having people sign-up using your referral link. Now, that has gone up to 500MB. Head on over to Dropbox’s referral page (requires you to login) to start signing your friends up. If you aren’t already a Dropbox member, feel free to use my own referral link when you sign-up. If you aren’t familiar with Dropbox, it’s a free and powerful web-based file storage service. It easily allows you to upload your files, and even allows you to share them with people. It integrates deeply into your regular desktop OS, and mobile apps are available.
[Review] MetroTwit for Windows [Video]
MetroTwit is a very sleek and fully-featured Twitter client for Windows users. It uses a column-based interface, similar to TweetDeck, and has a lot of visual elements that were “inspired by Metro.” You can download and install MetroTwit and use it at no cost, but to remove the advertisements and to use multiple accounts, you’ll need to pay for a MetroTwit Plus license, which will cost you $14.95 AUD. I’ve been using the “Loop” version of MetroTwit for quite some time, which allows users to use nightly builds of MetroTwit automatically. Continue reading for our mini-review, and don’t forget to check out our video about MetroTwit down below.
Adobe Photoshop CS6 beta now available for free
Echofon for Windows is now available
As noted by Tech and Consumer, Echofon for Windows is now available, being free with ads and $10 with no ads (it was in beta a little over a month ago). Windows users are usually out in the dust in terms of quality Twitter clients, so it’s great to see this happen. This makes Echofon available for Windows, Mac OS X, Firefox, and iOS.
iMessage integration with iChat in the works
Earlier this summer, iMessage was introduced along side iOS 5. For those of us who have played around with it, we know that there is not currently a way to use this service on your Mac. As it turns out (see how I am using Apple employee talk there?) we may be in luck after all!
