  • Five Best Desktop Comic Book Readers (Windows/Mac/Linux) There's a certain nostalgia to reading a paper comic book and flipping the pages, but if you can get digital copies of your favorite comics and you can use your computer's large display to read them, why not? This week we're going to take a look at five apps that can make downloading and reading comics on your computer fun and easy.
  • Win7s? Brings Mac-Like Screen Corners to Windows 7 (Windows) Win7s? brings one of Mac OS X's best features to Windows, letting you trigger different actions by moving your mouse to one of the corners on your screen.
  • The Best Disc Burning App for Windows (Windows) Windows has more disc burning apps than we can count, but a few notable programs stand out from the pack. Our favorite is CDBurnerXP for its long list of features and easy-to-use interface.
  • The Best Terminal Emulator for Linux (Linux) While your terminal emulator of choice depends a lot on personal preference, it's quite clear that the most powerful terminal emulator on Linux is the feature-filled Terminator.
  • Any.DO Is a Crazy Intuitive, Gesture-Based To-Do App for Android (Android) Android has a lot of great to-do apps, but few of them are as easy to use as Any.DO. You can add tasks by voice, manage them with simple gestures, and even use its predictive features to instantly add common tasks to your to-do list.
  • Simplier is a Lightweight Music Player for Macs that Uses Your iTunes Library (Mac) Sure most of us use iTunes to purchase music, but playing that music in iTunes is kind of a pain. For a lot less bloat and a more streamlined experience give Simplier a try-it's a simple music player that uses your existing iTunes music library.
  • Logo Maker for Chrome Gives You an Interactive Canvas to Design Your Own Logo (Chrome) If you have a web site or business, or just want a logo to identify yourself on social networks, Logo Maker is a Chrome add-on that gives you a canvas you can use to add and scale an image, apply text under it, and then export it as a PNG that you can add to your web site or upload as a profile pic, all without installing an image editor.
  • Tincta Is a Free, Fully-Featured Programming Text Editor (Mac) Our favorite programming text editor for Mac costs $40, so we're always excited when a good and free option comes along. Tincta is just that, offering several great developer-friendly features like code syntax highlighting, line numbering, autocomplete brackets, and much more.
  • Acoustic Ruler Pro Turns Your iPhone into a Sonic Ruler (iOS) Chances are you don't have a ruler on you at all times, but you probably carry your phone with you everywhere you go. Acoustic Ruler Pro is an app that converts your iOS device and its headphones into a ruler for quick measurements.
  • Evernote Clearly Makes Web Pages More Readable and Transportable Into Evernote (Chrome) Albeit a little late, Evernote has jumped on the improved web site readability bandwagon and introduced a new feature called Clearly. Much like most browser extensions and bookmarklets, it takes a given web site and converts the layout into a more readable format. This makes clipping web content to Evernote a lot nicer as you won't have to deal with improper formatting as the page transitions to your notebook.
