The Windows desktop can be a fairly ordinary place, no matter what kind of background or wallpaper you use. The problem is right in front of you: boring rows of shortcuts.

Perfect Fake Webcam is far from perfect

When you hear the words "Fake Webcam," you might picture a cheesy plastic gadget that does nothing more than sit on top of your computer screen, pretending to be a Webcam, but most of the time it means software that simulates a Webcam feed using video files, images, screen captures, and other sources. Perfect Fake Webcam is such a tool. It can play video and still images over a simulated Webcam feed. Templates let you add backgrounds, frames, and animated themes to your video chat feeds, too. Perfect Fake Webcam is free to try for 30 days, though … Read more

Angry Baba is both fun and challenging

Angry Baba centers on a cast of characters who, in fits of anger, strike out at flying objects coming their way. The more objects you hit and the more you take out in the process, the more points and coins you accumulate.

To get started, Angry Baba offers a tutorial that lets you practice your striking skills and get the hang of the game. However, while we were able to send boulders soaring into the sky during the tutorial, we … Read more

The premise is to use your figure to slice ropes so that Om Nom, the … Read more

Manage your files with ES File Explorer

The default file control on Android seems attractive, but it's definitely not as useful as a custom explorer. ES File Explorer is almost the exact opposite.

When you open the ES File Explorer app for the first time, it gives you a few tips for navigating. Those aren't really necessary since the app puts everything right in front of you. It doesn't just … Read more

However, its top competitor is the free version of the software, which boasts most of the features you'll love about the paid version. They're just presented in a less polished package.
