Bitdefender is currently offering a free 180 days license key promotion for computer users. This license key is meant for the following products; Internet security 2008, BitDefender Antivirus 2008 and Total security 2008. I’m not entirely sure how long the offer lasts but if you wish to put a try on it you better get it fast.

To get the free Bitdefender system go to this page. It’s obviously meant for Italians judging on the promotional page. The first box and second box corresponds to your first name and your last name respectively. Choose either of the 3 products mentioned previously, enter your email address and don’t forget to enter the captcha. The license key should be in your mail box shortly after that. The applications can be downloaded directly from this page.
For those who are looking for extra products details, go to Bitdefender Chart for comparison. For me, I will definitely be choosing BitDefender Total Security 2008 because it includes all features available in the other 2 products. So hurry up before it’s gone.

Sometime I’ve got some questions: how to set Screensavers from Powerpoint(PPT) file and how to create movie from PPT files that can be uploaded to Youtube or Google video. An this tutorials answers two common questions for you.

To Create Picture Screensaver from PowerPoint Slides.

Create an empty folder in “My Pictures” on your hard-drive. Now open the PPT or PPS file in Microsoft PowerPoint and click File -> Save As. Select “Enhanced Windows Metafile” in the file-type drop-down and click “Every Slide”

Your Powerpoint presentation is now available as EMF file in one folder. Right click the deskop -> Properties -> Screensaver and select the “My Picture Slideshow” screensaver. Browse to the folder where you save the PPT and you’re done. [Disable "Use Transition Effects" for best results]

How To Upload PowerPoint to YouTube or Google video.

First you must convert PPT files to movies files or flv files. Then you can upload to YouTube or Google video.

There are two option here – either run the PowerPoint as a full-screen slideshow and capture the desktop using some screen recording software OR make a movie from PowerPoint slide images. We’ll use the latter approach though you won’t see the animations or transitions in the PowerPoint movie.

Start a new project in Windows Movie Maker and import (Ctrl+I) the entire folder of images in the timeline that we created in the Screensaver hack above. Switch to storyboard in WMM, drag all the image to timeline and click Tools->Options->Advanced. Now change the picture duration and transition duration (keep this to a minimum value). Finally save the movie file – your PowerPoint is now a video.

While there are tons of online tools that help you make a funny photo, I recommend using photofun for your idea- it’s easy as well as customizable.

Step1: Go to photofun then select an effect (I’m used Paris Hilton effect for this picture).

Step2: Select your photo. Click Browser and select your photo then OK

Done !!
Now you’ve a funny picture !
