July 19th, 2011 by Korben No comments »

Uploading your photos on Facebook, it’s nice! but then what?

I mean, imagine that once you uploaded all your special memories to the king of social networking, you changed your mind. You are entitled to do so! But how will you get them back?

For the moment, your choice is very limited. You have to tediously right click on each one – 1 at a time -  and then ‘save as’. Long day ahead of you!

Except that once again, I am here to save the day :) this time with FBDownloader, a small app available on  Allmyapps that enable you to download an entire albums collection at a time:

  • Your tagged photos
  • All your photo albums
  • Or better still, your friends’ photos
  • Very handy, even if the app runs a little slow. You click on download album and all the photos from this album will be saved on your hard drive.

    The rest up to you!

Moo0 FileShredder – Effective deletion

June 21st, 2011 by Korben No comments »

You may not be aware of it, but when you delete a file from Windows (including from the recycle bin), this file is still easy to recover with the right tools.

It is possible as Windows doesn’t burden itself with throughout deletions in order to save time. Indeed, when you empty the recycle bin on your computer, the erased files are only dereferenced from the OS so that Windows can thereafter overwrite them with new files. That does not mean that overwriting occurs immediately. Therefore, the deleted files are still available on the hard drive until more data overwrite them.

But sometimes, we really don’t want to leave sensitive files lying around for a curious person to come snooping around. So a very effective solution to this problem is Moo0 FileShredder, a small tool available on Allmyapps, which allows the secured and effective deletion of files.
