Free 3D Titanic Screensaver from Giveaway Of The Day

From the developers description:

"She was the biggest and the most luxurious liner of her time. But the maiden voyage of the “ship of dreams” ended as a nightmare. Dive into the depths of the Atlantic and explore the mysterious world of the Titanic imbued with the spirit of the past.

See flashbacks of this beautiful vessel sailing across the ocean. This truly realistic setting will bring memories of the Titanic back to life. The story lives on…"

Little Bears Commentary : I guess some people like screen savers however I feel its an insult that people need a screen saver to tell a sad event... If you really want to know the real story behind the Titanic, you might be more entertained picking up the book, reading it, or watching the movie.

But for the screensaver lovers, here is the link to download:  http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/3-d-titanic-screensaver/

Free Aqua Bubble Game from Realore Games (Weekend Friday Game)

Hey everyone! I was right! Realore did post the free game for Friday! I guess I jumped the gun to post that there was not a free game.

It's Aqua Bubble. It seems to be a repeat but there are some people who might have missed it before.

A short description from the developer:

"Discover Aqua World with the valiant hero - Aquatic! Aqua Bubble is a game for the whole family!
Being unable to stop the bubbles invasion, Aquatic cried out for help. You can become his saviour! You can stop the flood by using all possible means to destroy aqua bubbles. Shoot congestions of aqua bubbles neatly to burst them. Aquatic will help you by providing bonuses and warnings in case of danger. Protect the innocent creature and rescue his little house!"

As the standard format at Realore Games you must have an account to login to the site to download the free game, then you can save the game to a flash drive to where you can install it  later if you wanted to.

Here is the link for the game http://realore.com/games/free_game/

And below are some screenshots of actual gameplay.

Free Fast WhoIS software from Bits Du Jour!

I borrowed the description from the newsletter I have gotten. It's word for word and credit goes to the original author who compiled this description:

"Iguanas. That's your target market. Actually, it's the owners of iguanas, but you know what I mean. You identify the top fifty sites that cater to iguana-lovers, and you start to track down the contact info for each website. By the time you went to bed, you'd only gone through five, and the prospect of facing another day of looking up registration information is, shall we say, far from compelling.

A large part of marketing to website owners involves research. Identifying the websites that would be interested in your product or service is fairly easy and straightforward, it's finding out how to make contact with the people who matter that's a little difficult.

Most websites have contact information, sure, but you'd sure like to be able to send your ideas and proposals to an actual person instead of an info@domain.com email address. And while you know that you can look up the official registration information for any given website manually, your list of target websites is long and there are only so many hours in your workday.

With Fast WhoIs, you can automate the process of gathering contact information for an entire list of domains, quickly and easily. Just feed your list of domain names into Fast WhoIs, and let the program do your research for you, or let Fast WhoIs run in the background as you do your work. When it's done, all of the contact information, including names, email, and postal addresses, is conveniently saved to a file or to multiple files based on domain.

Fast WhoIs also makes it easy to acquire a domain name from any URL. Just select which domains you want to look for, select the URL in which to look, and press "start". The resulting domains can then be added to the queue and queried against all available Whois servers!

Fast WhoIs isn't just for marketing, either. If you're in the business of buying domains, Fast WhoIs can help you efficiently assemble your contact list, which means that you can get to negotiating the sale of those domains that much faster.

LITTLE BEAR'S COMMENTARY:

If you don't think you will have a use for their software, trust me that time will come soon when you least expect it. From screen measuring tools. to window resizers, you name it they got it. And the best thing? Their prices are REASONABLE and not RIDICULOUS!

You will need to click the green button that says "Get It For Free!" 

Standard : You need to fill out your email address and of course your name too. You will get your license key in the email after registration.

Free Screen Recording Suite from Giveaway Of The Day!

From the developers description of the program:

"Screen Recording Suite is a simple yet very powerful screen recording program. It can record all screen and audio activity on your computer: mouse movements, clicks, keyboard entries, and more – to any video file format (AVI, MP4, FLV, SWF, 3GP etc).

It could also work as a Webcam Recorder, helps you to record video and sound from Webcam, so you can record video on MSN, Skype, GTalk while you are making video calls with your friends."



Well these kinds of programs come in handy for developers who need to record demonstrations of their applications and for people who need to record other things on their computer. It should be noted that today's giveaway installs an unsigned driver which is required to use the program. The driver is safe according to the developer and it does not harm your computer. I have tested the program myself and it did not harm my computer nor crash it. The developer says they are applying for a Verisign license which will remove the warnings from the installation in the future

Followup to GOTD article on who to trust - A competitors response

Like we said, here at Little Bears World Of Freebies, we like to give all sides of the story when it comes to issues arising from Giveaway Projects. If you remember, I posted an article yesterday where GOTD talks about who to trust in the industry when it comes to Giveaways. The following rebuttal is from Daily Software Giveaway. I have removed personal user names for privacy reasons.

"Hello,
Some of the user of DSG tell us about this post on your blog.

blog.giveawayoftheday.com/who-to-trust-giveaways-inforgraphics

According to you that we can post software without Developer Permission(or offer the cracked version),but if you can ask the developer of the software,then they we will tell you that all the software published on daily Software Giveaway are Fully functional and Legal.

You have mention one point about trustworthiness of the site,then you can check the trustworthiness of Daily SOftware Giveaway at WOT,and please read the comment about the Website.A GOTD Forum Admin "removed for privacy reasons" posting the Negative Comment about the Daily Software Giveaway.You can find it here.

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dailysoftwaregiveaway.com

We just want to tell you that please don't tell anything about the Daily Software Giveaway which is not true.We are not expecting from this from GOTD.

Thank You
Daily Software Giveaway"


Little Bear's Feedback for Daily Software Giveaway:


You guys have been pretty cool when it comes to Giveaway's but there are times when we don't know if a Giveaway is rerun, or not offered. Additionally your service does not have forums, if you have noticed, I recently started free forums through a service called ProBoards, its absolutely free and it allows you to interact with your readers when it comes to Giveaways and you can be more responsive to problems should something arise from a download that was offered. There were also a select few times where Giveaways were not activated and they were still a trial despite going through the proper troubleshooting procedures.


I give my readers lots of choices when it comes to free software Giveaways that's why I've listed your site as an XML feed so my readers can see what you have offered from Day-to-day. I would like to see an HTML widget similar to GOTD in the future however that shows only the current product given away :)

Giveaway Of The Day Vs The Competitors : Beware of copycats they say...

An interesting article today was published by Giveaway Of The Day that compares their Giveaway site to the copy cat format of another site. They did not mention the site, but I have a pretty good idea what it is. I won't mention the site either but I thought I would publish the link for the article here so you can compare

http://blog.giveawayoftheday.com/who-to-trust-giveaways-inforgraphics/

And if the competitor has something to counter when it comes to their blog post, I'll post their response too. Because here at Little Bears World Of Freebies, we don't just give one side of the story, we tell them all.

Free Audio Grail Software from Daily Software Giveaway

Here is a description of the software:

" AudioGrail (Formerly K-MP3) is the swiss army knife for everthing that is related to audio files (MP3, MPC, OGG...). It can very easily rename and tag (tag: info such as artist name, album, track title) your files automatically. It can also analyse quality, organize files on your system, find duplicated files and improve your everydays audio experience ! "

Just a heads up to anyone thinking of downloading today's software. There have been previous titles offered by this developer (KC Softwares) who have included downloads that some may consider to harm their computer, or not have a choice to opt out of. While Daily Software Giveaway has been somewhat proactive in this regard, stopping Giveaway's and re-running them when the security issue in the software was fixed, It's unknown why today's Giveaway from them is being rerun. All the advice I can offer is make sure you have a very good security software on your computer and scan the archive before installing to check just in case. 

If you still want to check out the software you can go here: http://www.dailysoftwaregiveaway.com/2012/04/todays-giveaway-audiograilre-run.html

Free SterJo Portable Firewall Pro 2.8 from Giveaway Of The Day!

From the developer description found at Giveaway Of The Day:

"The SterJo Portable Firewall is perfect software for you. This is innovative security program designed to prevent intruders from accessing your network even if it is run from a USB drive. This way you protect your computer from any kind of unauthorized access that could damage your system. SterJo Portable Firewall is a very convenient way of keeping your PC from any hacks or breaches even without installing the software. Just run it on your PC or laptop and you are ready to go.

This is advanced easy-to-use software with ability to watch for all ports on your system and block them if necessary.

SterJo Portable Firewall is the easiest and most convenient firewall software you could ever have. Experience the comfort it offers and enjoy surfing the net without having to worry about anything!"

While its true that a Firewall is an important necessity in today's computing society, if you are not an expert at how they work, you run the risk of turning off your access to the internet if you block too much stuff. 

And from the screenshots here: http://www.sterjosoft.com/portable-firewall.html It looks likes its aimed towards the user that knows what he or she is doing and wants to control the ports going in and out. 

This Giveaway is valid for 4/24 only where Giveaway Of The Day will replace this software with another Giveaway. Make sure to pay attention to any activation procedures that the software might carry if you plan on installing this!

Giveaway Link : http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/sterjo-portable-firewall28/

P.S Sorry for no screenshots here as their template on their webpage was probably designed so people don't hot link to their images.

Free Window Nudger Software from Bits Du Jour! (4/24 only)

From the developers description at IconIco:

"Window Nudger is the perfect tool for the keyboard warrior in all of us! Imagine being able to move, resize, cascade, tile, drag and hide any application window using simple hotkey combinations! Window Nudger even lets you set the distance between cascaded and tiled windows.

Window Nudger is the smart choice for anyone who’d rather not fuss with a mouse to perform common Windows tasks!"

Now I don't know about you but sometimes, I wonder how to resize an app, when the app itself does not provide the controls nor means to do so. It seems they are using a combination of commonly used keys to perform the resize. But I'm hardly the keyboard warrior I once was when playing MS DOS games.

I'm not sure about you, but all of these key commands throughout the program interface certainly confuse me, I think the power user would really appreciate something like this. Go figure. I do have plenty of screenshots I took so you can see what the interface of the program looks like and all its commands and keys.

In order to get today's deal, you must first visit here : http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/window-nudger/

There is a green button at the top right that says" Get this Deal " 

You have to enter your email address and a few other details, and then checkout. 

Download the trial software and look out for your email box, there is a receipt that will show you , your activation key. You will need this to fully unrestrict the program and make it fully functional. 

This is a Giveaway that is valid for today 4/24 only

Free Digital Physiognomy 1.83 software from Giveaway Of The Day!

Setting aside the bullcrap factor and everything around it... presenting today's Giveaway...

From the developers description:

"The idea of Digital Physiognomy is simple. It works like a police sketch but reveals person’s temper, intellect, level of optimism, conformism – adventurism, egoism – altruism, laziness, honesty, and even luck.

First upload a photo or push the keys ‘Ctrl+V’ to paste an image stored on the Windows Clipboard. Next create a sketch the traditional way – piecing together individual features. The program let you see a psychological profile and PType based solely on face image."

While this program is for "entertainment purposes only" It's no rocket science to see what my facial expressions mean to me through the use of a computer science, either im angry, confused crazed or throw anything out there about me you want! 

Well I tried to throw my image in there just for giggles to see what would happen and I got lost using the program. Perhaps someone else out there knows how to work this because I'm flat out of ideas. 

Still if you like software like this, you can have it. 

Here you go : http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/digital-physiognomy183/

Free Kingdom Elemental Game from Game Giveaway Of The Day. (PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED)

SPECIAL NOTE - TODAY'S GAME GIVEAWAY CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT (BLOOD) THAT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER GAMERS, PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED...

Happy Sunday Everyone! I got quite a bit of feedback yesterday that yesterday's game was not that impressive nor interesting. I just post the availability of games, nothing more, not able to pick and choose! We are in a blogging world where we are free to pick what we want on our computers and what we don't like.

Here is hoping that today's offering may change your mind :)

Today's offering is a Role Playing / Strategy type of game called Kingdom Elemental.

From the developer of the software:

"Kingdom Elemental takes core game play elements from real-time strategy, tactics, and role-playing games and combines them into a game that is painfully easy to pick up and play without committing your entire life, unless you have no life… in which case you may not find Kingdom Elemental to be an adequate substitute.

Kingdom Elemental features nigh unlimited number of possible tactics by pitting combinations of your upgradeable heroes and their unique abilities against hordes of unique enemies like GIANT RAT MOBS! Everyone loves giant rat mobs with their secret furry pockets full of gold and armor! Seriously no giant rat mobs, but thARR be Pirates! Giant War Pigs! A crypt full of living dead who are just begging to be killed… again.

Knights who no longer say “Ni!”, a Flaming DOOM bear who would like nothing more then to BBQ you for lunch, and so much more! The demo is free to check out so you have nothing to lose… except maybe your soul. In short Kingdom Elemental Tactics is like a whack to the head with a +8 Sword of Awesomeness!

I played around with the game some this morning, while its no Fate or Torchlight, this game is quite different then the usual game giveaways they host on their site, it does offer elements of challenge and presents a good solid amount of gameplay. 

Today's giveaway , you need to pay close attention to the activation / setup sequence. You should create a folder on the desktop, a new one at that, then you need to copy all the files you get from the zip file into the new folder on the setup. Run the Setup.exe file and you should have your game files copied into c:\Games

If you notice a Kingdom elemental folder inside the file you download, don't delete it, I don't know if they duplicated the program inside the setup file or not, but I was confused to say the least.

It should be noted that the screenshots I've borrowed for illustrative purposes, it mentions the word ALPHA so this should mean what you see , may not be reflective of what you see on the actual game. 

And of course, the site moderator, WhiteRabbit-UK always has some excellent commentary and explanations about all the game giveaways each Saturday and Sunday. 

Here is where you can get today's game, which is good until 11:59pst and there will be another Game Giveaway the weekend after.

So it is not just a clock, It could be your life assistant."

Now lets back up a bit and focus on the life assistant part. You mean I need a program to help me tell the time? Think back to all the personal organizers I've posted on this Giveaway site and give me one good reason why I need this on my desktop? From playing around with the program, you can only change the color scheme of the clock it appears. No skins! I suppose its nice for those who want to integrate color into their desktop.

At least its light in file size however, but it wants $19.99 for the program. However some people have noted they wanted to pay $9.99 for the program, the developer has done this, and it appears the software is discounted half off, for today only. It should be also noted that this 50% discount not only applies to XUS Clock but also the entire XUS Soft catalog as well. 

If you still feel inclined to download and play around with this program, here is the link for the Giveaway : http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/xus-clock-plus/

As with all Giveaways from Giveaway Of The Day, you need to unzip the setup file and look at the ReadMe.txt file before proceeding. If you don't do this, you might not be installing things correctly.

Free Aqua Pearls Game from Realore Games!

I know I know! You don't need to tell me already. Just when we thought a variety of games would appear from Realore, the Aquatic Theme comes back out of the blue. Nothing wrong with that but it seems that their "under the water" themed series of games look very similar with each other. Well this game is different. At least the graphics are pretty to look at, and actually polished!

Here is the game description :

"Aqua Pearls takes you on a fantasy adventure at the ocean bottom. Your mission is to find a stolen necklace that protects four oceans from evil. The game shines with plenty of match-and-pop puzzles, superb visuals, animations and author’s music."

If you played any kind of game, Luxor or Zuma, this game follows that style of play.

To get this free game, head on over to : http://realore.com/games/free_game/

You need a free user account to download the game, either create a new one, or you can use your Facebook account to log in.

Be aware , this game offers to install a toolbar and change various search settings, If you don't want any of this , make sure to uncheck those boxes before you install the game! I've attached a screenshot so you can see the boxes you have to uncheck.

Have fun!

Missed the Zoom Player Giveaway back awhile? Don''t Worry! There is a free edition available to use!

Back when I reviewed the Giveaway version of Zoom Player, from GOTD, I was really impressed with its feature set for being an all in one media player. It had that professional polish to it. It's been brought to my attention now that there has always been a free version of the program, although with limited features versus the paid one. But for casual users such as me, and maybe a few of you out there, its just the perfect alternative to players such as VLC and Media Player Home Cinema.

Here is a few screenshots! And in case you were wondering about one of the photos? That's Bob Barker from the Price Is Right back in 1973! Just look at Zoom Player playing movies from the past! See I told you it can play anything!

At first, I thought this would be a scam of a Giveaway where they would call it the latest version and only give you limited features but nope, this is the full version version of the program , in all its $79.95 price tag glory!

Free Genie Timeline Backup Basic 2012 from Giveaway Of The Day (Valid 4/19 Only)

I guess this week , Its either photo , video, or backup utilities! I guess you win since you can't back up enough stuff!

Here is another software of the backup flavor called Genie Timeline

Simply install it on your computer and set it up in just 3-simple straightforward steps in which all your important documents, photos and music are backed up to a recommended backup destination."


Fair is fair, I have to report my experience of the product. I installed it, and then tried to register the program, to look at it, When inputting the registration key, my computer because unresponsive! I had to kill the process from the task manager in order to stop it. I had to scan to see if my computers hard drive got messed up in the process but thankfully it did not. Now I'm not going to say, that everyone who installs this program will have the experience I did, but its safe to say if you don't own a backup device, you don't need this as its pointless to backup something from the primary drive onto the same drive!


Still if you want to have this program go here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/genie-timeline-basic-2012/

You have to install the program, and then open the readme files and look where it shows the address to get your license key. Without it, you can't use the full program features!

Shareware Alert : Stardock Software Releases Acoustic Bridge 1.0 for PC.

From time to time , Little Bear's House Of Freebies examines some of the hottest, latest software from leading companies, and today's focus is on Stardock Acoustic Bridges.

here is the product description per the official page:


"Acoustic Bridge gives you the power to redirect audio from one PC to the speakers of another PC. This enables you to send the sound from a PC with your music collection to any other PC on your network. 

You could even visit friends and redirect your PC audio output to their PC and speakers. Use the best speakers available wherever you are.

Centralize the sound output from multiple PCs to a single PC. This enables you to transfer the audio notifications from any application, such as chat and mail programs or stock price alerts, from your desktop to your laptop.

Redirecting your PC audio output is as simple as clicking the Acoustic Bridge icon to toggle sound between your local PC and another PC. Acoustic Bridge will send or receive sound from any PC on the network that has Acoustic Bridge installed.

 Install Acoustic Bridge on up to 4 PCs for one price" 

I wish I was able to test this given the right environment but I just don't have the technology setup nor resources to do this, but It does look cool however! Stardock Software has always made cool things and I'm sure this one won't dissapoint for users who can utilize such technology.


If you want to check out this program , you can see it here: http://www.stardock.com/products/acousticbridge/

Get a free game each month using the Alawar Game Box.

From the reference accessed here: http://company.alawar.com/technologies/a_player.php

"Alawar Game Box is the perfect tool for end users, as it contains a catalog of our entire library of releases. What's more, the collection is organized according to a few basic categories, allowing users to find the kinds of games they'll enjoy with no trouble. In addition, each game has its own product page offering a short description, several screenshots and the system specs needed to run the release. Even better, the catalog is updated automatically, so users don't have to visit our Web site to get new games, product updates and news.After selecting a product page, the user can download and install the game. Next, the game will appear in the "My Games" section of Alawar Game Box, where users can launch the application. After the trial period is over, the user will be given the option to purchase the registration code that turns off any time restrictions and unlocks the full game. Best of all, Alawar Game Box helps users keep a clean desktop since the one Alawar Game Box icon replaces the dozens of shortcuts that appear when installing multiple games."


In theory, this is a Games Jukebox that organizes purchases made from the companies site and makes them all into one center for easy access. You can delete shortcuts created on the desktop after game installation and then use the console to play them. 


There is an incentive to using the Game Box. Even if you do not purchase something, everyone gets a free game each month. The free game being given out is the same for everyone, you do not get to pick or choose.

This month, the game box is giving away the full version of Fashion Season. There are limitations to the program license, if you have to reformat the computer, you lose the download as there seems to be no way to tie the permanent download to a registered users account or what have you.

The link I mentioned above will link you to the Game Box where you can read what I just posted here, and get the Gamebox for yourself.

Here are a couple of screenshots I took so you can get an idea of what the program looks like from a Little Bear's perspective / point of view :)
