Halloween is almost here and if you’ve been wondering how you can combine your love of MMA with your Halloween festivities, here are a few suggestions. Be sure to send your photos of UFC-themed costumes to fanpic@ufc.com and we'll add them to our Facebook album. The best 100 UFC-themed costumes will win this limited-edition Zombie-themed UFC 122 poster - but you've got to get your pictures in by end-of-day Monday, November 1. Rampage Jackson If you have the endurance to lug a huge chain around your neck and you can do a good wolf howl, this might be a good option for you. Just stay away from anyone dressed like Chuck Liddell. Roy Nelson If you don't have the typical fighter body but don't want to be left out of the festivities, "Big Country" has you covered. Don a beard and signature Roy Nelson mullet. Some fight shorts and gloves will add to the costume. Keep it real by losing your shirt and rubbing your belly periodically. Herb ...

It's free, portable, and compatible with all versions of Windows from XP up as well as Server 2003 and above. It sits in the System Tray until you activate it with customizable hot keys. You can use it to zoom in on portions of the screen, move the zoomed portion, and even draw on the screen, with or without zooming. Zoomit's drawing mode accepts digital pen input and is compatible with tablet PCs. When you first run Zoomit, the Options dialog appears; there you can set your hot key choices or accept the defaults. We chose the default settings, Ctrl-1, 2, 3, and so on, for toggling the Zoom, LiveZoom (onl...

A Windows system utility worth paying for

Image
No one is a bigger fan of freeware than I am. Yet I have to admit that for some purposes, free software comes up short. One of those purposes is Windows system maintenance. If you rely solely on the tools built into Windows to keep your PC running safely and smoothly, trouble will find you soon enough. It may even find you if you rely on a single commercial package for protection. This point was driven home for me when I tested the new version 10 of Iolo Technologies' $40 System Mechanic utility package (a fully functional 30-day free trial is available). While there are many free system tools that do a better job of maintaining your PC than Windows' own utilities, none that I've used can match the thoroughness and simplicity of System Mechanic. (I reviewed Piriform's CCleaner and several other free Windows utilities in a post from February 2009, and back in April I compared CCleaner with IOBit's Advanced SystemCare Free .) When I ran System Mechanic...

When you right-click a Windows file, you'll often see menu entries for specific programs like WinZip or backup utilities; those menus were created by adding shell extensions to the operating system. NirSoft's ShellExView is a free utility that displays the details of any shell extensions installed on a PC and lets you enable or disable them individually. You can generate reports and save and export results to different file types for archiving or troubleshooting, such as diagnosing problems with context menus or when right-clicking is slow or doesn't work. ShellExView is standalone freeware that is totally portable, and at 54KB, it's tiny...
