Buy software. Save money. It's a collection of the best software deals of the day for Mac and Windows.

If you're still on the fence about whether or not you should spend the time and effort to install a Linux operating system on your computer, I've compiled a list of the ten most compelling reasons why you should go out there and download that Ubuntu (or Kubuntu, or Xubuntu, or one of the other 'buntus) Live CD right away.

So the latest and greatest version of Ubuntu is finally here. It's been heralded as all kinds of things, but what I've been hearing the most about this open source operating system is that Gutsy will be THE operating system that will bring Linux into the mainstream. I figured with all of the buzz, I'd set up a little test.

I somehow managed to get a lot of beta invites over the past few days, and I'm sharing them with anyone who happens to stop by. All you have to do is drop a comment and you're in.

The Omni Group have been purveyors of fine software for OS X for years. Who'd have thought that you could actually get people to pay for a web browser? Business practices aside, today they released a brand new, if not boringly named, Getting Things Done program, OmniFocus. Don't let the company's obsession with the word "Omni" dissuade you--this one fantastic piece of software.

Joost has been one of my favorite programs to play around with since I first got my hands on an early beta copy. A lot has changed since then. Modified user interface, advertisements, new logo, and a hell of a lot of new channels, but the core of the program remains the same. The program instantly sucks you in. From the instant full screen mode to the fancy moving "loading" light swirls to a GUI that reminds me of several Mac programs, the 1.0 Beta version of Joost hooks you from the minute you fire it up.
