Sites: FreebieJeebies

Freebiejeebies is a website that "gives away" computers, electronics or other "gadjets" for "free." The first impression given is that it is a scam. Not completely true. It is one- hundred percent legitimate, but it has a cache. The cache is you have to either:
A) complete one "risk free" offer and get one referral that requires your credit card.
or
B) get a preset amount of referrals, depending on the item. for example, the Ipad requies 22 referrals.
A "referral" requires two steps:
1) the referred person must click the link you are provided with.
Then
2) The referred must sign up to the freebiejeebies site from the link you provide
Overall, if you think you can get enough referrals or complete one of the offers, then FreebieJeebies is a very rewarding site that is proven to work.

 

Software: LCARSx32

LCARS x32 is a beta Windows desktop "shell" based from the "L.C.A.R.S." computer system seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The original developer of LCARS x32, describes "x32" like this:

"...It transforms your Windows based PC into a 24th Century LCARS terminal. The goal of LCARS x32 is to make LCARS truly functional. Most implementations of LCARS are all flash and no function--or limited function. LCARS x32 takes the opposite approach. Although it stays true to the LCARS look and feel, it is also able to be used on a daily basis as your shell..."

Features and Applications:


+ Voice Commands: LCARS x32 has had voice command capabilities since the second release. unfortunately in the latest "incremental build", voice commands do not function. The next build should have this issue solved

+ On Screen Keyboard(OSK): LCARS x32 comes with a simple OSK that has a matching graphics- keypad and funtionkeys pending


+ Color Mapper: allows you to change the colors of the LCARS graphics


+ Modes:LCARS x32 currently has four graphics "modes". Three of these modes are based off of different L.C.A.R.S. terminal arrangements seen on Star Trek. The fourth was just recently designed for ease of use on a touch screen during any situation (example given was when you have "greasy sausage fingers"). Another feature pending is a "mode select" screen to make going to your preferred mode faster


+ LCARS explorer: allows you to browse your files in the LCARS interface. it has copy/paste, delete, and renaming capabilities

There are several other features in LCARSx32, for example red alert, auto destruct , and a variety of other things.
Overall, LCARSx32 is a fun, usefull, and fairly stable program for anyone who is tired of the same old Windows interface. Installation is a little bit confusing if you dont know what you are doing; you run the extractor program, then double click LCARSmain.exe. On the whole, LCARSx32 is a nicely done piece of software.
