The folks at ZURB have just released Bounce, a nice little tool which lets you take notes on websites and then share the URL with friends or colleagues. Bounce is basically a dressed down version of Notable, ZURB's full featured website feedback tool for teams. The user interface for Bounce is dead simple. Just input the the URL you want to take notes on and in a few seconds Bounce will ...

It seems like applications for quickly sharing screenshots are all the rage these days; first we get Gyazo, then we get extra sharing options with Screenpresso, and now we get dead-simple sharing again with SPGrab. SPGrab is slightly more powerful than Gyazo in that it lets you configure your own hotkeys and also select whether you want to capture the entire screen or just a section. By default, ...

Screenpresso, my favorite free utility for taking screenshots, has just updated to version 1.1. The most notable change in this version is that Screenpresso can now "clean" transparent title bars in screenshots; this means that even if you take a screenshot of a window in front of another window, it would still come out crispy-clean. This was one of the major features which "Goliath" Snagit had ...

Free stuff inside! Read on for details. I love applications that let me figure out where my time went; I was supposed to be so productive today! How come all that remains of the day is just images of LOLCats burning my retinas? SnapLogger is a program which helps answer questions such as this in the most graphical way possible: it records periodic screenshots (every 30 seconds, by default) and ...

Let's start with the part you all want to hear: TechSmith is celebrating Snagit's tenth version, and so has graciously provided ten Snagit 10 license keys for us to give away to DLS readers! So if you want one, just leave a comment and you may have a chance to win. You have until 11:59PM EST Thursday 13 May to enter the competition. Full terms and conditions follow. Open to legal US ...

Nirvana is a new to-do app, aimed mainly at GTD fanatics. If you love contexts, ticklers, "next actions" and various other GTD buzzwords, you'll feel right at home with Nirvana. The system is currently in invite-only beta, but they were kind enough to send me an invite so that I could review it. After the fold, you can see a fairly extensive screenshot tour that gives a pretty good idea of what ...

When it comes to screenshot applications, I am not easy to please. As a technical writer, screenshots are my bread and butter. I've used SnagIt, ZScreen, and even the Windows 7 Snipping Tool. Yet nothing comes close to the convenience of Screenpresso. Screenpresso is tiny. I have no idea what it's written in -- maybe some newfangled .NET thing, but it sure doesn't feel like the standard fare ...

Snagit is a flexible, powerful tool for capturing some or all of your screen, and it's now available for OS X as a public beta. It docks on a screen edge, where you can either click to pop open the controls, or drag it anywhere as a window. Snagit is extremely easy to use, thanks to a feature called "all-in-one capture." By clicking one big red button, you can capture a selected area, a whole ...

Download Squad isn't the only blog that gets dubious screenshots sent in by anonymous tipsters. Just a couple of weeks after we got some purported screenshots of the Google Chrome OS, gadget blog Boy Genius Report received some unsourced images of Apple's upcoming iTunes 9. Highlights include the Facebook support that blogs have been buzzing about lately, and the ability to sync non-iPod devices. ...

I've been using FastStone Capture for quite some time, but it may be time to pass screenshot duties on to another program. ZScreen is an extremely flexible alternative. The usual capture options are supported - full screen, active window, or selection and hotkeys can be mapped to a single key or to two or three key combinations. Handling options are numerous. You can capture to the clipboard, ...

Even before playing with the new Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, I knew that I would need to be able to take screenshots of the phone itself. Using a digital camera to capture screens externally just wasn't going to cut it. Because the Android platform is open (and now, open source), I really didn't expect this to be a problem. If anything, I thought there would be a way to take screenshots ...

As a blogger and IT professional I often need to make screenshots for things like showing a program window, instructing where to find an obscure setting, or making a witty LOLcat. Thankfully, Skitch is available to fill this need and make my screenshot tasks quick and painless. I didn't know about Skitch until it was released in public beta early this year. I downloaded the Mac-only client, ...

That picture of Fluffy is never quite the same once you blow it up on your big, HD monitor. Fluffy looks less cute and much more pixilated than in real life. In fact, a lot of pictures and wallpapers just don't look the same. The folks over at NerdBusiness have just the solution. They have assembled 218 HD wallpapers for your viewing pleasure. Everything from mint leaves to scenic photos to ...

Evidence is mounting that Microsoft has really given a select group of testers/partners an early look at the next version of the Windows Operating System. The other day a member of the Neowin forum posted a brief review of Windows 7 before deleting his comments. And now a Chinese web site has posted what could be real live pictures of Windows 7. Overall, these shots of Windows 7 (or an artist's ...

When we heard that AOL (this blog's parent company) was coming out with a new version of Desktop for Mac, we were pretty excited to see what they'd been up to since the last release five years ago. Now that we've had a chance to play with it, we like it but think it's still got a ways to go before there's a compelling reason to leave behind whatever browser / IM / email combo you're using now. ...
