Wavexpress retires TVTonic online video service
Filed under: Internet, Video, Windows, Freeware
If you've already installed TvTonic, you can still use it as a video podcatcher by subscribing to RSS feeds. And the download link for the Windows XP version of TVTonic still works, but the download link for the Windows Vista version appears to be dead.

Filed under: Fun, Games, Holiday Gift Guide, iPhone
If you're giving an iPhone or an iPod Touch as a gift, like thousands of other people this season, you might want to think about personalizing it with apps that your beloved giftee would enjoy. The iPod/iPhone has become a failsafe present: you don't have to know someone particularly well to know they'll enjoy it. Throwing some music and a few choice apps on there adds a personal touch and gives them something to play with as soon as they unwrap the gift. Here are a few of my favorite picks:RjDj (iPhone only) is a reality-hacking music experience that you have to see and hear to believe. RJDJ takes different musical "scenes" and incorporates the sounds of your surroundings into a unique, immersive composition. The developers pride themselves on creating "a digital drug which causes a mind twisting hearing sensation," and artists are creating new scenes all the time. RjDj is a great way to show off the possibilities of that new iPhone to the person you're giving it to. ($2.99)

Filed under: Fun, Games, Internet, Freeware, Time-Wasters, Web
I hope the genre of physics-based games on the web never dies, because they're just too damn fun. Color Infection is just such a game, where the object is to "infect" all of the yellow balls by turning them brown. Yellow balls are turned brown when they come in contact with brown balls, so the object of the game is to release the balls in such an order that every yellow ball is at some point touched by a brown ball. Because much of the game relies on balls slowly rolling down slightly inclined planes, the game can become very slow. Luckily, the game designer anticipated that problem, and if you tap one of the number keys on your keyboard while you are playing, the game speed will multiply by the number you pressed. I found the game to be mostly playable at 5x regular speed, but there are moments requiring very careful timing where I had to slow it down to 2x or even 1x.

Filed under: Internet, Video, Windows, Web
If you don't have a Slingbox, right now Sling.com is just another online video site that has an assortment of TV shows and movies from Fox, NBC, CBS, Sony, MGM, and web content providers like College Humor. Honestly, you can find most, but not all of the same content at Hulu.
Sling does plan to upgade its software so that Mac using Slingbox owners can also stream live TV. But right now anybody with a Flash enabled web browser running Windows, Mac, Linux or something else altogether can watch the web video streams from Sling Media's content partners - provided you're in the US. The content won't play outside of the region.

Filed under: Web
If you need a punchy visual element to spruce up your website, you might consider TinyTag. The holiday season is nearly upon us (check out the gift guides we've been posting here on Download Squad), so 'tis the season for colorful tags. TinyTag makes it really easy to generate one. Enter your text, choose a color, size and alignment, and that's it.Try line-breaking the text of your tag to adjust the size of each word. Once you've got it right, you can export to Flickr or Imageshack, and use the tag wherever you want. The simplicity of TinyTag is also its downfall, in a way. It would be nice to have more colors and typefaces available. Fortunately, the tags look pretty good as they are.

Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Productivity, Freeware
Recently one of our readers wrote in looking for help in tidying up a disorganized hard drive. I thought back to that post, and figured I might be able to use this app to further my organizational efforts.
Instead of leaving multiple folders of installers that I may only require once in a blue moon on my drive, I can use Folder2Iso to quickly convert the whole lot into individual ISO files. If I need and app in a particular category later, I just mount it with Daemon Tools and share it.
My tools folder is quite a bit more streamlined now. Everything I need on a daily basis is in a common folder, and anything else has been dumped to a single ISO file and labeled appropriately.
It's a nice bonus that I can also quickly burn an entire set of tools to give to a friend if I need to using ImgBurn. Folder2Iso is freeware for Windows only.
