Apple has started it’s case program now. Such a case solves the “Antennagate” issue. If you have purchased an iPhone 4 before September 30, 2010 you can get the free iPhone 4 bumper or a third-party case at now charge.
To get the free bumper or case you need to download the iPhone 4 Case Program app from iTunes. If you have already purchases a bumper you will get a refund from Apple.
I’m not sure if I want such a bumper. I did several tests regarding the “Antennagate” issue, but for me it’s not really a problem. To feel the iPhone in your hands is more sexy without bumper or case

Looking for free defragmentation tool? Then try Defraggler. I’m not sure what’s the advantage compared to the defragmentation tool from Windows, maybe there is one – who knows. Defraggler allows defrag of individual files and comes with Vista support.

There is a free version of TreeSize from JAM software available which calculates the size of all folders of your hard disc. You can also expand the folder Explorer-like and find out where all the disc space is wasted. JAM software also offers a professional version which is capable of scanning network folders as well.

You are looking for a video player which simply plays your movies? Sounds easy, but usually the Microsoft Media Player complains some missing codecs, other players are slow, often crashing… Watching different kind of video formats seems difficult on the PC. Too many formats are available, .WMV, .MOV, .MPG, .AVI and many more.
The crazy thing: .WMV is not equal .WMV. The codec behind is really a different thing. In my opinion best solution would be that only MPEG2 and MPEG4/H.264 would be used. But as usual licensing and other policital issues make it more difficult. So we are faced to a very high number of video formats and codecs.
Quite annoying for the user who only wants to watch a movie which will often not work. My suggestion is to use the VLC media player. It’s free to use, supports almost any video format and works on all well known operating systems.
Furthermore it supports many options for video streaming. Below is a screen shot of a NASA HD video which shows the Endeavor launch on mission STS-126. There you will find other HD videos.
