Apple BootCamp supplies users with correct Windows drivers and configurations to let them use Apple Hardware with Microsoft Windows operating system. Sadly, these BootCamp drivers are not updated at par with their OEM Windows counterparts and trying to update these using OEM version does not work. Updating drivers gets specially compulsory in-case of bundled graphics cards (usually AMD Radeon) as newer games complain about outdated drivers which create compatibility and performance issues for them with the error shown below.

"Detected AMD Radeon driver version 11.1. The recommended driver version is 11.7. Please update drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing this game."

Last August, we reviewed the free Windows utility called PhoneClean, the uniquely designed application allows users to free disk space on there iPhone, iPod touch or iPad by cleaning up the files that are no longer useful to the system. The iMobie, creator of the program, has now informed us that PhoneClean has been thoroughly redesigned and upgraded to version 2, and its Mac version also available.

Festival season is coming and no gift beats a self-made Greeting card for your loved ones. I recently had the opportunity to review an easy to use application called “Greeting Box” - this application is designed to effortlessly create stunning greeting cards on MAC OS X (10.7 or higher). I’ll admit, I haven’t made greeting card in years; mostly because it’s too time consuming.

When I tried this application, I was able to create the greeting card below within minutes! I instantly became addicted. Before I knew it an hour passed and I was still playing with the array of options. My favorite feature is the New Object button located at the top left, that way you can add what ever you can say to the card. You can also add backgrounds to the cards with specified color.
