4.4.11

I don't know about you guys, but as I'm writing this, it's rainy, cold and all-around crappy out. So today's programs are going to help you get through it.



1) Songbird

Get tired of all of the extra crap that iTunes puts on your computer? Want a media player that doesn't make you feel like you're selling out to the man?

"You want to give me your money."

Then you need Songbird. It's an open sourced media player that allows for add-ons. You can get add-ons that show the lyrics of the song playing, help you find new music, or even customize everything about the program. Pretty much anything you would want it to do, it does or you can make it. It also allows syncing with damn near any mobile device you might want to put your music or videos on.. Phones, MP3 players, flash devices, whatever.

The Dirty:
-Cross platform
-FREE
-Open Source
-Compatible with anything and everything (except Linux. No love for you guys.)



2) Freeciv

Do you remember the game Civilization? You could spend an entire day creating and establishing your empire as the best in the world, or completely screw everything up in the blink of an eye. Well, that game costs money. This one is the same idea, same concept, but free and not as flashy. This is a perfect way to waste an entire 24 hours of your life. It doesn't take that much space, it doesn't use that much system resources, and its fun. What else could you want?

The Dirty:
-FREE
-Cross platform (even Linux!)



3)  Angry Birds

“Lemme tell ya, these ain’t no ordinary finches we’re talkin’ about. These here are the Angry Birds, the ones that’s gonna kick you in the ‘nads. And they’re the ones on your side. They must be from Galapadapados, or sumptin’.” – Col. Angus, Bird Expert.

This is on the site. I really don't know what else to say. It's like if you could get an app on your phone to give you crack. Angry Birds is a game for most mobile platforms. You take birds and you shoot them at pigs with a slingshot.

The game is remarkably easy, but very addictive (like your mom) and will easily fill hours in the day with something to do.


The Dirty:
-FREE
-There are multiple versions of the game (Angry Birds/Angry Birds Seasons/ Angry Birds Rio) so you aren't going to get bored easily
-Phenomenal game physics
-iPhone/iPad/Android/Symbian
