At every turn on the internet, someone's offering a free software download for your PC. But separating the wheat from the evilware-addled chaff isn't for busy users with better things to do than test applications all day long. That's where we come in.

Today we've got our top picks of free Windows software downloads that will make your PC faster, stronger, more functional and productive. This list was tough to whittle down from a huge field of candidate applications, but that means our 10 choices are that much stronger.

Lifehack: All-in-One Sidebar Firefox Extension

This is a cool Firefox Extension that adds a side bar to the browser. This is handy because instead or creating a new toolbar at the top of the browser it puts it on the side thus saving vertical browsing space.

"All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS)is a sidebar control, inspired by Opera's. Click on the left edge of your browser window to open the sidebar and get easy access to all your panels. It lets you quickly switch between sidebar panels, view dialog windows such as downloads, extensions, and more in the sidebar, or view source or websites in the sidebar. It includes a slide-out button and a toolbar, all of which can be extensively customized."

Lifehack: esnips Firefox Toolbar

esnips is an online file storage service that provides members with 5GB (5 Gigabytes!) of FREE online web storage.  The only limit is that no uploaded file can exceed 100 MB.  eSnips also has a nice Firefox Toolbar that allows you to save sections of web pages or entire pages to you online storage space.  One bonus is that you can create public and private storage folders and define who can access them.

For instance I have created a public space on esnips called Webhacks for storing links, snippets and files for my Vox blog posts about Lifehacks.

Lifehack - Use Logmein.com to Access Your PC At Home

Logmein provides Remote Desktop Connections for  pc's running Windows XP Home (or Pro) through a firewall/router using a Firefox plugin.  Sweet.  I have this set up on my 3 pc's at home which I can now access from my computer at work. 

This solves my longtime problem of accessing my music at home from work.  Now I remote desktop into my home pc and grab some music and upload it to Vox (or esnips or box.net) and then I've got my music.

Spring Where Art Thou?

A few days ago the temps were in the upper 40's, last week they reached the lower 50's but this today (March 29, 2007) it's in the mid 30's.  I know this is Maine but wtf?  I want some nice weather so I can bike to work.  I want them to shut off the heating system and open the windows.  I want to sit on a bench at Post Office Park in the Old Port and drink a frozen caramel frapachino.
