Skype is one webapp that you cannot do without. It offers a lot of functionality but the main feature missing, is the ability to record voice calls. This must have been something left-out by Skype for good reason. Privacy concerns must be on the top of that list. The usefulness of being able to record a business call cannot be undermined. Most business conversations over the internet can soon be lost and verbal agreements can be forgotten. With Phrozen Skype Rec however, you can now record Skype calls on Windows. It works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. The ability to record voice calls might not be of top priority for many users but for some however it can be immensely useful. The webapp once downloaded will work in the background -- when launched it will automatically detect voice calls on Skype and begin to record. Once you're done with the recording it can be saved in .WAV format. A simple solution for your question, how to record Skype conversations?How to record a Skype Call

Phrozen Skype REC: How it works.

Image Credit: PriceBlink

Web App PriceBlink works on a very cool concept when added to your browser. Let's say you are shopping on Target for an item; once you're on the product page, a PriceBlink popup will appear below your URL bar with similar items it might have found for a lesser price. It works on the concept of price comparison - without you having to physically search all online retailers who have the same or similar item for a much lesser cost. The app itself is non-intrusive meaning it just stays hidden in your browser and does not appear until you go shopping. Once you start searching and find an item you want to purchase it will automatically search for the same product online and give you a better deal. The deal must be available but it does cut down a lot of time and if you are a bargain hunter and want to shop for things with the lowest price this one is for you.

It works well with Chrome, Safari, FireFox and IE - simply install the app and let it do the work of finding great deals for you. In addition once you land on a merchants store online it will also search for coupons that might be available. So if you are shopping on Amazon.com PriceBlink will show you the best coupons available and you can get it with only a single click. The app is smooth and works silently in the background, PriceBlink works with most of the online stores available and is able to get you the best discount deals.

Simple English Wikipedia



Say you want to read a difficult subject that is quite technical but in simple English try Simple English Wikipedia.
