SnagIt 9.0 now available

by Christina Clark Aug 1st 2008

If you, like us, capture and edit a lot of screenshots, the new version of SnagIt might interest you. We have covered past versions so let's focus on what's new with 9.0.

Version 9 adds a sequential capture feature, automatic or custom tagging, visual bookmarking, ribbon-based menus, multi-image capabilities, a quick access toolbar and other features. The TechSmith web page lists better work flow as one of the main new features. You can decide if you want to capture everyhing and edit later or capture one image, edit, capture another, edit, etc.

The version is free to try and $49.95 to purchase.

$50 for an image capture tool ? They customers must be really really rich ...

How long can I try it for free?

30 days according to the website. Some of the older versions are available for free.

I use it all the time at work -- it's a great communication tool. Someone asks how to do something? Take a screen shot, add some arrows, send an e-mail, done in 30 seconds.

They got my $40 for the last version. (OK, work paid for it.)

I just use the snipping tool in vista. It's free, and just as effective.

Fireshot is a Firefox plugin that many of those features and doesn't cost a dime. Since it's a plugin, it's obviously less advanced, but it'll be enough for most people. I love the embedded uploader and the editing window.

Give it a try.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
