Evernote launches into open beta, introduces premium accounts

If you're not one of the 125,000 people who got a chance to try out the cross-platform note capture app Evernote during its private beta, don't despair. Evernote has launched an open beta, so now everyone can give it a try. If you were already in the beta, does this change anything for you? Yes, indeed it does: there are now two types of Evernote accounts, free and premium.

Free users keep all the features of the closed beta, with the caveat that you're now limited to 40mb a month of uploaded notes. If you're a power-user, or someone who's really sold on the Evernote lifestyle, go premium for 5 bucks a month or $45/year and get rid of that cap. Premium also comes with the option of SSL for all your uploads (for all those pictures of the enemy base, we guess) and priority access to the queue for Evernote's text-recognition features.

Mac Switcher: Three ways to take screenshots

The word on the street these days is that switching to a Mac will give you a bunch of new stuff - all sorts of fun software to play with, a CEO with his own Reality Distortion Field™ and a small, rabid cult following that we don't necessarily recommend you join up with. One thing you lose, however, is that Print Screen key; setting up a Mac desktop or notebook will reveal that the key is nowhere to be found, apparently leaving us out in the cold when it comes to capturing that golden moment on your display.

Fortunately, this isn't the case. In fact, Apple built two great screenshot tools into the Mac OS X software (in other words: they're free, and if you're on a fairly recent Mac, you already have them installed). One is a dedicated app, while another is a handy set of universal keyboard shortcuts that are always right at your service.

CamStudio is video capture sweetness

CamStudioCamStudio is a nifty little tool for capturing video on your PC. It is hosted at SourceForge.net, is open source, and free for the downloading. This tool allows capturing the full screen, a region, or a fixed region (which is a region you set explicitly). CamStudio offers many features that are rare among the freeware video apps out there, including screen and video annotations, the ability to use a bunch of different compressions, record/not record audio, allows custom cursor options, and even ships with a AVI to flash converter for your video pleasure. There are several decent screen recorders out there, but none I have seen that offer superior quality for free, that even runs quite well on older hardware. CamStudio is lightweight, quick and dirty, yet has many robust features that will greatly enhance the quality of your video arsenal. If you want to see a good example of what you can do with CamStudio, I used it to make the videos on the Word 2007 Video Review post this morning.

Flickr & WEBIMAGER: Easy screenshot-to-Flickr uploading

Flickr & WEBIMAGERHere's a cool tool with possibly the most awkward name ever: Flickr & WEBIMAGER. Yes, that's its name. It's a Windows app whose sole purpose is to take screen captures and upload them directly to Flickr. Simply use the built-in tools to capture the whole screen or a particular area, then click on the Upload button to give it a title and send it off to Flickr. It has a few other features like resizing, saving to disk, and some effects, and it'll also manage multiple Flickr accounts.
