Popular cross-platform messaging and VOIP service Viber is introducing brand new desktop application along with a complete refresh of its mobile apps on 07/15/13. First up are the desktop apps, which are now available for both Windows & Mac and give users the ability to continue all of their VIber conversations and activities just as they would on the phone. The new versions seamlessly integrate with existing mobile versions of the app and provide the same super-simple setup process that uses your phone number as your ID.

On the mobile side, Viber v3.0 refreshes the interface, and enables a new set of features to be in sync with what the desktop now offers.

If you haven't yet tried Viber you can grab the app from the Play Store link above, and the desktop versions from the link below.

Re-Size Photos using Image Resizer PowerToy
Today's digital cameras take great, detailed photos but the images are often too large to easily send. If you want to email these pictures and publish them on your blogs, having smaller file sizes is preferred.
The Image Resizer PowerToy for XP has been around for several years and does a great job of resizing an image by right clicking it.
After right-clicking and choosing "Resize Pictures" you get an easy to use menu for making an image larger, smaller, or a custom size.
As an example this image came directly off a digital camera and as you can see it is half a Megabyte - having several photos this size can start to add up in a hurry. By making the image smaller we save a lot of space.
