The Ultimate Small Business Owner’s Resource Guide Available as Free PDF [Ebooks]

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

When your brother's starting up a new business and keeps asking you for the best places to do things online like send faxes, get legal help, or find a virtual assistant, send him a copy of The Ultimate Small Business Owner's Resource Guide. The book normally costs $35 for a print version, but it's available as a free PDF download here today. The 102-page volume is a compendium of webapps, engines, indices, software, and online tools for small biz owners looking to get things done cheaply and easily. You can find most of these recommendations online with some creative Googling, but the book offers a quick look-up with a well-organized table of contents. Aside from a few odd mistakes (like calling Google Calendar "Gmail Calendar"), this book's recommendations align with many you've seen here at Lifehacker. Download The Ultimate Small Business Owner's Resource Guide PDF here.

ClickGone Turns Your Mouse into an App Assassin [Featured Windows Download]

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Windows only: Free application ClickGone (or One Click App Killer—there's some confusion over the actual name) turns your mouse cursor into a crosshair and forcibly kills the first app your pull the trigger on. Although it's fun to fire up Internet Explorer and kill it for sport, the application is actually intended to kill off frozen apps quickly and easily. Assuming you were to create a keyboard shortcut to run ClickGone, it could serve as a simple go-to for knocking out a stalled application. This single-use utility is freeware, Windows only.
