We are happy that we successfully completed running three different giveaways of popular softwares. Starting from July 7, 2010, we were running the Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5 giveaway, in which we were giving away 5 licenses each worth $40 and valid for 1 year. Then, starting from July 11, 2010, we were running the Mediaraptor Platinum 4 giveaway. In this giveaway, we were giving away 10 free licenses of Mediaraptor Platinum 4, each license worth $40. The next giveaway was of CodySafe Sigma, which started from July 14, 2010 and we were giving away 15 licenses of CodySafe Sigma, each worth $9.90.

To take part in those giveaways, all you had to do was subscribe to our site updates and comment in the respective giveaway pages. The last date for participating in the giveaways was July 20, 2010 (12:00 pm, GMT -7), which is over now. Today, we will announce the winners of these three giveaways.

I like portable applications very much, after all, why I will not? See, You can easily carry them with you in a USB flash device or a portable HDD, they don't bother you much with settings since, if you configure it once and take it to whichever machine you use, the settings remains persistent. But, there is one disadvantage about using these portable apps. You have to search for the executable which you want to run, which is sometimes time-consuming, and, if you carry hundreds of portables apps with you, like I do, you can easily understand this.

For eliminating this disadvantage, many developers came up with portable application launchers that works and looks like Windows Start Menu. CodySafe Sigma is one such application launcher menu for the portable apps installed on your USB flash drive. It offers many features normally not found in any other portable apps launchers. The icing on the cake? The developer has generously offered a discount coupon code to My Technology Guide readers as well as 15 free licenses for CodySafe Sigma, you can find the details about this giveaway at the end of this article.

Mediaraptor is a superb application that can find millions of music videos and songs from social media websites for you. It can then record and convert the music video, or simply find the MP3 format of the song, depending on its search results. It can then convert them, according to your choice, in a more portable formats or in standard WMV and MP3 format. Unlike Tunebite and Radiotracker, the two other products from Audials, Mediaraptor is pretty much very useful out of the box. Mediaraptor can save video tracks from several social media sources, including MySpace, Esnips.com, YouTube, Hulu, and others.

On starting Mediaraptor, you will find the user interface quite similar as seen in Tunebite, Radiotracker, and the ultimate of them all, AudialsOne, divided into two parts.
