Some users randomly store files on their computers, which may result in having multiple copies of the same files at different locations. This is especially the case when we download files such as music, videos, documents, photos etc., from the internet, not knowing if we already possess a copy. It not only fills your hard drive with duplicate content, but also hogs down overall PC performance. CloneSpy is a useful tool that can help you delete these duplicates within a few minutes, depending on how much junk you have on your hard drive. It comes with a user-friendly interface and a powerful scanning engine to locate files with not only same names, but also identical data.

So how does it work? Well, it can process files of five types:

The application offers a Pool system, you can either scan a single pool (i.e. folder) for analyzing duplicates within that pool, or compare two pools (two different folders) for finding duplicate content. The process of finding duplicates is quite simple; just select your pool and add your source directory to that pool by clicking Add Folder. Now, under Search for section, specify the search technique. From Actionsection, you may click Automatically delete (without confirmation) to unlock further options for what to do with the duplicate files, or you can leave it to default (Ask user) state. Clicking Start scanning begins the scan process.

A progress window will appear, showing the current scanning process.

In case, you have chosen the default Ask user option, under the Action heading, a small window pops up from time to time, presenting you with file information such as file path and date, and the actions you can perform on duplicate files. Here, you can Execute or Explore folder of the selected file as well as, invert your file selection. To delete the file(s), double-click the files you want to delete to mark them, and then click Delete all marked files to delete the selected files. You may click Stop scanning to pause the duplicate file scanning process.

Clicking File => Options on the menu bar opens the program’s configuration window, where you can change numerous application specific settings including Input attributes, file & folders, Names, Time & size, and Output deletion, export, logging and reporting and other features.

CloneSpy works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. We tested the program on Windows 7 64-bit edition.

Do you really need a highly sophisticated, Arduino-powered, Android tab-operated kegerator with its taps coming out of the Android mascot’s arms? Probably not. Of course you do. That’s why Paul Carff built “Besty“ the KegDroid, to fill this gaping hole in beer dispensing technology. Aside from just looking awesome, the KegDroid has some pretty useful functionality that can help prevent unauthorized imbibition of your favorite alcoholic potable.

Using a NFC ID card, users can sign in to the device, at which point it fetches their name and picture from their Google+ account. Then, using the custom app on the mounted Xoom tablet, users can select their choice of beer and the size of the pour, a 1oz. taste, an 8oz. pour, or a full-fledged 14oz glassful. After selection, all the drinker has to do is open the tap and hold the glass while the KegDroid dispenses the appropriate amount of hoppy goodness. All that’s left for the drinker to do is to pursue priority number 1: Drinking. This, my friends, is technology at its finest. Your move, Apple.
