Quite a few backup (Online and offline) software developers have been contacting us for a giveaway ever since we wrapped up the Mega Christmas giveaway last year. But we kept deferring them since quite a lot of tech blogs had these handy backup giveaways in the last couple of months. But when Adrian from 4Free contacted me for a shared giveaway for Backup4all Professional, I had little qualms in accepting the offer for couple of reasons - one, it has to be a quality software when coming from 4Free community and two, more freebies for TechPP readers! backup4all-giveaway Backup4all Professional ( $49,95) is a backup program for Windows that protects your data from partial or total loss.

Adobe Creative Suite 5 was announced just a few days back with some amazing features and is scheduled to start shipping in a month from now. Shockingly enough, the pirates have managed to get their hands on this latest software suite and have even managed to crack it. It was always known that the software will get cracked soon after it is released, but this time around it gets cracked a month before the release.

The first-ever pirated release of Adobe CS5 is now live on usenet sites with release name "Adobe.CS5.Master.Suite-Raz0rW1nD" and we are sure to see them spread to popular file-sharing methods like torrents, Rapidshare, Hotfile and Megaupload.

  • Adobe CS5 MasterSuite DVD1 - 3.98 Gb

It's been more than an year since iPhone 4G rumors and leaked pictures started invading the blogosphere. Some of them even claimed to be genuine iPhone 4G pics. Now that the launch of a new iPhone (to be named iPhone HD?) in June is almost certain, more leaked pictures are making their way on the web and the latest ones come via Engadget.

According to Engadget, the source that provided them with the photos claims to have found the device on the floor of a bar in San Jose in an iPhone 3G case. While the device is apparently not booting up as of right now, it was running a “decidedly new” OS when originally found. Having burnt our hands predicting the genuineness of previous leaks, we will leave that for you to decide this time around. This can be a prototype or completely fake or may be a genuine production model of the next iPhone. But the leaked specifications reported that this iPhone is carrying 80GB of storage space and a front facing camera (not visible in pics), which makes us a bit patchy about its authenticity.

The unprecedented success of the tv show Glee has made Fox interactive partner with Smule to bring the Glee experience to iPhones and iPads. I already see the Gleeks rejoicing! The Glee app [iTunes link] is priced at $2.99 and with it, you can access few songs that have been featured on Glee, like “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse, and then sing along with the lyrics. You can choose to add pitch control or add pitch and auto-harmonizing, or just leave your voice as is. glee-ipad-app Then you can sing along with the Glee voices. Your performance is recorded and you can then choose to share the tune with your Facebook friends or with other people in the Smuleverse. You can also record and share your own a cappella tracks. For those of you who don’t watch the show, Glee uses the story of a high school glee club as the format for a modern-day musical filled with lots of recognizable pop songs, so making a musical iPhone app for the show makes a lot of sense.

You can Watch Glee episodes online.
