As with any password-finding tool, this can be put to use both for the powers of good or evil, but we trust you'll stick to good—say when you're doing tech support on your parents' laptop and they can't remember what their Wi-Fi password is. WirelessKeyView is freeware, Windows only. Got more password cracking needs done? Crack your Windows password with Ophcrack, roll up your sleeves on your network passwords with Cain and Abel, and read more »

Former tech support guy Brett Kelly says there are a few things you can do to get the computer help you need most efficiently over the phone. Before you call, try the obvious fixes: Reboot, consult the manual, Google, or help pages, and know how to reproduce the problem consistently. (You should know how to describe the problem thoroughly as well.) On the phone, be patient, do what your support person asks you to do, and don't lie about how you got where you are. Along these same lines, when you post a question in an online forum or send an email to someone for help, be sure to master the art of asking.11 Tips for Better read more »

If you've got more than three computers you want to watch streaming video on with video rental service Netflix's "Watch Now" service, or you've just finished a re-format, you normally need to make a call to Netflix tech support to obtain a new key. The Tech-Recipes site offers a relatively simple work-around by exporting a registry key and importing it to whatever system you want to watch from. Your Movie Viewer key is located inside your registry here:HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareNetflixMovie ViewerClick on that Movie Viewer folder, head to the registry editor's File->Export dialog, and save it somewhere accessible.

Given the rate that Apple trashes Microsoft products, it's pretty interesting that the most significant updates to the iPhone 3G and Mac OS involve adding Microsoft Exchange support. Tech site MacUser reports that the next version of OS X—10.6, "Snow Leopard"—is more of a performance upgrade than feature-packed release, but it will include Exchange server support out of the box for the corporate types who get their email in Outlook. Does this mean your Windows-only corporate office will open its doors to Macs? Tell us what you think after the jump.
