It's been a little while since we've done a hodgepodge roundup of awesome freeware and open-source software.  So brace yourself.  The following free software applications have absolutely nothing in common with each other, save for them all being free and beneficial to your geek life in some capacity.  We're looking at version-tracking applications that help keep all of the different installed software on your PC as up-to-date as it can be, as well as an easy-to-use display calibration app and a whole hodgepodge of must-have PC utilities (arranged neatly via a single installer application, to note).

But that's not all!  To check out all of the other helpful applications we've got our dirty little fingers on, you're just going to have to click through to the full article.  That's right.  In Hollywood, we would call this a "teaser."  But really, these apps are useful enough that you should have already scrolled past this introductory rambling and clicked right on the "I want more!  I want more!" link--even though it's actually called "read more."  You get the idea.

Let's go!
