Andy Walker

talks to Cliff Miller of Splashtop about the new

Splashtop Remote

, which allows you to

operate a Windows or Mac computer

using a mobile device.

While

at CES 2011

, we got a demo of how it worked and saw how you can

use a Samsung Galaxy Tab

to control a Windows computer with a touchscreen interface.

Remote desktop

lets you access your computer from anywhere. It's a popular feature in some versions of Windows. However,

new Ubuntu users

will be happy to know that Ubuntu comes with a

free remote desktop application

pre-installed. Here's how to enable it.

Ubuntu is a solid operating system and it comes with some really solid software as well. If you're concerned about missing something should switch from Windows, fear not: Ubuntu comes with all the basic tools you need to get started on the

Internet

.

Yuuguu gives you the ability to contact all your friend, share your screen, give control of your PC, and so much more. You can use it to do online conferences, audio sessions, and much more.

Yuuguu does more than simply share your screen. It also has some pretty impressive remote control features. Take control of the keyboard and mouse of a remote PC to troubleshoot a problem or demonstrate a solution. Offer control of your PC for a remote user to use your keyboard and mouse.

There are times when you have something going on with your PC and you just want someone else to see it. Maybe an error message from some program, perhaps you want to demonstrate how to use a new program or run through share a Power Point presentation. In cases like that the free sharing function of Yuuguu is just perfect.

Yuuguu is a smart, easy-to-use client that lets you share your desktop, offer control of your desktop, chat, audio conference, and more. You can configure other instant message accounts to work with Yuuguu, set your screen sharing options and more within the Yuuguu preferences.

Sometimes explanations fall flat and you really need to show, as opposed to tell, what's going on on your PC screen. Sometimes you just need to be able to see a remote PC's screen so you can give another person some pointers. Sometimes it's handy if you can take control and show them what to do. For times like these, there's Yuuguu, an excellent free screen sharing and remote control application.
