dvd43.pngWindows only: Freeware application DVD43 decrypts DVDs and CDs, removing most copy protections schemes so you can interact with the media using whatever ripping or copying application you please (similar to the shareware alternative AnyDVD). DVD43 runs in your system tray, detects when you’ve inserted a new DVD, and automatically removes the encryption (the smiley face turns green when it succeeds). I’ve always had a lot of luck using DVD Shrink to rip and copy DVDs, but if you’ve ever run into problems working with encrypted DVDs on your PC, DVD43 is worth a try. DVD43 is freeware, Windows only.

Ready to be surprised? Read the real insider secrets. These really shouldn’t be secrets because every air travel shopper show know them — I know shopping for airfare can be maddening — I was just back from a travel CEO conference and studies show that “you” the consumer shop 5-6 websites before you buy — let me take some of the mystery out of making the best air travel buying decision …

Oh, they’ll include a “good” tip now and then, but for the most part, these lists are riddled with errors. Where can you find the real story? From FareCompare.com, of course — without further ado here are our top ten tips (mostly U.S. domestic focused — those traveling internationally should also check out our list of international travel tips):
