Google Chrome is out, brand new and shiny, and with its launch a new set of standards for all web browsers is implemented for both end users and developers. At this moment the Internet is flooded with details and info on Google's newest and hottest application designed to link the user to the pool of information on the web. Unlike successful browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera and even Internet Explorer, Google's approach in building Chrome differs in that the app is built from scratch without giving in to formalities (that is why, at first use, most users will waste time looking for the menu bar). The program seems as if... [read more >>] "What's the best RAW application?" This question alone is the starting point for aggressive topics on photography forums where supporters of certain software throw smut at each other over the issue. In fact, the answer is quite simple: "All and none". It all depends on what you're shooting, how much post-processing you're doing and how much time you are willing to spend waiting for the app to get the job done. This is exactly what I'll try to achieve in this review, so don't be expecting any "Oh my God, what a spectacular and outstanding software this is, I can't believe I haven't tried it earlier, I was s... [read more >>] Ad-Aware 2008 has finally arrived. It needs absolutely no introduction and the final version has been awaited for quite some time.

Suffice to include a few effects, a couple of editing options and some image enhancing settings and you have an image viewer to the taste of thousands, if not more. Well, how about a new perspective for viewing your images? How about viewing the pictures 3D?Twins Visions is almost ready to bring that new view of your images and a better organization.

It did not take too long for the successor of IE7 to make an entrance, and judging by the strain on the Microsoft servers, my guess is that the latest web browser from Microsoft was long awaited. True that this is beta issue of the application, but it made some waves today and for a while many web locations were unaccessible due to unusual traffic (at one point I even checked my Internet connection for any problem).IE8 targets web developers and designers of all skill levels making available tools tailored to help write more efficient code by integrating in the browser the necessary development environmen... [read more >>] Portability has come to play a very important role in our lives as it allows greater mobility and flexibility to the user, roaming personal files from one computer to another with the least effort. Flash drives are fast enough for us to be content and the fact that nowadays one can install certain apps on a flash drive and use them independently from the computer only adds more value to the small contraptions.Nowadays a greater step has been taken and new portability standards have been reached and solutions have been found for walking around with an operating system in the pocket. As unbelievable and far fetched as this may sound, it is ac... [read more >>] How cool is gaining full control over a remote computer? I must say that the first time I tried this a godly feeling invaded my whole being. Sure, the fact that the remote user (although he was sitting right next to me) did not know at the beginning what was happening had a large contribution to this feeling. What can I say, I couldn't have made him look so stressed out and bewildered at the mouse moving all by itself on the screen even if I paid money.It was all an innocent joke and we both had a good laugh with tampering with another friend's of ours computer in the exact same way. Nowadays there are plenty of tools for achievin... [read more >>] The way I see it, the first rule of maintaining your computer is registry optimization, as registry is the heart and soul of your Windows and if that's not healthy there is really no use to clean the computer of junk files or make whatever other optimizations. A clean registry ensures a good run of the system, fewer to none errors as well as better performance. Getting rid of all the clutter left behind by incomplete software un-install is the first thing you should do when starting a system cleaning session.And the tools to do it with are everywhere on the Internet, almost all of them bragging with extraordinary accuracy of their dete... [read more >>] Multiple desktops is no longer news, even on Windows. True that this technology is much more advanced on other operating systems, but we have to work with what we are given. The importance of multiple desktops on a single monitor is futile to be mentioned as it is well known (plus it is very cool). Besides the space you are going to come up with from practically nowhere and the fact that you can have different applications opened on each of the virtual desktops, the rest depends all on details.Here comes another one. Cube Desktop comes with a pricey tag reading 24.95 EUR (about $36) for Europe (anywhere outside Europe the price is $24.95) a...

You will have to use multiple softwares in order to record your video (either directly from the desktop screen or from a webcam) and publish them on the web. And if you want to add a little editing, titles and menus, then the number of applications involved increases exponentially.However, shelling out a great deal of money will always bring you a software that integrates all needed functions to record, edit and produce your video for different types of transporters. TechSmith comes with its latest version of Ca... [read more >>] |
