Fiat Palio

Getting old now, but still a fine car. Go on, give it a chance.

Unfairly discriminated against, the Palio’s one of the best hatches around. Yes, it has a reputation for thirst, but it’s good to drive, comfortable and solid, comfortable and solid. Under the bonnet you have the option to choose three engines. The 1.2 petrol and 1.9 diesel are sluggish but have acceptable fuel economy, the 1.6 is a bomb, but thirsty.
On the road, the Palio displays excellent balance between ride and handling. Steering is feelsome as well. The bad bit is the wide turning circle. Decent amounts of space inside but not class-leading. Seats are awkwardly shaped though and cumbersome to adjust. It can be an irritant over long journeys.
The best part is its tank-like solidity. Be assured the Palio will go on with minimum rattles. Cabin materials are fairly durable as well, however, they tend to look cheap and shiny. Average equipment levels here. No fancy geegaws, but a nice line of sporty touches.

Adobe PhotoShoP cS3

The only major change to our Photoshop test is the jump from CS2 to CS3. For this benchmark, we take a RAW file (shot with a 12MP Canon EOS 5D) and apply a ton of filters to it with multiple reverts along the way. Our Photoshop script tends to be CPU intensive, but disk I/O and the amount of system. RAM also influences the result. Multicore support in Photoshop is better than in previous versions, but for the most part, this benchmark prefers clock speed over the number of cores.

No Big changes on IE 8

Just in case you were holding your breath for some big changes in the graphical user interface of Internet Explorer 8, it is right about time to exhale. Already behind Mozilla's Firefox 3.0 in terms of the development process, Microsoft plans nothing spectacular for the IE8 GUI. The first taste of Internet Explorer 8, despite bringing to the table redesigned visual details, features only anodyne changes, and no accurate clue as to where Microsoft is moving with the final visual style of the browser. In comparison, Mozilla has already implemented the redesign of the Firefox 3.0 graphical user interface as of Beta 4.
The past week, at MIX08, on the very first day of Microsoft's web-centric conference, the company available for download, immediately after the opening keynote address, the first beta of the next iteration of the Internet Explorer browser. The Redmond Company placed a strong emphasis on the fact that IE8 Beta 1 was Beta aimed almost exclusively at developers, and that end users would be getting only a preview of what the final product would have to offer.
IE8 Beta 1 "is primarily focused at web developers and designers, and it is the first beta, so as you can imagine, there's a lot that we're going to have done on this. A lot of the end user, or consumer features really are not surfaced in this build necessarily, because it is really targeted toward the developers and designers," stated Matthew Lapsen, IE Product Manager for Channel 10, and you can see this via the first video embedded at the bottom of this article.
In the screenshots integrated with this article you will be able to do an easy comparison of Firefox 2.0 vs. Firefox 3.0 Beta 4, as well as Internet Explorer 7 vs. Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1. Now, in all fairness, Mozilla is at Beta 4, and Beta 1 of Firefox 3.0 did not look and feel very different than version 2.0. But at the same time, Lapsen informed that Microsoft will not go aver the top with the redesign of IE8's user interface. Now, according to Dean Hachamovitch General Manager Internet Explorer, IE8 Beta 2 will have much more to offer for the consumers, and in this context it also could offer a more complete preview of what the final UI IE8 will end up with. But whatever it will be, Microsoft means not to shock IE users.

"But the key is also, we're not saying that there's going to be huge, landmark changes in the UI either, obviously we want to have continuity with new functionality as well. So we don't want to shock out users with a whole bunch of changes," Lapsen added.

Vista to become more robust!

The saga of the general availability of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM nears its end. Microsoft will drop Vista SP1 on March 18, 2008. Having been released to manufacturing on February 4, 2008, along with Windows Server 2008, Vista SP1 did not ship immediately to end users as expected. Instead, Microsoft postponed the full release of the first service pack for its latest Windows client until mid-March. In this context, the wait for Vista SP1 RTM is nearly over.
At the same time, Microsoft did offer the final bits of the service pack as early as the RTM week. The first to get their hands on Vista SP1 RTM were the 15,000 testers that contributed to the beta testing process. Microsoft also started the production of Vista SP1 DVDs, and served the bits to OEMs. MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers are among the select few that were permitted access not only to the standalone Vista SP1 package, but also to the slipstream version of the service pack, the ISO DVD with Vista and SP1 integrated.
Without an actual choice of their own, end users found themselves last in line, shielded by Microsoft from potential hardware driver integration problems. But the consumer release of Vista SP1 gold is just around the corner. Amazon.com is already accepting pre-orders for Vista SP1 and offers this snippet of information: "availability: this item will be released on March 19, 2008. Pre-order now! Ships from and sold by Amazon.com Gift-Wrap available."
Amazon.com also features the new boxes for Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 for just $299.99, Home Premium SP1 for $215.99, and Home Premium Upgrade SP1 for $94.99. As you can see, the price cut, at least for Vista Ultimate SP1 full-retail edition, is quite consistent, no less than $100. But Amazon.com also delivers one final bit of information, the confirmation that Vista SP1 will be released on March 18, 2008.
"Pre-order this version to get SP1 included in the box. Or buy Windows Vista Ultimate now, then update to SP1 online--free of charge--when the new versions are released on March 18, 2008," reads a message on the website.

Medal of Honor: Airborne

It’s raining soldiers

I signed on with the 82nd Airborne because it promised that its new approach to fighting the war would be the best way to serve my country in this terrible crisis. It’s been a tough three years over here in Europe, but the Airborne has proved that it can take the good fight for freedom to new heights. Over the last six operations in my tour, I’ve really done my part to stop Jerry! Before I jumped out of a C-47 for the first time over Italy, I had some serious doubts about being a paratrooper. I had heard the horror stories from the battlefield— this seemingly never-ending war has worn down many good soldiers who are now just sick of the constant stress of battle. Thankfully, from the moment I jumped out of that plane, I was engaged in one of the most intense adventures of my life. Dropping onto a rooftop in the village of Adanti, I was overzealous and botched my first landing. Luckily, none of the Italian Blackshirts saw me, and I quickly took out several enemy defensive positions. My six missions were challenging, but they flew by. Of course, I can always practice airdrops with other members of the Airborne in simulated war games, but the 12-person participant limit is a little disappointing. I know this is a terrible thing to say, but sometimes, I wish the war wasn’t over. Being a part of the Airborne has brought an exciting new dimension to combat, making me often wish I was back on the front lines.


For: Parachuting into battles, grants more freedom and adds verticality to combat.
Against: The six missions are over too quickly, and the AI is inconsistent.

Crysis

Combat is key in this absolutely gorgeous tactical shooter!

Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way up front. On a properly configured Vista machine with DirectX 10 hardware, Crysis is the best-looking game we’ve ever played. Its jungle environments are lush and realistic, with plenty of wide-open areas and just a handful of loading screens in the entire game. This incredible level of graphical detail is what PC gaming is all about. Screenshots don’t do this game justice. Seeing Crysis in action will take your breath away. The perfectly rendered jungle scenes, gorgeous beaches, and water that looks better than the real thing set a new high mark for PC graphics and far surpass what we expected from a first-gen DirectX 10 title. Even more surprising, when we tested the game on DirectX 9 hardware, it still looked stunning—although we missed the fancy depth-of-field effect that is used fairly liberally on DX10 systems.

As for the game, it’s carved straight from the generic first- person shooter playbook. There are bad guys (North Koreans this go around), who are doing something they shouldn’t unearthing an alien artifact), and a hero (you) with powers (via a super suit that lets you jump higher, run faster, and be invisible) that make you uniquely capable of accomplishing a challenging goal (saving the world). It’s all very predictable. The game mechanics aren’t particularly innovative either—we’ve done all this before. That’s not to say Crysis isn’t a fun, wellpolished game—it definitely is. It’s just not revolutionary from a gameplay perspective. The game’s by-the-book weapons include pistols, a shotgun, a rifle or two, and a submachine gun, which you customize with different add-ons: scopes, silencers, grenade launchers, and a few others. While this level of customization could have added some needed depth, you generally end up choosing between the silencer and grenade launcher, depending on the number of baddies you want to take out. Because you’ll pick up most of the weapons and add-ons within the first hour or two of the game, and you gain absolutely no new suit capabilities beyond those you start with (armor, superspeed, cloaking, and superstrength), character development feels extremely weak. Where Crysis really excels is in actual combat, especially at the higher difficulty settings. While the AI seems mildly stunted at the default difficulty, at more challenging settings it’s more realistic without seeming
prescient. The brilliant AI, combined with the open maps, which let you scout an encounter unseen and then approach from the best possible side to crush the enemy, is the game’s saving grace.

For: Nano Suit - stunning graphics and amazing combat. I love skulking around the jungle.
Against: Zoot Suit - Aside from obvious graphical improvements, Crysis lacks real innovation.

Mainconcept Reference

Also new to our benchmark suite is MainConcept’s Reference. You might not be familiar with the MainConcept name, but you probably use one of its products. Corel, Adobe, and AverMedia all use MainConcept’s codecs. We use MainConcept’s freely available Reference demo to transcode the 1080p MPEG-2 file created in our ProShow Producer benchmark
to the AVC/H.264 codec at 1920x1080 resolution. The Reference demo uses the same codec as the fully licensed version but includes a watermark in a corner. The benchmark gets a healthy bump from quad cores and scales well with clock speed. Interestingly, this is one of the few benchmarks that run significantly faster.

The basics of CPU overclocking

Pushing your processor to new heights can be extremely rewarding—if all goes right. Take the time to understand the concepts of overclocking and the factors that can affect success.


DETERMINING A CPU’S SPEED

There’s simple math that determines the clock speed of any CPU. Each CPU has a fi xed internal number called the clock multiplier. That number multiplied by the reference clock of the front-side bus determines the stated clock speed of the processor. For example, an Intel 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad Q6700 has a clock multiplier of 10. The stock system bus speed for this processor is 1,066MHz. But wait, 1,066MHz multiplied by 10 equals 10GHz. What gives? Intel’s front-side bus is quad-pumped, so its actual reference clock is 266MHz (1,066MHz divided by four). That makes the clock speed of a Core 2 Quad Q6700 10 times 266MHz for 2,660MHz, or 2.66GHz. This same math applies to AMD’s Athlon 64 CPUs, although, technically, they have no front-side bus; instead, a HyperTransport link connects the CPU to the chipset. A 2.6GHz Athlon 64 X2 5000+, for example, operates on a 13x multiplier using a 200MHz link—the actual HyperTransport link connection runs at 1GHz, as it operates on a 5x multiplier. You can overclock both Intel and AMD CPUs by increasing the multiplier setting, increasing the “front-side bus,” or both. By using a combination of a multiplier and FSB overclock, you may achieve higher speeds with more stability. Depending on your situation, a combination of both may give you the best overclock, as your motherboard may simply not be up to running at excessively high speeds.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

That tremor you feel is the revival of a franchise

When we think of Quake games, we think of fast-paced deathmatches in their purest no-nonsense form. In Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the latest iteration of the shooter franchise, that visceral run-and-gun experience still makes up the foundation of gameplay, but the integration of deep teamplay tactics and mission objectives makes this a whole new multiplayer animal. The meld of cooperative squadplay and frenzied firefighting makes for compelling matches, but both deathmatch and tactical purists may find themselves in slightly unfamiliar territory. We fought for possession of Earth across 12 battlegrounds as both GDF and Strogg forces, each round structured in an assault and defend format. Up to 32 players fill the battlefield, contributing to the fight in one of five roles: Nothing special here—you choose between the typical assault, medic, engineer, field ops, and covert ops classes. What’s unique is the asymmetry that Quake Wars applies to the two sides. While the GDF rely on conventional bullets and ammo, the Strogg use an energy source called Stroyent that doubles as ammo and health. Strogg can also use the bodies of dead GDF soldiers as remote spawn points. With the addition of other weapon and special-ability differences, we had to adapt our tactics to accommodate the advantages of each side. Helpful tooltips give each player sub-missions and goals unique to their classes, leading Aggressors to plant explosive charges at vault doors and Infiltrators to hack computer systems. Quake Wars’s map objectives are some of the most diverse we’ve seen in a multiplayer game. On the Slipgate map, the GDF team has to commandeer a forward control point, hack the eponymous gateway, escort a Mobile Command Post through the wormhole, and finally demolish a Strogg Nexus tower. Awesome objectives aside, we weren’t impressed with the graphics of the “Megatextured” game, which suffered from overused browns and last-gen lighting. But once we got past the superficial deficiencies, we were in for a fresh multiplayer experience worthy of the Quake name.

For: Outstanding Gameplay, Strong competitive multiplayer.
Against: Some key binding issues, no voice chat.

Descry the new dimension

From my diminutive experience of computing world, I heard many of them construing about their visual impact after being hooked to long hours of computing. This, from now, need not be considered as a problem, as I have figured out one good solution. It’s one Great Discovery: Zenni Optical.
Of course, there are many who provide you some good quality opticals, but this might be the cheapest one you might get. It's really a bang for the buck! It’s the Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical. They provide some decent eyeglasses with some really cool designs that are definitely a personal fashion and style statement. The basic model is the simple 'n sweet Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses.

A sample of how the eyeglasses may look:





For: Cool designs, Low price.
Against: None.

Neat and Tidy

Vopt 8.13

Creating and deleting of data on a hard disk is a constant process practiced by most of us. This leads to fragmentation of data and ultimately the performance of the PC starts to deteriorate. The solution to this issue is to use the old and clumsy Windows defragmentation tool which hardly is able to deliver a good result. So you tend to turn to a third party solution. Hence I bring you one such application which is quite an effective defragmentation tool. Vopt 8.13 is a disk utility that performs defragmentation of your hard disk with utmost perfection. It features both scheduled as well as batch defragmentation along with features like deleting of junk files, clearing Internet cache, cookies, temporary files etc.

The installation of the application is a cakewalk, once you are done with it you are greeted by a window displaying the fragmented data of the C drive. There is a status option where you can get a list of files that are fragmented; also you can view the temporary files and so on. The performance of Vopt was quite good and with its features it offers it is a cool tool to own, but it could have faired better with a lesser price tag.

For: Excellent feature.
Against: A bit too costly.

Painting Redefined

Corel Painter X

Our imagination is not limited by any protocol or law of nature; it all begins with visualizing ideas, then manifesting them through images; breathing life into your ideas, with the human imagination knowing no bounds, you require an application of similar caliber to do justice to your design brainwaves. In this digital age you do not require a paper and pen to sketch your ideas-- a combination of a PC and the right application can work miracles. One such application is Corel Painter X that is capable of much more than just painting; it's a bridge between your imagination and perceiving it in reality. It is also a multi-platform application available for PC as well as Mac users.
The version 10 or X (as Corel prefers to name it) is the latest avatar of Corel Painter. It is one-of-a-kind application that provides stationery to create masterpieces. This version like its predecessors (IX.5) uses an array of virtual brushes for drawing and painting along with the familiar color swatches. Another new feature is the Divine Proportion -- at first it sounds rather abstract, but it does lend an ergonomic sense of balance to paintings. Corel Painter X definitely lives up to its name and whether you're a graphics artist or not, it will take your breath away.

For: Divine proportion tool is splendid.
Against: None.

Launcher

Launchy 1.2.5

There are very few applications that are elegant to look at as well as proficient to work with, at the same time. Launchy is one of them. Launchy as the name suggests basically launches just about anything.
It is like using Windows Vista’s start menu with a Mac-like interface of its own. The application is great for launching not only programs but bookmarks too. As soon as you start to type, programs/bookmarks start to type; programs/bookmarks start to show up n the list instantly.
As an added bonus, you can even use Launchy as a calculator. Launchy is extremely feature-rich. It lets you change your hot keys, set directories that you can launch stuff from and you can even use it for music and video. If an application doesn’t show up, simply hit the ‘Rebuild Index’ button.
Being Open source, you can apply a skin on it by downloading additional ones at www.launchyskins.com and also install plugins that add additional functionality.
With Launchy installed on your system, you can definitely say good bye to the tedious start menu.

For: Ease of use, launches anything.
Against: No way to remove IE favorites.

Right Hand

MMM

Probably inspired by C&C Music Factory’s song – “Things that may make you go hmm”, MMM lets you choose which program appears in your Windows right-click menu. With a growing list of application that one uses, almost every application adds on to the context menu. This results in a long list that pops-up which takes longer to load which has a lot of stuff you don’t even need.
The freeware application lets you configure any right-click menu no matter which file you right-click on. This is great as many files have specific tasks added there for a particular file type. How it does this is confusing at first. You need to right-click a file and then immediately launch MMM. This will show you a list of commands that can be run, which you can drag under ‘Hidden items’ or ‘Rarely used’. The latter option will give you an additional option by the same name in right-click menu.
The program runs in the memory but barely takes any resources. It needs just about 508 kb. The paid counterpart allows more functionality and also shows a colored bar in the right-click menu.

For: Customize your right-click context menu, easy to use.
Against: Displays a colored bar in the context menu.

Caution Ware

System Safety Monitor 2.0.8.583

System Safety Monitor (SSM) is ‘Host based Intrusion Prevention System,’ software. This kind of software protects a system against malware and hacker attacks. SSM puts a lot of onus on user decision and this is where the trouble begins. SSM basically asks you about every little program that is trying to launch either by you or automated by the system. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but considering that every .EXE file has several dependencies such as DLLs and other supporting files, SSM asks you about every one of these files. So that means every new program launched has minimum 3 clicks more to it. This gets tiring after a while which makes the user instantly stop caring about program alerts and blindly clicking to start a program.
SSM of course is not at fault here, but it does nothing to ease the pain either. It takes no onus to give default application rules. SSM also does not help the user in anyway by advising which application should or should not be allowed which adds to the user’s woes.

For: Keeps your system extremely secure, easy to use.
Against: Extremely annoying due to constant pop-ups.

Virtual Broom

Revo Uninstaller 1.40

Revo Uninstaller provides an alternative to the windows Add/Remove Programs dialog box, with additional web searching, registry key detection and other related commands.
The program includes a convenient startup manager to inspect and disable programs, a track cleaner to remove history, cookies etc from the web browser and other application MRU lists, a secure deletion tool, and an option to find and remove files, folders and registry keys that were left behind during uninstallation.
The program offers a unique ‘Hunter Mode’ which allows uninstalling a program simply by dragging the target over the program’s icon or desktop shortcut.
The interface is nice and simple, though some of the tools can easily be missed due to quirks in the interface. It isn’t as feature rich as CCleaner, but does its job well. It also includes a lot of shortcuts to standard Windows tools that are needed for additional diagnostics, such as the services.msc, network information, and disk defragmenter utilities. It has no single-click option to perform multiple tasks.

For: Clear explanations, nice search option in the uninstaller interface.
Against: No one-click solution, sliding animations can cause one to miss out on some of its tools.

Directory Opus 9.1

Directory Opus is a powerful, feature-rich Explorer alternative. The program is packed with amazing little features such as the file copy-paste feature that allows pausing or skipping individual files when copying and the detailed readout of average and peak speeds during the operation. Screenshots captured with the [Print Screen] key can be pasted directly in a folder as .BMP files.
Version 9 of directory Opus now supports Windows Vista with much better UAC support warning windows. The interface isn’t as clean as we would have preferred; it still looks pretty much like an FTP program, but thankfully there are many customizable options.
While the basic features of Directory Opus can be relatively quickly, it is quite another story to master the complete feature set. To give you an idea of how extensive the program is, the makers of this software are offering a 60 day trial period. Pick this up if you are adventurous enough to try this exploring solution – it’s made by geeks for geeks!

For: The Rolls Royce of explorer
Against: Not easy for newbies, expensive.

Super-Charged bird

Thunderbird 2

Mozilla's new baby, Thunderbird v2.0 takes its e-mail client one step further. With a clutter-free and clean interface, Thunderbird 2 is a worthy successor. In looks department, it's better than ever with a whole new bunch of redesigned icons. As in the earlier version, Thunderbird 2.0 allows users to customize the look and feel of the interface using themes.
With all terrific features, it's quite easy to overlook some of the (very minor) cons in v2.0. Thunderbird v2.0 still doesn't support multiple signatures, but this is something that can be easily rectified with an extension.
The bottom line is, the second version of Thunderbird is definitely recommended for its user friendliness and features and to top it all, it's free! Needless to say, it's without doubt, recommended.

For: Pleasant, clutter-free interface.
Against: RSS subscriptions aren't easy for novices, still doesn't support multiple signatures.

360 Degrees

Panorama Backpacker a0.85

Panorama Backpacker is a great application for those who’d like to visit breathtaking places around the world with just a mouse click. This sounds more like a desktop wallpaper program, but it isn’t; you can actually view entire landscapes as if you were there.
Using Apple’s QuickTime virtual Reality Technology (QTVR); you can look anywhere you like when viewing places of astounding natural beauty. To top it all off, you can even listen to ambient sounds that come along with the panoramic view.
The program offers world map search, panorama list search, browsing of more than 240 panoramas with widescreen view, and content auto-update. The panoramic views have helpful bits of information about the country, city, and story and also the year it was shot in.
The software weighs less than 6 MB but requires QuickTime QTVR and also Java VM to be installed for it to work, which can easily add up to 50 MB more to download from their respective sites. Also, the different views need to be downloaded each time you try to access them, which can take a considerable amount of time. You need a broadband connection for this.

For: Polished look, beautiful views.
Against: No way to download the panoramas separately.

Come, Play

K-Lite Mega 3.5.3

There isn’t a commonly found audio or video file that you won’t be able to play after installing K-Lite Mega. The best part is that unlike VideoLan, the K-Lite codec Pack lets you play your files right off any player. It does this because it is essentially a pack of several codecs which helps any multimedia player play any file.
A codec allows decompressing and/or compressing data, so when you try to play a Divx movie the appropriate codec decompresses it for you to view. The codecs in this all-rounder pack include DivX, Xvid, x264, MPEG ½, MP3, Monkey Audio, OGG, Real audio/video, Quicktime, On2 V6/V7 and many others. The installer lets you choose which ones to install, or you can use the recommended default profile which installs all of them.
The pack also has its own feature-rich Media Player Classic. For the technically inclined, K-Lite codec Pack also provides great utilities such as G-spot codec information tool, bitrate calculators and advanced configuration options for each codec available. Remember to uninstall all other codec packs before you install this one to avoid conflicts.

For: Enables to play all multimedia files.
Against: None.

‘C’ Safe

Returnil

Returnil, as the name suggests, doesn’t let anything affect the main drive where Windows is installed, namely, c:\. It archives this through virtualization technology, creating an abstract layer over the main drive. This means that any changes made will automatically be saved for only the current virtual session, and will be automatically erased upon reboot.
This technique can easily thwart viruses and malicious spyware programs as any changes made to the system are simply reset when you restart the system. This is also perfect if you want to test software. However, you need to be extra cautious as to where you save data. If you save personal files on the C drive after the protection is activated, say goodbye to it the next time you reboot. The software is great as an added layer of protection, but is easy to forget about (in spite of a bar runs constantly at the top of your screen) in daily use. The program uses hardly 25 MB for the virtualization process which is incredible, and is simple enough for even inexperienced users.

For: Resets any changes made to the system, so no spyware, viruses etc.
Against: Needs to restart for protection.

Peek-A-Boo

Process Explorer 11.04

You can peek under the hood of windows and know what’s running with Windows Task Manager but process explorer shows you much more! This recently updated application has a knack of helping you identify every little process/application/dll/handle that is running under windows.
Process Explorer is an application made for advanced users. Unlike Windows Task Manager, Process Explorer’s display consists of two panes. The right pane shows a list of the currently active processes and the left pane displays the description of the file, CPU resources and memory used, etc. Hovering over a process name such as explorer.exe pops up the path where the executable file is located. This is excellent for identifying where spyware apps for identifying where spyware apps may be hidden.
Double-clicking a process name brings up extremely detailed information including security information such as the names of user accounts, performance information, the strings and environment of the application, the threads utilized etc.

For: Very detailed view of system processes, no installation required.
Against: Can get overwhelming for newbies, features not clearly explained.

Spic n Span

CCleaner v2.03

CCleaner v2.03 is an extremely simple tool that cleans out every nook and cranny that windows has, be it the browser cache, temporary files that installations leave behind, old prefetch data that windows forgets to clean or the windows registry.

This wonderful free tool even proactively informs you that some of your settings may change if you select the advanced options that it offers. Under ‘Tools’, you’ll find Uninstall and Startup features that remove the disappear from your Add/Remove Program list.
This utility even offers secure deletion for security-conscious users, wherein it removes files using multiple passes and not just one single pass.
For: Intuitive interface, very easy to use, single-click cleanup, fast, informative.
Against: None.

Golden Words

WordWeb 5.01

With so much work and entertainment happening on the computer, it has become essential to have a digital dictionary to look up words. WordWeb is a dictionary and thesaurus that makes looking up words a pleasure.
WordWeb is easy to install and run. During installation you will be given the option to have it permanently in your system tray. To look up a word, you can also simply select it and invoke the default hot key Ctrl+Alt+W (which is changeable) to bring up the WordWeb window.

For: Quick and efficient, Offline.
Against: Only windows compatible.

Anti-Thesis

No-IP 2.2.1

Contrary to the name, No-IP doesn’t hide or encrypt your IP address but rather gives you a way to see your external dynamic IP address. Your IP address is a string of numbers that identifies your PC on the internet. This address is not always easily identifiable; therefore No-IP makes your job simpler.
What’s the use of it really, one might ask? Well, with your external IP displayed, you can quickly host a web server or a multiplayer game server and not break your head over it. And since the program works by syncing with No-IP.com’s free DNS service, you don’t need to keep track of your address even if it keeps changing. You get a free server address to connect to.
Therefore when hosting a website or running a game, simply choose a name from the drop down-list at No-IP.com and prefix a username to it. In order to use the service you have to register for a free account and add host names at the No-IP.com website. This is your ticket to getting the software.
Once you have everything set up, don’t forget to checkmark your server name in the client; a yellow smiley will assure that everything’s ok.

For: Relatively easy to set up for novices.
Against: Can get confusing at times.

Free View

PDF-XChange Viewer 1.0

Since its introduction, the PDF has been the most preferred file format for storing documents electronically. The major benefit of using PDFs is that you can combine and store files of various formats into a single file and enable easier sharing of documents. There are numerous PDF readers out there including one from the creators of the PDF format themselves -- Adobe. But there are alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Reader. One of them is PDF-XChange Viewer that you can use to not only view PDFs but also annotate them.

PDF-XChange viewer offers more features compared to other PDF readers, such as Foxit. The Typewriter Tool along with the geometric tiil is quite useful when you need to add your comments to the PDF file. While the former feature can add the text, the latter can highlight portions of the document as per requirements. The interface of PDF-XChange viewer is quite appealing when compared to its rivals and that gives us one more reason to prefer it over other. You will find it easy to work with PDF-XChange viewer beacuse the interface is intuitive as well.

For: Tabbed windows for viewing multiple documents.
Against: None.

Long Drive

DriverMax 3

There is one thing more annoying than to re-install windows from scratch after a virus attack or hardware failure: finding drivers that came along with the hardware!
DriverMax backs up all the drivers on your system and stores them in one convenient location. In case you need to reinstall your driver(s), you can do so from the backup straight away without needing any driver CDs. This utility allows you to choose to back up all or only a few selected drivers and optionally compress them into a zip file to save space.
The interface is extremely slick and the backup process is quick. The free application requires your e-mail address to start, or you can simply use the trail version till you get a key. Once the app is open, you can update both the necessary drivers present (which aren’t working as of now) and the software itself.
The program can also identify unknown hardware devices and usher you in the right direction. Restoring backed up drivers is as easy and pain-free as it can be. This application will easily appeal to everyone; newbies as well as advanced users.

For: Slick interface, zip-compression.
Against: Automatic driver download not supported yet, listing of detected drivers in text view only.

Unchallenged Encryption

Challenger 2.3.9

Data security has always been a prime concern for many PC users, and these days when personal details are stored electronically, data security becomes a necessity. One of the popular ways to protect your data is encryption. If you can afford the expensive vista Ultimate, you can feel safe because it already has an integrated encryption routine. All those who are not so lucky must try using the freeware challenger.

Challenger 2.3.9 is an encryption utility that encrypts your data using a two-key-process. This means that each file has two layers of protection and that makes Challenger 2.3.9 better than its competitor PGP. Besides a user password, the tool also encrypts the data with a random number. So, to encrypt and decrypt, one always need two pieces of information. The big advantage is that if an attacker has installed a key logger on your system and reads your password using it, you need not worry; your files will still be safe. The hacker still does not have the random number to decrypt the data. Take a backup of the Challenger-Directory so that you do not lose both keys.

For: Excellent encryption functionality.
Against: Unattractive interface.

Seek'em All

ICQ 6

Instant messengers have been a craze especially among teenagers since their introduction because they are an exciting medium to remain in touch with friends. These days there are quite a number of instant messengers available and each of them is claiming to be better than other ones. ICQ is one of the oldest instant messaging applications and its distinct feature is the numeric user it provides for each of its users.
ICQ 6 is the latest version of this application and offers some really cool features. The developers of ICQ 6 have thoughtfully reconstructed this Instant Messenger.
But at first glance, it seems the changes were uncalled for. For instance, ICQ now offers 'Tabbed chatting'. It combines all the current discussion in a single window in which one can switch between conversations over small tabs. But can anybody pursue more than three chats simultaneously? However, the 'Quick IM' feature is quite useful. If the cursor is placed over a contact name, ICQ displays all the latest available methods of communications such as messaging, calling and transferring data. This functionality at least saves the user a couple of clicks.

For: Features such as history and Quick IM.
Against: Doesn't allow interaction with Users from other IM Networks.

Click and Manage

Zoner PhotoStudio 9

Managing multimedia files on the computer can be a real hassle, especially image files. With images hogging the majority of the space on most people's PCs, it becomes necessary to have the right tool to manage them -- Zoner PhotoStudio 9 does just that.
Zoner PhotoStudio 9 is anything but just another Photography Tool. It can not only manage images but also edit them and burn them on to CDs and DVDs. Its simple interface belies the fact that so much more lies beneath the surface, making it much more than just an image viewer. For instance; the revised batch processing, with which one can easily select the desired function and filters in a list; or the vertical panorama tool. which is ideal for pictures of high buildings. Even the Eiffel tower can be captures in a single frame! The result required only a little touch up during the test.

A smart extra, which is also mastered by the competitor ACDSee is the slide show in PDF format. It is opened in Adobe reader on any computer in the full screen mode and pepped up with a little music if desired. If you have a camera with a GPS navigator, you can click on the picture of Eiffel tower and fly to Paris through Google maps. The co-ordinates cannot be added directly from the Google map. This can be a disadvantage.

For: PhotoStudio 9 is an excellent tool for amateur photographers
Against: Competing applications offers smarter finishing touches

In-house Director

CyberLink PowerDirector 6

The advent of affordable HDV cameras has given rise to a number of prosumer centric software and hardware. Now, users can easily produce a good quality movie or a holiday video with just their computers and a handycam and share it with their friends on their iPods and PSPs or even show them across the world through websites like YouTube. Cyberlink has recently updates PowerDirector with a new version that supports H.264 encoding and direct uploading to YouTube. It also has an easy-to-use DVD menu designer, a Slide Show designer, video overlay and PIP options, and new easy-to-use tools such as Magic Style, Magic Music, Magic Clean, Magic Cut, Magic Fix and a movie making wizard called Magic Movie.

The Magic Cut automatically edits video based on criteria like dialogs, pans, zooms, movement, or duration of scenes. There is Magic Clean that corrects levels; manages white balance, color adjustment on images, and video; and applies noise reduction when used on audio. Magic Fix can clean up red eyes and stabilize video taken with jittery hands. There is also Magic Style that converts slideshows to pan/scan type stylized videos and Magic Music that provides stock music that can be fitted to the user's video.

For: Lots of features at a low price, easy to use.
Against: Very basic controls.

Quite Capable

Ability Office 4 Professional

Office suites are among the most widely used applications on desktop computers. Whether it's creating documents, spreadsheets or a presentation, office suites have always been a great boon. While MS Office is clearly the most widely used office suite in the commercial category, Open Office is the rightful winner among the freeware.

The ease of use and features offered by commercial application may not be as good as in the free ones. Hence, you are either required to buy an expensive suite or humbly settle for the freeware. But there might be a solution to this in the office category. The answer is the lesser known Ability Office 4 -- an MS office 2003 look-alike office suite that offers more features than MS Office and is cheaper. We reviewed the Professional edition, which is the complete office suite from Ability's stable.

The main applications; Write, Spreadsheet, and presentation are very similar to their MS Office 2003 counterparts; Word, Excel and PowerPoint. So don't be surprised if you have a feeling of déjà vu while using Ability Office 4. The option to save documents as PDFs, which is not available even in Office 2007, unless you download a plug-in, is available in Ability Office.

For: Cheap alternative to Office 2003
Against: None

The Key

Unlocker 1.8.5

Have you ever faced those annoying error messages that read "Cannot delete file: Access is denied" or "The file is in use by another program or user"? These errors generally occur if a file you are trying to access is currently in use by a program. The error message is to remind you to shut it down before trying to modify the file. However, sometimes in spite of closing it, Windows insist that the file is still being accesses and doesn't allow you to do anything. This little freebie software simply unlocks the file/folder access restrictions and allows you to modify it-- You can delete, rename or move it anyway you please.
Unlocker is a surprisingly easy to use application; all that one needs to do is right-click the file, select ‘unlocker’, and preventing the file from being accessed after which you need to choose the action. The program helpfully displays the reason why your life is locked. In some extreme cases, Unlocked can also remember and dutifully unlock a file or folder after a reboot.
Unlocked cannot circumvent administrator privileges (so be sure you are working in administrator mode). Visa users will need to temporarily disable UAC.

For: Extremely easy to use.
Against: Doesn’t work in all cases.

VLC VideoLAN 0.8.6d

VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows 0.8.6d

Unlike the music files, viewing a video has never been as easy as it seems. The music files somehow managed to get a standard format like mp3, but the video files has many formats like .avi, .divx, .mpeg, .mpg, .vob, .3gp, .mp4, and recently the .MKV format. You don’t need to install new software for playing each and every format.
