  1. Review - VirtualCamera

    1.2.1 Beta Build 0221 (Feb 22, 2007)

    Interesting software, but I can buy a REAL camera for less than that price.

  2. Review - 7-Zip (32-bit)

    4.43 Alpha 3 (Jul 14, 2006)

    7z has a great compression, specially if you have many similar files with small difference. The user interface is simple and easy to use, but I would like to have the option to change the icons.

    New in 4.43a3:
    - 7-Zip now can use multi-threading mode for compressing to .zip archives.
    - 7-Zip now uses order list (list of extensions) for files sorting for compressing to .7z archives. It can slightly increase compression ratio in some cases.
    - 7-Zip now can unpack some .zip archives with incorrect headers.
    - New localization: Armenian.

  3. Review - Morpheus Basic

    4.0.53.161 (Mar 15, 2004)

    The program is fine (if you remove all its spyware using Ad Aware or Spybot). Unlike Kazaa Lite K++, it doesn't provide good accelerator tools and the PC becomes unstable when you try to preview an incomplete movie using AVIPreview+. The multinetwork option is a great feature, also available in other p2p programs like sharezaa.

  4. Review - KaZaA Media Desktop

    2.50 Beta 2 (Jun 18, 2003)

    The new user inteface is nice, the new tabbed search is the unique new feature that seems to be good. The new address bar is ok, but this was already implemented in Kazaa Lite months ago. The new channels idea is cool, but it is not something that I really wanted. The new Favorites is fine, but I wouldn't use Kazaa as the main browser, specially because the capped Right-click menu. Limited up to 5 "search more" vs unlimited "search more" in K+. In short, Kazaa Lite/K++ (http://www.k-lite.tk) continues to be the best option, because it has integrated download accelerator, unlimited search more, addons, no spy-ware/bloatware, more configuration options, etc.

  5. Review - The Core Media Player

    4.0 RC3 (Mar 21, 2003)

    Excellent program, very nice user interface/icons, load fast, supports Winamp plugins and subtitles. However I think it will have a hard competence in the near future with the new Winamp 2.9. For me ZoomPlayer is now history with this player :)

  6. Comment - PlayStation2 Woes Continue

    4.0 RC3 (Nov 11, 2000 - 10:34 AM)

    According to ZDNet UK the cut was 35,000 units (from 200,000 to 165,000), not (200K + 165K = 365,000).
    35000 is the 17% of 200,000 mentioned in the article. But if you count the units reduced from the projected for USA, then it would be 535,000 units (500K + 35K). Anyway it's a bad news for all gamers (and parents too).
