Microsoft Zune Theme 1.0 2008-03-15 09:07:46 This official Microsoft
theme turns your XP desktop into dark and shiny Zune
inspired work space.Microsoft's takes a decidedly dark turn in this black-tinted theme for Windows XP. A bright orange Start box, sharp gradients, and effective gray-on-gray accents make the theme--based on the company's Zune media player--a welcome change from the default blues and greens. We're not especially enamored of the default desktop wallpaper, which lunges away from the cool factor generated by the rest of the theme in favor of cheesiness, but that's an easy enough user customization. The theme looks especially good when coupled with the Firefox Zune theme created by an independent developer.Download Read more: Theme

Diskeeper 2008 2008-03-17 09:50:54 The beauty of Diskeeper
is its simplicity. It runs in the background and when your machine is idle it automatically defrags, so that manually defragmentation becomes as necessary as a dial-up modem. The application is tremendously efficient.There's scheduler, although the app contains a manual defragger so you can force a systems check. Other options will appeal to advanced users. Boot Time Defragging defrags your hard drive at start up, but also slows down the boot process. I-FAAST defragging sequences files in conjunction with the automatic defragger. Frag Shield keeps critical system files from fragmenting. Diskeeper keeps your swap file at the front of the disk, which makes transferring information considerably faster.Obtaining Diskeeper isn't as simple as using it, and you must regist
Corel DVD Copy 6 Plus 2008-03-17 09:43:31 Corel proves that it's not happy to let new tech pass it by without a robust update to DVD Copy. The app has two primary functions: It can copy video files from one source to another, and it can convert files. It can also convert and then copy.DVD Copy 6 supports converting to and from DVD, locally stored files, AVCHD, iPod, PSP, iPhone, cell phone, Nintendo DS and Gameboy, Zune, VCDs, and DivX formats. In our testing, which included an iPod, a DVD, a YouTube video, and several AVI and MPEG videos, we encountered no problems copying and converting from source to destination. The DVD copy function worked a bit slower, but our burner was ripping at 16x, so burner speed has a lot to do with it.The interface is slick, with Task Buttons in the upper left, a preview pane below them, and Output, Read more: Corel

Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 Suite 2008-03-19 08:28:30 Veteran Windows users are certainly familiar with the ubiquitous CD/DVD writing program, Easy CD Creator. Before Windows had native CD writing capabilities, Easy CD Creator was the application of choice for a large portion of the Windows-using population. In this day and age, people don't usually give much thought to the software they use for creating physical media. Though it's still available as a standalone program, the most full-featured edition of what is now known as Easy Media Creator is actually a suite of programs. Version 10 offers a number of interesting new tools and functions, but it seems to over-promise and under-deliver when it comes to expected and desired functionality.Easy Media Creator 10 Suite

FreeBSD 7.0 2008-03-18 11:41:47 Here we are at the moment of truth for the FreeBSD
operating system -- the 7.0 release. This is what FreeBSD users and developers have been waiting for ever since the dark days of the 5.X series when the promises of superior performance, threading, and stability fell flat. Though each release in the FreeBSD 6.X series improved markedly in quality and performance, 7.0 has been widely anticipated as the release that FreeBSD fans can have confidence in. I wish I could say that FreeBSD 7.0 lived up to the hype.FreeBSD overviewThis section is for people who are new to FreeBSD.

PlayStation 3 Now "Most Advanced" Blu-ray Player 2008-03-21 12:41:22 Here's another reason you want to be especially wary of unsourced chatter on the Internet. First, you may have encountered certain persons (PR plants in disguise? Is that too paranoid?) claiming HD DVD wasn't going anywhere in the wake of the format's early 2008 studio sponsorship meltdown. Of course it now seems that even the people suggesting HD DVD was in serious trouble may have been too conservative, given that the entire edifice effectively collapsed overnight.Then you had the occasional wander-by planting rumors that the PlayStation
3 Blu-ray drive was going to somehow be incompatible with upcoming changes to the Blu-ray format and thereby future Blu-ray discs, and that buying a PS3 for Blu-ray was simply an exercise in planned obsolescence.Well surprise, it's called "upgradeable fi
Mandriva Linux PowerPack 2008.0 2008-03-20 22:04:15 Mandriva Linux
has a history of inconsistency; one release will be superb, and the next one will be so bug-ridden and feature-weak that it's unusable. The only commonality among all releases are the excellent system configuration tools, which have continued to evolve over the years to match an increasing level of complexity in the desktop software stack. True to form, Mandriva 2008.0 is an excellent release, following the terrible 2007.1, and the just as excellent 2007.0. Some of the important things that were dropped from the previous release (Cedega, LinDVD) are back, and some of the problems (huge K menu button, cluttered menus) have been mitigated.Mandriva Linux overviewThis section is for people who aren't familiar with Mandriva Linux.

OpenBSD 4.2 2008-03-19 22:55:02 As usual, OpenBSD

Those who are may want to skip ahead to the next section on the new features in version 4.1The BSDs in general have a common reputation for high code quality and poor hardware support. In OpenBSD's case, the code is definitely high quality. Nothing in the default installation is half-implemented, or committed on an experimental basis. If full functionality is not yet possible for hardware drivers, basic functionality is achieved and thoroughly tested; this forms the basis for further driver development. Everything you get in the release is production-ready, secure by default (m
First Look: Lenovo ThinkPad X300 2008-03-19 22:40:14 Lenovo's buttoned-up Thinkpad X300 ultraportable notebook computer may not have the MacBook Air's superslim Spartan style, but after firing up the X300, it's hard to not love this laptop. From rock-solid construction to piled-in perks, this biz-centric beast provides just about everything that matters to the modern road warrior.The Air and X300 do have some similarities. They both have crisp 13.3-inch displays (although the X300 has a higher resolution--1440-by-900 pixels vs. 1280-by-800), and both offer 64GB solid state drives (An SSD comes standard with Lenovo's machine, but tacks about $1,000 onto the Air's price tag; if you equip them similarly, the notebooks cost about the same).Whether you're afraid of dropping your laptop at the airport or accidentally spilling some coffee on the ca Read more: First

Pinnacle Systems VideoSpin Video Editing Software 2008-03-19 22:23:38 Pinnacle Studio is far from my favorite video editing application, but Pinnacle's VideoSpin, a new, free editor based on Studio, does a pretty darn good job compared with most free video tools. Though it doesn't match the sophistication of paid-for applications, it does let you perform basic edits and output movies for use online or--if you're willing to sacrifice the cost of a cheap lunch--on your iPod or on a DVD.VideoSpin has some strict limitations. You can't import from DV camcorders, since the application works only with files on your hard drive. You can't edit audio, except for levels. And since the software has no video effects, you can't brighten dark movies. Unless you purchase add-ons, you can export only to AVI, Flash, Real, or MPEG-1 format; you can't exchange files with Studi Read more: Pinnacle
