- SIW 1.66 The Universal Windows Information Center — What is the today’s idea of the «advanced computer user»? I bet, that would be a user who is accustomed to *understanding* what is going on with his computer and its operating system and «feeling the pulse» of the entire system. Unfortunately, «the most common operating system» (mean Microsoft Windows) doesn’t seems to be very friendly to such advanced users; its typical…
- Bluest CryptShield 1.5.0, Your Information Is Yours Only — Data encryption, presumably, is the only known reliable way to protect your vital data from malefactors’ activity. Thoughts like «no unwanted visitor can use my computer» or «nobody will find those files on my computer» can’t consolidate your confidence. So, there is only one good advice: ENCRYPT it. And one good software for that: Bluest CryptShield. This effective and reliable suite implements three…
- XP Tools 7.76, Rule Over Your Windows! — When you’re trying to enchance and control your Windows, you have many options and utilities. The two most common extremes are «one utility for each single function» and «a suite for all service tasks». XP Tools software follows the second approach, and I should say it does the best in the logical organization and effective control. Let’s take a short guide through XP Tools and its usage patterns. The program…
- Mines XP — There are games that were once created to stay for long. They do not demonstrate mind-numbing graphics, feature amazing soundtracks and cutting-edge in-game technologies that modern entertainment titles have to offer. On the contrary, they are simple, compact, have a rather straightforward «storyline» and are primarily intended for testing your skills and entertaining you during short breaks in your mundane activities. These are casual games, which have…
- Vista Style Elements Icon Set, Do You Have a Dream? — As a developer, don’t you have a dream that the day will come when users will be able to comprehend the logics of your programs without your assistance, and your technical support service will finally take a break from those round-the-day silly questions like «How do I go around this menu?» or «What is that button for?» or «What do I do next?» Who knows when that GUI…
- ProxyShell Hide IP 2.2.1, I Have Nothing To Show — Internet as a communication and information medium is all about the anonymity. Some tend to see it as a «defect» (and even as a «critical defect» sometimes), but the fact is: the Internet has changed our world, and the Internet anonymity has added a great value to this change. But the other fact is: Internet anonymity is not full. There is a numerical IP address assigned to your…
- Net.Ex Pro 1.0, Browser For Information Overflow Age — Once Internet browsers were invented, they’ve targeted one-page-at-a-time model: you have window with address of «current place» and a web-page itself. With Web gaining popularity, browsers organized this way have shown themselves as insufficient: when you browse dozen ùà pages at a time, it’s not too handy to have dozen separate browser windows. The solution had trusted to be «tabbed browsing»…
- AlphaXP - all you need to have full control over transparency in Windows XP — Transparency is one of the coolest features that Windows Vista can boast. It creates the eye-candy effect that so many users expect to see in a next-gen OS, but, unfortunately, does not have much practical value. Although you can see through window elements, the underlying objects are blurred and the content of the window is not transparent at all — so, for instance, you cannot fill out a form by simply looking…
- Advanced Host Monitor – keep your fingers on the pulse of your network — Being a system administrator is somewhat similar to being a doctor — servers and websites can go down unexpectedly and at any moment and you can be woken up at night by an emergency. The problem gets especially serious when you are in charge of a large network of geographically distributed servers located in different time zones. If you’ve been dreaming about centralized monitoring…
