- Active Desktop 1.043, No More Desktop — Do you really love that boring Windows «desktop» concept? I personally don?t. Even if I could believe there were desktops in size of a stool, I still wouldn?t believe that a handful of icons are the only things I could place on my desktop. I want some more of dynamics, I want some more of information, and I want some more of beauty, after all! If you feel yourself the same way…
- Virtual Stopwatch 3.0, Like Real, But Much Better — Many years ago, a multi-functional watch was a dream and a charming attribute of virtually any «real man». It was a relatively huge thing, which had to have a multitude of functions and displays, be elegant and reliable. In today’s computerized time, every man can have a Virtual Stopwatch, which does all the best the «real watch» has done, and a much more. I’d like to call…
- WashAndGo 8, Cleaning Up Your Virtual Home — Today, the majority of us think of our modern computers as of «almost-self-organizing-places.» We do not care much about how «clean» our digital environment is. As long as we are protected against viruses, we think «our computer is and always be OK!» But in fact your «virtual home», just like your real home, has many places that need regular cleaning. Many bad-tempered…
- iTAB, Real Look for Your Virtual Music Collection — Remember, in the good old days, when the most advanced high-tech player was a huge boom-box, you opened a CD rack at home, and dozens of your favorite artists’ eyes stared at you from those CD cases, pictures taken during their feature concerts pleased your sight, and lyrics of your favorite songs recalled the most precious melodies in your memory? Things have worsened with the advent of digital technology. Now, if you open…
- Dis# 3.1.1, Back To Sources — The great feature of bytecode-based languages, and, namely, .NET assemblies, is a possibility to «return to source code» at any time. Assembly decompilation is a great tool to understand «how something works», either some general algorithms and data structures, or internal logics of some software or components. Unfortunately, simple decompilation tools give a very poor result which is hard to read…
- Noki 1.4, Opening Nokia — Transferring essential data between a PC and a mobile phone isn’t an easy task. Typically, we have to get on with two «independent» information storages, the main (PC) and a mobile (phone) without any connections. Software provided by a phone manufacturer usually can’t fully solve the problem. For Nokia phones, we have Nokia PC Suite (made by Nokia), which can easily make *backup* of all…
- AntiPlagiarist 1.8, Where's Your Sources? — Digital century and digital style of work bring new possibilities to all of us, but they also bring new problems. And new ways to solve those new problems; and new unwanted effects of those ways… And one of the most general possibilities (and a source of the problems) is *possibility to copy*. Scientific works and home works, magazine articles and blogposts, even entire chapters in serious technical books are shamelessly copied…
- Open Fitness 2.0, Caring For Your Body — Careful work with your own body requires, eventually, an extensive work with information. It doesn’t really matter whether you are an athlete with everyday workouts, or another sportsman, or you do some aerobic exercises, or you even just care about the diet, anyway you should know exactly what and how you did yesterday (a month ago, a year ago), and therefore you should plan what do today (tomorrow, next month). Of course, you can…
- Virtual Music Composer 3.0 PRO, A Source For Inspiration — Regardless of how «intellectual» you think your computer is, you can’t disagree that today’s software programmers have many smart ideas, useful for the most of us. In the area of music writing, conservative musicians tend to see the computer as a smart keyboard (sometimes way too smart); modern musicians tend to see it as a cutting table for samples and effects. Almost nobody tries to use the…
