- IsoBuster 2.0, Optical Disk Surgery — IsoBuster has shocked me. Those several small windows under the covers contain such an incredible number of tools for broken optical disks! When I say «optical disks», I mean virtually any optical media from the «ancient» CR ROMs and up to HD DVD and Blu Ray disks, which are still more in the future than in the present. IsoBuster extracts the most from any of those disks. The software understands any file…
- Virtual TimeClock Pro 5.4, Possessing Time // Snap a Grip On Your Time — Virtual TimeClock Pro is one of the rare cases of software that solves complex and important tasks by means of simple and clear user interface (not drawing down its great features). The program addresses the issue of employee time accounting, and it does that gracefully. Signs of this grace are everywhere — in Virtual TimeClock’s usability, scalability, and performance. The software has equal usefulness for both self-accounting…
- 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…
- True BoxShot 1.6.3, Excellent Virtual Boxes — The so-called «box shots» (images of 3D boxes with a logo and a description) is a haut ton of software vendors. But, despite the apparent simplicity of the task, a surprisingly small number of websites can take pride for their box shots. The problem is that the «shoot the real box» way requires a great deal of post-processing of the shots (not saying that it requires a real box…
- 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…
- Abundance Affirmations From Abundance Genie DSPP, Virtual Hypnotherapist — We are already used to many professions being «virtualized» with the appropriate software. Within a few megabytes, you can have your own bookkeeper, secretary, writing and painting assistants. But can you have your own software hypnotherapist complete with abundance affirmations? Those expensive and mysterious professionals seems to be half-magicians. Can their knowledge and skills really can be digitized? The answer is: YES. Just try…
- FantaMorph Pro 3.5, Image Morphing For The Rest Of Us — Those of us who have serious video-effects software are happy people (of course, if they really CAN use their software). Besides the serious creative works, they can create small but cool effects for web pages, presentations, and entertainment. But the rest of us, who don’t like to buy and study those «professional packages», can still Do The Effects with small, pretty and easy software tools that feature narrower but yet sufficient…
- 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…
