   Review - DVD Store

   1.0 (Apr 30, 2013)

   Ha, does anybody really want to spend $50 to make flv files? This program is obviously for people who don't know what they're doing. The rest of us will make mkv files using the free Handbrake, or another alternative.

   Review - Tixati

   Looks like this just got posted to BetaNews...I've been using this for a while now. I don't remember how I originally ran across it, but it's the torrent program I like the most after ditching uTorrent and Vuze etc for it.

   Review - AceMoney Lite

   4.31 (Dec 19, 2012)

   After Microsoft Money was discontinued, I decided to get new software when I switched to a different bank and had a new account. This is the best one I tested, and it's still working out great for me. The interface could be nicer, but it works well and although the program is simple and limited to my checking and saving account, I realize I never used all the extra stuff in MS Money. This is just what I need.

   Review - Trillian

   4.1.0.20 Beta (Jan 6, 2010)

   I was interested in trying this since people were saying it's better than Digsby, but even after changing the skin to the classic style, it just doesn't seem as usable. When you have Facebook, MySpace, Messenger and a few email accounts set up, Digsby, for all the issues people have with it, is just a lot more manageable and nicer to maneuver. Plus, I couldn't connect to the MySpace chat because I don't have a MySpace URL set up, which isn't a problem with Digsby (I could connect to Facebook Chat just fine). Checking mail is far superior in Digsby. I think it comes down to preference, and I use the 'lite' Digsby installer ( http://update.digsby.com/install/digsby_setup.exe ) so I haven't experienced all the bloat people complain about.

   Review - Mp3tag

   Amazing tagging software, makes organizing a collection sooo much easier. Especially if you go to the forums and get or update the scripts people write for it. You still have to tweak things your own way, but at least it's not as unfriendly as foobar2000!. I'd also highly recommend Album Art Downloader (for grabbing covers), Mixmeister BPM analyzer if you want BPMs tagged, and the lyricsplugin ( http://www.hydrogenaudio...dex.php?showtopic=62821) for getting lyrics in foobar2000 (I think the lyricswiki part is broken; also remember to set the lyrics to store in the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field for compatibility). I also use foobar2000 for setting replaygain in tags.

   I can see the video now: "DEPOSITIONERS DEPOSITIONERS DEPOSITIONERS DEPOSITIONERS!"

   Well, I could be wrong...I think that happened once before. But here's a link I found that has a bit of info: http://xbox360.qj.net/Ma...se-it-/pg/49/aid/122402

   From what I've read, you can choose to stay with the classic interface. So the avatars and stuff would be voluntary.

9. Comment - Google CEO cites 'a natural fear of things getting larger'

   2.45a (Sep 18, 2008 - 7:21 PM)

   I think it may be more of a natural fear of trusting CEO's of large corporations to do the fair thing for competition. Of course, it must be 'fair' if they can find a loophole in regulations or bypass them altogether.

    Haha, what a leap forward...back in my day I had to walk around playing my death metal from cassette on a dictaphone!
