   Review - CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack)

   2008-12-29 Beta (Dec 30, 2008)

   You will never see Gabest splitters be included in CCCP. They take more CPU, like to pass all audio tracks to the audio decoder even if you only listen to one of them etc.
   
   Haali Media Splitter is overwhelmingly better than the Gabest splitters.

   Review - GermaniX Transcoder

   4.0.0.25 Beta (Jun 18, 2007)

   Weaknesses of this transcoder:-
   
   1. Does not transfer ID tags in conversion.
   2. If the filename has exotic filenames such as ~ character or Japanese/Chinese names, this tool will not convert it. A fatal weakness.
   3. Not multithreaded (at least with the MP3 and AAC encoder I have tried).
   
   Weakness no.2 is not a good thing.

   I dunno about capturing cos I don't use that feature, but conversion can still be done in this version (2.6).
   
   4 stars because it still cannot navigate properly in folders with UNICODE characters.

   Review - AMD Catalyst Drivers for Windows

   6.5 (May 25, 2006)

   If you need to wait 3-5 minutes just to reboot, something is wrong with your computer. Please use Spybot/Ad-aware/Windows Defender etc. to clean up all the spyware junks that slows your computer start-up.
   
   Maybe your computer need reformatting.

6. Comment - Opera 11 final version published

   Just tried the stable version of Opera 11, then tried to use the NoAds extension from https://addons.opera.com...noads/1.0.8/?display=en and all I got is a broken ad-blocker. Even Google doesn't screw up their initial extension platform the way Opera did.

   Not all SOHO server applications are accessible via a browser my friend. Do you ever worked in one? Can ChromeOS ever login into an ActiveDirectory network? Can it print over LAN instead of over Internet? Can it find and use that shared printer and fax machines and then uses it? Without The Internet?

   Apparently you can access the file server, OpenDirectory/ActiveDirectory, mail server (POP/IMAP) or Exchange (with OWA disabled) etcvia ChromeOS? I don't think so.

9. Comment - Swedish Standards Vote on OOXML Declared Invalid, SIS to Abstain

   6.5 (Sep 4, 2007 - 8:40 AM)

   The main reason why the vote is invalidated, is because some idiot voted twice in the process. Not because of Microsoft encouraging their partners of voting (legal) or bribing (illegal, but not proven). This article sorely needs of an updated clarification.
   
   edit: Before someone asks why there are no new vote, it is because the deadline is way too near for another vote to be taken again.

    If ISO votes No with comments, it will be Microsoft itself.
