  1. Review - Recuva

    1.41.537 (Nov 16, 2011)

    Pros: Nice UI. Pretty quick scan (except deep scan). I think it works like most other free recovery software.

    Cons: First of all, you can't alter and save filter presets. In case for example you're looking for document files but the document file type is not included in the preset, you have to append it in filter box. And then the filtering process can be TERRIBLY SLOW. Moreover, you can't save the list of files found in case you need to resume work later. You have to redo the scan again.

    Overall: OK if your hard drive isn't too big.

  2. Review - Ubuntu

    10.04 LTS (Apr 30, 2010)

    ATI's fglrx drivers are not yet available for this one, so Radeon users you might wanna wait longer until it's ready. Otherwise use the open version and not having Compiz fx.

  3. Review - 7-Zip (64-bit)

    9.12 Beta (Apr 14, 2010)

    On Windows 7 64-bit, the program could not extract files onto certain places without Admin privileges. It's a hassle when you try to extract an archive via context-menu. You have to go around open the app in admin mode, find the archive and then extract.

  4. Review - IrfanView

    4.20 (Dec 14, 2008)

    Aside from being light-weight, it has...

    - No zoom-lock.
    - It cannot view images inside zip archive.
    - Wile viewing an image in a directory, it cannot auto-start slideshow without having to re-select the directory and all images inside it.

    I'm staying with ACDSee 5.

  5. Review - Opera for Windows

    9.50 Build 10063 Final (Jun 16, 2008)

    I thought Thunderbird 2 was good but today I went back to Opera mail since TB2 started to corrupt my mails because of compacting and its awfully weak spam filter. Bye bye TB2.

  6. Comment - Google Chrome in a runaway lead for browser performance supremacy

    9.50 Build 10063 Final (Nov 2, 2009 - 6:57 AM)

    Enough speed. Let's talk about printing. I heard Firefox gives best result in this regard, while IE at very close second.
