   Review - Genie Eyes Only

   1.0 (Oct 15, 2008)

   Another encrypt/hide/erase app. Pros: Does what it should, is fully context menu integrated, easy to use, sticks with 128, 192 and 256 bits Rijndael only, so there's no conflict with implementation of optional algorithms. Cons: Not open source, rather expensive. Not-exactly-cons: Doesn't hide files/folders in safe mode (though they stay encrypted of course), but that's just as well - no risk of spooky problems arising from it. All in all a good app if you feel that you want to conceal your encrypted files from casual snoopers. But do consider freeware first.

   Review - FileDrag

   3.2 (Jul 5, 2008)

   This seems to be a handy little application and I'd love to write a review of it but alas! - when you try to download it you'll end up in Latvia, the language of which I do not speak. Does anyone know what "download" is in Latvian? My rating's there just because it has to - it doesn't say anything about the app.

   Review - Zapr

   0.0.0.173 Beta (Jun 9, 2008)

   Zapr was a great idea when I first encountered it, and it worked reasonably well. Then there was some sort of update and everything went wrong. All you got was an unintelligible message when trying to install the update. The only thing that worked was the automated confirmation letter when you opened a new account. So the thing seemed dead. About a year went by, and then, lo and behold, there was an email the other week with the message that Zapr had risen from the tomb. Now it's out of beta state and fully functioning, even providing smooth automatic update. So welcome back, guys!

   Review - Image2Icon

   1.0.0.0 (Mar 24, 2008)

   A 2 because it does what it says, but loading doesn't work - you'll have to drag and drop the images to be converted. There are so many more free applications of higher quality, so I can't really see the raison d'etre of this one.
