Imo Instant Messenger review

Monday, March 5, 2012

I've long been a fan of imo, the free Web-based chat service that lets you connect with your contacts from multiple services. That's why I was eager to check out the latest version, which adds a range of features. Some of them, such as the ability to create chat groups and a new, thin UI, which lets you pop windows out of your browser, are great. Others, such as the imo network, which allows you to connect with folks you might not otherwise known, are of more dubious value.

Miranda review

Thursday, December 8, 2011

I've worked from home for many years. When I need to quickly get a hold of a colleague, I turn to my trusty instant messaging client, Miranda IM. I've been using Miranda for over five years, mainly because of how customisable it is. Thanks to Miranda's advanced plugin systems, I was able to make it into instant messaging client of my dreams.

Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition review

Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture stole the limelight this year, summarily trouncing its predecessors, and the best that AMD had to offer, with considerable performance boosts and power savings.

Fusion 4 is the newest version of VMware's virtualisation solution for the Mac, which allows you to run multiple operating systems within Mac OS X.

Daminion Standalone review

Back in the days of traditional film photography, it was easy to see when you had many photos: Shelves full of albums (or shoeboxes bursting with prints) were visible. Today, you could have hundreds of thousands of photos in your collection, and they would take up next to no physical space. Organizing all of those photos, however, is still a massive undertaking. Daminion Standalone is a free application that tries to help you tag and sort your photos in ways that make sense. read more...

Breezi review

Just because Microsoft no longer makes FrontPage doesn't mean people no longer need a visual way to create websites. On the contrary: Breezi (currently in free Beta) joins the ranks of visual website creation tools alongside Wix, Weebly, Jimdo, and many other tools. Breezi may not be completely unique, but it sure has style. read more...
