NVIDIA's ForceWare Multimedia - An In-House Production [Article, AnandTech]
We have been waiting to take a look at NVIDIA's ForceWare Multimedia application since December of 2003, when we had our GeForce FX Personal Cinema Roundup. The biggest issue that we had back then was the lack of an in-house software solution from NVIDIA, since they turned to Intervideo's WinDVR, which, as a software solution, wasn't even designed to accompany the Personal Cinema cards in the first place.

Unreal Tournament 2004 Review [Review, SharkyExtreme]
When Unreal Tournament 2003 hit the scene two years ago, the game was difficult for veterans to sink their teeth into. While it was overflowing with style, lighting-fast action, and intense competition, it was sorely lacking in terms of evolution. With the team-based gameplay of titles like Battlefield 1942 dominating the online arena, the vanilla Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes of UT 2003 had a "been there done that" air surrounding it, and many players quickly became bored.

Is DOS gaming dead? [Article, Monster-Hardware]
After trying and mainly failing for the last several weeks to get a handful of old DOS games that I have had an urge to play again to run on a modern PC, I have come to the sad realization that if DOS gaming is not yet dead like I questioned in the title of this article, then it is certainly on life support. Let me take you back to the start of my DOS gaming journey and my reasons for making the above statement. Fri, 30 Apr, 2004 | 7 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Mailblocks Web-Based Email [Review, nextgenelectronics]
These days, the web-based email addresses that can be checked anywhere in the world are the most popular amongst internet users. Unfortunately for everyone the market is dominated by two companies - Yahoo and Hotmail (Microsoft) - and their competition really isn't much to look at.

Alexa. Is she accurate? [Article, Bytesector]
Alexa Internet is a company dedicated to “making a better internet”, but as Bytesector has found in the last 6 months, a better internet seems to be hurting people more than its helping. The main attraction of Alexa is the traffic ranking system which provides users with basic traffic information about almost any website. Type in the address (or perform a search) and Alexa places a link beside each result called “Site info”. Clicking on the site info brings you to a page about that site with data compiled by the Alexa engine. It provides information about traffic details, the speed at which the site is improving its traffic rank, the number of other sites that link to the site in question, the amount of pop-ups, the date the site came into existence and other nifty information that has an appeal to interested visitors.

Adaware Vs. Spybot [Review, AseLabs]
In the previous article about safer computing, I explained what spyware was and what programs there are to remove it. Unlike virus scanners, spyware removal tools are better when used in conjunction with each other - one can find spyware that the other doesn't. I always suggest using them both, but there are some that are curious as to which is the better program. I wrote this article to determine which program, on it's own, removes more spyware.

ATI's Multimedia Center 8.8 - The Home Multimedia Server [Review, AnandTech]
ATI's Multimedia Center has come a very long way since the original All-in-Wonder cards and has gained more steam with features like MulTView, ThruView, EazyLook, etc. Multimedia Center 8.8 features EazyShare, a new feature that provides users the ability to share live or recorded TV from a single PC equipped with an All-in-Wonder card. Any PC on the network then can tap into the shared TV signal, but it must have a Radeon graphics card to do so. This transitions the All-in-Wonder from a personal video recorder into a public video recorder. Mon, 22 Dec, 2003 | 39 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Microsoft Office 2003 Professional [Review, OCWorkbench]
Office 2003 is a milestone for Microsoft as it is the first time Microsoft launches a suite of applications that binds together for better productivity. In the past, we always thought Office 2003 only consists of Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook etc. In fact, the Office suite has grown much bigger than that. Office 2003 series consists of more and they include Access, Excel, FrontPage, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher, Visio

Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album [Review, bytesector]
Jasc is a growing digital imaging company set for competing with the likes of Adobe and Corel. Started in 1991 and winning ever more awards since 1998, the development of their user-friendly interfaces and graphically potent programs make any Jasc product a great one. Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album is meant to compete with Adobe Photoshop Album, ACDSee, and Apple iPhoto; and as for features, it far surpasses them. It is a great package that every home user with a digital camera should have. Sat, 22 Nov, 2003 | 24 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Media Front-End Roundup (for HTPCs) [Review, ExtremeTech]
The Home Theater PC seems to be increasing in popularity, even though dedicated function devices have caught up with the PC in many cases. Hardware like TiVo has taken on PVR capability, $99 DVD players now ship with progressive-scan capability and TVs with scalers have dropped below the $2,000 barrier. But, with all of its versatility and flexibility, the PC can do all of these things -- sometimes better. Sun, 09 Nov, 2003 | 25 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Snapstream's Personal Video Station 3.3 software [Review, Tech-Report]
ASK ME ABOUT THE COOLEST piece of technology I've bought in the last five years, and after some reflection (I love my iPod, after all) I'll give you a one-word answer: Tivo. Non-believers scoff when told by the faithful: "It will change the way you watch TV." But then, they of little faith become the converted, and are soon singing the praises of the PVR (personal video recorder). Thu, 06 Nov, 2003 | 36 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Preview: Microsoft's Windows Longhorn [Review, ExtremeTech]
This is a preview based on a very early release of Microsoft's next-generation operating system. It lacks the modern user interface elements that will be in the final version. Given that the code is far from final and may contain many debug elements, the system's performance will likely improve in subsequent releases. Any statements we make about perceived performance may not apply to the final version, and any feature discussed here may also change before Longhorn's final release in 2006.

Microsoft Office System 2003 Editions Review [Review, WinSuperSite]
Pity poor Microsoft: When it overloaded Office with mountains of features over the past decade, customers complained about bloat and decried the installation footprint of the product. So with Office 2003, the company has taken a different approach, backing off on major new features for the most part, instead working to ensure that its products work better individually and with each other. And the complaints begin anew: "Where are the new features?" the critics ask. Sun, 26 Oct, 2003 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne [Review, MyGamer]
Max Payne came out three years ago, and was quickly one of my favorite games. In style and execution, it had no equal, especially in the world of first- or third-person shooters. To refresh my memory of the story nuances and because it was just so damn cool, I decided to install and replay Max Payne again before embarking on the character’s latest downward spiral into Hell.
