YouTube to MP3 Converter

YouTube to MP3 Converter is a tool that extracts audio from YouTube
(FLV) files and saves it to MP3 format. It features 4 preset audio
qualities (High, Optimal, Standard & Economy -- from 256kbs to 96kbs & 48000Hz
to 22050Hz), it can access FLV files from a URL (eg directly from
YouTube) or from the HDD, there is an option to add MP3 ID tag, language
editor, and more. This is a superb tool for anyone who wants to extract
audio from an FLV (Flash Video) movie file. It is simple to use and
gives you ample preset quality control to ensure that the file you create
has suitable quality but is not excessively large -- our sample file in
High Quality mode created an MP3 file that was 9.52MB, in Economy
Quality it was a more modest 3.57MB. Generally, voice only can be saved at
the most economical quality without a notable loss of sound quality. As
most YouTube videos have relatively poor quality (to keep the overall
file size small), the economy mode is probably suitable for the majo
rity of FLV extractions.

DVD Movie Player

Ants DVD Player is a DVD movie player. It features low CPU usage, Vista
optimization, D3D technology, multi-thread reading, digital audio
amplifier, playing area zoom, image capturing, learning mode, supports
Karaoke DVD, can display a secondary subtitle, audio amplification (200%,
300%, 400% or 500%), and more. This is a great little DVD player that is
worthy replacement for the cumbersome and memory hungry players
provided with many DVD drives. It is particularly suitable for laptop use
because of its low CPU usage and also the built-in audio amplification. We
really liked Ants DVD Player. It worked well under test and was easy
to use. The only problem we had was finding the Options dialog box to
change the default settings to English. That aside, Ants DVD Player is an
excellent DVD player.

ASP.NET Popup Control

This article describes an ASP.NET popup control. This control imitates MSN Messenger alert, but it is designed for use in a web page. Graphical appearance of this control can be completely changed by using one of predefined styles or by modifying all colors used on the control. Control supports Drag&Drop, so user can move control on the page, where he wants.

A very important feature of this control is, that it can be used on most of the current browsers. It is tested with latest version of Mozilla, Internet Explorer and Opera. The look of the control is different on browsers that doesn't support filters (filters are supported only in newer versions of MSIE). You can also use HTML in lot of control properties, so you can get popup with icon or anything you want.

System Optimizer and Cleaner

CCleaner is a system optimizer and cleaner that removes unused &
temporary files from the computer, allowing Windows to run faster, more
efficiently, and frees hard disk space. It features control over program
uninstall entries, control over startup entries, optional Registry backup
before cleaning, automatic checking for program updates, fast scanning,
and more. This is a superb system optimizer that flushes away dead
Registry entries and optionally removes unnecessary and wasteful files.
However, its biggest feature is its speed -- CCleaner is blindingly fast.
There are options to specify which cookies to retain, and even which
custom files and folders to include or exclude from the cleanup. Simple
to use, CCleaner is one of the best system cleaners. For details:

Online Newspaper Reader

Online Newspaper Reader is a program that allows you to read about 500
on-line newspapers from around the world. It allows you to sort by
newspaper (alphabetically) or by country, it has an easy-to-use interface,
and more. This program offers a list of on-line newspapers and you just
click on a newspaper to have it open in your Web browser (assuming you
were on-line). As expected, many of the newspapers listed were from
regional areas and were not mainstream daily papers. However, we were
disappointed in Online Newspaper Reader for other reasons. The author had
told us that there were "500+ online newspapers" to read, and the
program's official Website says a user could read "1000+ online newspapers"
but a quick count within the program showed only about 480 newspapers
listed, and some of those no longer existed, or the entry page was
incorrect. Of the seven papers we checked, two were not available. Maybe a
check of more would have lifted the percentage of live links to dead
links, but a 28% failure rate of the ones we did check was poor.
Online Newspaper Reader offers no automated update facility to rectify
errors and/or add new sites, or even a method of searching for an individual
newspaper -- just the ability to sort, either by paper of country.
Still, it is a worthwhile list of on-line newspapers and, as such, is a
usable program. Try it for yourself. For more details:

Malware Scanner

Prevx CSI is a malware (malicious software) scanner that scans for all
forms of malware on a computer and reports any infection. It features
fast scanning with on-line reporting, does not require any installation,
simple to use, and more. This is a scanner only. It does not clean
your computer, just reports any malicious software. As such it has limited
value, though it is worthwhile running various malware scanners to
ensure you catch all the malicious software on your computer. Prevx CSI
uses a comprehensive on-line database that is kept up-to-date so you
aren't relying on downloading new data to ensure you catch all instances of
malware. This means that it requires and active Internet connection to
work (plus permission to bypass your firewall). Once completed, you
see a report about your computer on the author's Website. We were
disappointed that Prevx CSI was simply a scanner and not a cleaner too.
However, it is a great addition to your existing malware and anti-virus p
rograms, and it may catch something that they miss. For that reason
alone, Prevx CSI is worth grabbing. Find more details at:

Digital Photo Resizing Tool

Picture Resize is a digital photo resizing tool. It features a
Wizard-driven photo resizer to batch resize photos, image cropping tool, an
image magnification, image rotation, includes 39 pre-set sizes (from
fullsize to icon size, including custom), an icon creator, image analysis
(image size in kB, download time, etc), choice of measurement (mm, inch,
pixel, etc), and more. This is an excellent program for all digital
camera owners and anyone who works with digital images. It gives you
tremendous control over resizing an image, and it supports BMP, GIF, JPG,
PNG, TIF & ICO file formats. We particularly liked the Quick Resize
feature which allows you to select a purpose for your image (to be e-mailed
-- 3 sizes available -- for wallpaper, etc). This resizes the image to
those preset dimensions and you just need to save the image at that
point for the new size to be implemented. It also links to your e-mail
client (Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc) and allows you to q
uickly e-mail a picture to your friends. Picture Resize is a handy tool
and we have no trouble recommending. Grab a copy now! at:

FUN Game - Pirate Cliff v1.0

Pirate Cliff is a fun shooter where you must protect your island &
treasures from evil pirates. It features many pirate bosses, 7 different
power-ups, you can purchase upgrades (cannon damage, ball speed, more
balls, & more lives), it has good graphics & sound effects, has highly
addictive gameplay, and more. This is not your normal shooter. In this
game you control a cannon perched high on a cliff on the edge of your
island and you must protect yourself from both air-borne (???) and
sea-borne pirates. The air-borne pirates float around in hot air balloons,
shooting at you, while the sea-borne pirates are attacking from tall ships.
You adjust the angle of fire with the mouse, then press the left
mouse-button to fire, and the right mouse button to defend yourself with a
shield over your cannon. Not only are these hot-air powered dirigibles
able to manoeuver with some agility, they are also gun platforms and
will attack your defenses unless you can destroy them (it usually take
a number of direct hits before they are destroyed). As the pirate
ships approach, they go under the firing range of the cannon and, to
destroy them, you must fire your cannon high in the air so that the balls
rain down on them. As you destroy the attackers, you get credits which
can then be used to purchase longer cannon life (repairs your damaged
cannon), faster cannon balls, etc. Pirate Cliff a simple game that is
surprisingly good fun to play. It has a high addictive element and you will
find yourself coming back to it time after time. We loved! Note: we
have been advised that this program is not suitable for Windows 95.
