There hasn't been a whole lot to report on in regards to LM_Sensors, the main sensor monitoring package and its kernel drivers for thermal/fan/voltage polling on Linux.

Review: Camino 2 | Posted on: 13/01/2010 @ 12:10

Camino 2 resembles the mutant love child of Safari and Firefox. It's based around the Gecko rendering engine used in Firefox, but aims to ape Safari in terms of user experience, utilising key Mac OS X technologies such as Keychain, Spotlight and Dictionary. With version 2, you get a lean, efficient web browser, albeit one that falls between two camps: it's neither as polished as Safari nor as ...

Review: iFunia Video Converter Pro | Posted on: 13/01/2010 @ 11:20

iFunia Video Converter Pro throws in the ability to perform some trim edits, add filters and a watermark. Functionally, it's perfectly adequate. Unfortunately, that's where the good points end. iFunia does its job sufficiently well, but it suffers from a crippling lack of polish.

Since it's a bar you type in to create a results list based on incremental search terms, you'd be forgiven for confusing LaunchBar with Spotlight. But LaunchBar is so much more than Spotlight, which has a sole trump card in its ability to search within files. Elsewhere, LaunchBar rules the roost. For example, you can train an item to launch using your preferred characters, and LaunchBar offers ...

One of the hallmarks of a good business is its ability to release products with a unique selling point. If your USP is very niche or borderline useless, it won't win over potential users. Unfortunately for Roxio, Popcorn 4's unique feature suffers from this fatal flaw. But first, let's be clear on something: Popcorn itself is not useless.

VIA Releases New Documentation, But It's Old | Posted on: 12/01/2010 @ 14:50

A few weeks back we shared VIA's Linux TODO list, which was very disappointing to say the least.
