Around a couple of weeks back I came to know about this tiny piece of software, since it is a Freeware I didn't hesitate to install it on my PC - actually I got this tiny fellow from Digit Magazine Freeware DVD, and that's the history, This Software is not huge and will even run in a PC with 128 MB of RAM.  And  the question lies here what's the need of an secondary software as Windows Fearture  ' Add or Remove Programs ' under its Control Panel.  Well I have also thought of it until I used this Software on my Desktop.  Before explaining it's feature let me say the Configuration I had, It's a Intel C2D 2.20 Ghz with 512 MB of DDR2 RAM with Intel Integrated graphics solution.  This means I have tested this software under a Basic Home PC.

Features : 

- Removes Unwanted Registry Entry left over by the software after Uninstall.

- Faster than Windows Add or Remove Build-in Program.

- Search for an Installed Program.

- Hunter Mode.

- Changing Views as in Explorer.

Performance :

            To check the performance of the Software I compared it with Windows Build-in Add or Remove Programs and Revo Uninstaller, as I have briefed in the Features Pane Windows Uninstaller doesn't seems to detect the left over entries in the Registry, where as Revo does it with out pain, this can be a very useful and welcome feature for an secondary Uninstaller.  There is also an Auto-Update feature that allows you to update the software.  I think this may update the software for it's newer features and fix any bugs if any ( I haven't tested this feature, due to my slow internet connection, bad than a dial-up speed ).  And there is yet another feature known as Hunter Mode which allows you to choose a program to uninstall in real times.  Consider you have Foxit Reader installed on your PC you can uninstall it simply by toggling to Hunter Mode and click on the desktop icon and that's it the end of the software.  So say good bye, to Windows Installer and switch to Revo Installer.

Additional Tools in Revo Uninstaller :

- Delete File which cannot to Removed Later.

- Free Up disk space by removing unwanted files.

- Windows Tool Manager.

- Auto Start Manager.

Works with : 

- Windows Vista ( All Versions )

- Windows XP ( All Versions )

- Windows 2003 Server

- Windows 2000

Time's Up Friends to Switch over to a new Browser 

...............................................................................

And well this time as I have promised I went to review Safari Browser, before writing this article I went across some tips and tricks published by digit Magazine on Safari Browser, needless to say I am using safari browser full time but I am not biased for just supporting Safari for all its features, but you should believe safari is not the best browser available - lets stay off the pros and cons lets get into the review - Let's Start of with some History and Features..,

HISTORY : 

Once upon a time, Oops!!! Sorry Folks - Here's the genuine one - Safari is a web browser developed by Apple ( ya, the company famous for iPhone and iPod ) - It is the default browser in Mac OS X, It was released under public beta on Jan 7, 2003 for Mac Operating System and for Windows it was released on Jun 11, 2007 - Both Widows XP and Vista are supported and to note Safari is also the default browser in iPhone and iPod Touch ( No prizes for guessing that ! )

LIST OF FEATURES :

Safari offers most of the features that other browser in the earth offers us, and for the notable here are a few : 

- Tabbed Browsing ( Can't live without that...)

- In build Search Bar.

- Bookmark Manager.

- Polished Environment.

- Pop-Up ad blocking.

- Spell Checking.

- Automatic Filling of Web Forms.

- Built-in Password Management.

- Integration of Apple's Quick Time Player Technologies.

- Better way towards Feeds.

   

                .......are to mention a few of the many features of Safari Browser, now get into the real time review of the Safari Browser..

REVIEW : 

Just to mention safari for windows is faster in terms of speed, and provides the cool and fresh environment for the browser, both for XP and Vista - it's great for sure, but the question that remains is how many add-ons are for Safari Browser and I am sorry to answer this question as there are null for now, I you need the power of add-ons you should be an avid fan of FireFox is great for add-ons; Officially I see the wings of Safari for Windows is spreading across the globe as I can see it from every popular Forums across the Web, and I too have requested my friends to use Safari. The first thing that can impress you can be the environment as we have discussed earlier, and again speaking the bookmarks bar is of great use it's simply great and greater - But regarding network connections it uses the default windows connections unlike FireFox or Opera, ( Edit ->Preferences ) ; And there is one thing that is not available in other browsers and is known as the Private Browsing, which means when you are in Private Browsing Mode, the address you are typing in the address bar, Passwords, Username will not be stored in History - A good tool when you are using public or your friends computer - You can toggle between the mode using Edit -> Private Browsing. All other commands are similar to Internet Explorer and other major Browsers.., A sure check it out browser for you, as usual leave back your comment below, the next time I will come up with even more interesting articles.. Have a NICE DAY dudes...

Description: VolumeTouch gives quick control over your PC’s volume by using a combination of hotkeys and the mouse or arrow keys.

The first thing I will say about this program is that, aside from performing a very useful function, it scores high marks in terms of the user experience it provides. Once you start experimenting with the combination of hotkey/mouse controls for volume you will find that these are very intuitive and well conceived.

The program also uses a system tray icon to display volume levels as a bar gauge or a percentage numeric, which also turned out to be a much more useful that I would have initially thought. More notes on this program:

• How it works: you can either control the volume with the mouse scroll wheel, through your mouse’s vertical or horizontal movements (but you’ll have to pick one method). Once you specify which method you like in the settings, you can press the default hotkey (CTRL+Shift) and move the scroll wheel up and down (or the mouse up and down, or left and right) in order to control the volume. If you prefer you can use the UP/DOWN arrow keys instead, and CTRL+Shift+0 will mute/unmute.
  
• Skins: the VolumeTouch icon in the system tray functions as a volume gauge that displays the volume level. Five "skins" are included, including my favorite "percent" which displays the volume as a percentage (See screenshot). You might want to remove the Windows native volume icon from the system tray (right click on it, click adjust audio properties, then uncheck "place volume icon in the taskbar").
• Memory consumption: a rather large 12-15 megs. However, this is probably inflated because this program requires Microsoft .NET framework and, in my experience, real memory consumption for .NET framework apps is difficult to determine for sure.
• Reasons to use Volumouse: offers up to five different user-defined hotkey-activated functions. Highly customizable: can control different channels and specific volume components rather than the general volume. Takes up only 3 megs of memory, and does not require .NET framework.

• The verdict: overall this is a great program and very intuitive to use. If you are sensitive to .NET and/or memory consumption you might want to try Volumouse instead; however when it comes to simplicity of design and providing a good user experience VolumeTouch definitely delivers.
