As always with google, the interface is really slick and amazing. It's dual problem and maybe it's success is lack of plugin support. The thing I miss the most about firefox is access to delicious book marks. I wouldn't mind this so much if the book mark manager interfaced with google web bookmarks, but it doesn't unfortunately. I do believe the reason for this is that it's looking to the future in terms of web applications and everybody moving away from what's on the local machine. 2147483647 2007-06-13T05:16:01Z 34255 2019-11-12T12:13:09Z Google Chrome 19909 2009-11-28T12:32:07Z http://www.google.com/chrome http://wakoopa.com/software/google-chrome http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/006/977/normal.png?1238578445 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/006/977/thumb.png?1238578445 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc Check what's happening on the web 1 Browsers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/browsers mac win Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google.

A little unstable at times on Vista x64. I find myself quite addicted to it.

The interface is superb, search functions great, and will find moved/copied images quickly. IF they could find a way to incorporate the face recognition and tagging of the web version I would be a very happy person. I have some reservations regarding the capacity provided by the web version, so my loyalties lie elsewhere for that, but I for me Picasa is the only software to use for local management. 68644487 2007-04-19T17:57:05Z 63 2016-04-06T08:57:32Z Picasa 10718 2009-11-15T17:33:07Z picasa.google.com http://wakoopa.com/software/picasa http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/001/918/normal.png?1238514040 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/001/918/thumb.png?1238514040 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc Organize your images and photos 60 Image Management http://wakoopa.com/categories/design/image-management mac win The smart way to manage your digital photo collection!

It learns from clicks what stories I like and the recommendations are appropriate and useful. The only possible disadvantage is maybe the speed at which stories are aggregated, which makes some other interfaces quicker to get breaking stories. For access to traditional news such as newspapers and the BBC, there's really nothing better in my opinion. 13650388 2008-10-09T21:01:56Z 151062 2145-12-08T09:30:40Z Google News 14048 2009-11-21T01:53:30Z http://news.google.com http://wakoopa.com/software/google-news http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/124/670/normal.png?1248585646 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/124/670/thumb.png?1248585646 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc 22 RSS Readers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/rss-readers web About Google News Google News is a computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader's personalized interests. Traditionally, news readers first pick a publication and then look for headlines that interest them. We do things a little differently, with the goal of offering our readers more personalized options and a wider variety of perspectives from which to choose. On Google News we offer links to several articles on every story, so you can first decide what subject interests you and then select which publishers’ accounts of each story you’d like to read. Click on the headline that interests you and you'll go directly to the site which published that story. Our articles are selected and ranked by computers that evaluate, among other things, how often and on what sites a story appears online. We also rank based on certain characteristics of news content such as freshness, location, relevance and diversity. As a result, stories are sorted without regard to political viewpoint or ideology and you can choose from a wide variety of perspectives on any given story. We'll continue to improve Google News by adding sources, fine-tuning our technology and providing Google News to readers in even more regions. Features Personalized news: No one can read all the news that’s published every day, so why not set up your page to show you the stories that best represent your interests? Alerts: You can sign up to receive weekly, daily or as-it-happens email alerts on any topic that interests you. News for your mobile phone: If you have a mobile data plan, you can access a special version of Google News right from your mobile phone. Feeds: You can receive updates of various sections of Google News or Google News search results by subscribing to RSS or Atom feeds in your favorite feed reader. News archive search: Search and explore information from historical archives dating back over 200 years. 2009-02-20T02:56:40Z 42955 0 Great Lightweight BitTorrent app. Not a memory hog. 243968070 2007-04-20T04:11:57Z 66 2020-05-01T02:42:26Z µTorrent 18963 2009-11-28T13:54:46Z http://utorrent.com http://wakoopa.com/software/utorrent http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/095/245/normal.png?1246631558 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/095/245/thumb.png?1246631558 18711 BitTorrent, Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/bittorrent-inc Sharing data with others 10 File sharing http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/file-sharing mac win µTorrent (also microTorrent or uTorrent) is a freeware proprietary BitTorrent client for Microsoft Windows & Mac OS X written in C++, and localized for many different languages.

Supports every codec I want in usual order of business (except rmvb, but that sucks anyway and I rarely use it). I've had no problems with mkv playback and it even plays mp4s and movs that itunes and quicktime have rejected as unreadable. 890813985 2009-02-09T11:48:55Z 198793 2019-09-18T08:58:15Z VLC Media Player 21006 2009-11-28T06:20:16Z http://www.videolan.org/vlc http://wakoopa.com/software/vlc-media-player http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/151/799/normal.png?1254577380 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/151/799/thumb.png?1254577380 1883 VideoLAN team http://wakoopa.com/developers/videolan-team Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players mac win linux VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac ...) as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

Integration between picasa, picasa web, blogger and google-earth, is just so slick it's hard to ignore. Similarly Zooomr.com provides unlimited storage space (and monthly bandwidth) for free, counteracting my first reason for signing up for Flickr. I've also found Yahoo Maps service that Flickr uses for geo-tagging to be behind Google in the area that I live, which for China means that I cant get street names, which as you can imagine is a pain. I wish I knew in advance that the tags, titles and comments can be read from the jpeg meta data. Syncing software that checks that photos already uploaded would be nice. Positives: Community, stats tracking, plugin development, probably the reason for many of the developments elsewhere. 139847502 2008-09-20T15:52:04Z 145586 2146-01-02T20:51:55Z Flickr 23752 2009-11-26T16:41:13Z http://flickr.com http://wakoopa.com/software/flickr http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/094/724/normal.png?1246541587 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/094/724/thumb.png?1246541587 3902 Yahoo http://wakoopa.com/developers/yahoo Organize your images and photos 60 Image Management http://wakoopa.com/categories/design/image-management win web Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform.

As a turn based strategy game it's hard to fault it. There is depth and challenge to the game that rivals traditional strategy games such as Chess and Go. Perhaps replay ability is limited to those who find such games uninteresting. Patience is needed. 11327787 2007-04-30T11:22:55Z 460 2009-11-28T10:57:00Z Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Warlords 255 2009-09-04T22:16:05Z http://www.firaxis.com/games/game_detail.php?gameid=13 http://wakoopa.com/software/civilization-iv-warlords-installer http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/145/normal.jpg?1238514677 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/145/thumb.jpg?1238514677 199 Firaxis Games http://wakoopa.com/developers/firaxis-games 43 Strategy http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/strategy mac win Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Warlords is the first expansion pack for the award-winning game that has become an instant world-wide hit.
