2009-05-19T18:58:34Z 60573 0 You know what? Everything that can be said about FF has been said. So I'm only going to make one point. A web browser is a web browser. But I use FF for its extensions. If you're not using extensions, there's no advantage to using FF over <insert rival browser here>. Extensions FTW! 2147483647 2007-04-18T13:21:12Z 15 2020-05-01T02:42:26Z Firefox 54205 2009-11-29T14:58:10Z http://www.mozilla.com/firefox http://wakoopa.com/software/firefox http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/133/764/normal.png?1250310044 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/133/764/thumb.png?1250310044 95 Mozilla http://wakoopa.com/developers/mozilla Check what's happening on the web 1 Browsers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/browsers mac win linux Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite, managed by the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 24.07% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of October 2009, making it the second-most popular browser worldwide, after Internet Explorer, which is the factory default browser on all Windows computers. In 5 months, Firefox has gathered steam and now owns more than 25% of usage share of web browsers closing the gap between it and IE. To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements some current web standards plus a few features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards. Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include Adblock Plus, Video DownloadHelper, NoScript, Personas, FlashGot, and Greasemonkey, along with many others. Firefox runs on various versions of Microsoft Windows (version 3.5 supports Windows Vista and XP; although not officially supported as of November 2009, Firefox is compatible with Windows 7), Mac OS X (10.4 or later officially supported), most Linux distributions, and many other Unix-like operating systems. Its current stable release branch is version 3.5, first released on June 30th, 2009. Firefox's source code is free software, released under a tri-license of GPL/LGPL/MPL. 2009-05-13T12:45:48Z 58986 0 Easily the best video quality on a video streaming site. Really pretty site. And so easy to use. Fantastic the way registered users can download the original video. Some really creative people on there too. I'd like to see more support for Creative Commons on it. Sort of along the lines of what Flickr does. And, as an added bonus, the YouTube commenters aren't there! 20367549 2008-10-09T14:00:37Z 150907 2145-12-14T22:19:37Z Vimeo 12456 2009-11-15T18:19:49Z http://vimeo.com http://wakoopa.com/software/vimeo http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/092/685/normal.png?1246223526 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/092/685/thumb.png?1246223526 35454 Vimeo http://wakoopa.com/developers/vimeo 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Vimeo is a video-centric social network site.

I like the way it adds similarly titled files to the playlist. More codec support would be nice though. VLC's poor video quality across all codecs with the newest release finished it for me. 317789153 2007-05-02T11:42:17Z 980 2018-04-16T12:35:52Z GOM Player 3526 2009-11-26T06:13:06Z http://www.gomplayer.com http://wakoopa.com/software/gom-player http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/143/520/normal.png?1252751557 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/143/520/thumb.png?1252751557 464 Gretech Corp. http://wakoopa.com/developers/gretech-corp Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players win GOM Player (Gretech Online Movie Player) is a media player for Windows.

The game has been built using Valve's Source engine. Left 4 Dead pits four human playable or AI controlled survivors of an apocalyptic pandemic against hordes of aggressive "Infected" in a cinematic backdrop in which the players "star" as each character in a fictional movie (ie. No Mercy.) The Survivors' goal is to help each other make it through various scenarios to safety. The Infected are controlled by an AI that dynamically balances difficulty and mood depending on the players' progress and situation. In an alternate game mode, human players can control up to four mutated Boss Infected with special abilities and cooperate to stop the Survivor players. 2009-04-26T18:39:02Z 55740 0 This is easily the best video editing tool that I've used. I can't say enough nice things about it. I also like that way it integrates with the other Adobe products like Photoshop and After Effects.

So simple to use. Kind of a blessing in disguise that it hasn't been updated in a long time. That means feature creep never had a chance to kick in. It doesn't automatically start encoding. Just make sure that you click on the start button.
