Software Reviews: Counter Strike, Style Master ver. 3.5, PicaLoader and more!

Counter Strike MSN Display Pictures - ver. 1.0

Although Counter Strike games are has-beens (anyone playing them yet?), the game has somehow struck a chord among all online gamers and now the image of the game characters have proliferated in software such as the CS MSN Display Pictures. However, I keep thinking that the characters aren't exactly meant to be "identified", so why bother with the avatars? Again, there are still great fans of the game out there, and I'm sure as hell this package is going to be a hit with them. But we'd be happier MSN Display Pictures had been a lot more creative and put more advanced game characters in the package, such as the X-Men.

Style Master - ver. 3.5

There are already many versions of this software that are out in the markt and being exploited by cascading style sheet programmers. This is a wonderful tool that facilitates web design using a Mac-like interface. Rather ingenious, and at a moderately-priced $60, not a bad investment at all.

Style Master version 3.5 is just one of the many software today that makes even designing with cascading style sheets an easy task. Beginners will be pleased at the way things have been laid for them so they could modify their website the WYSIWYG way, and advanced programmers will find it even easier to put into their websites the designs they had envisioned in their heads. Overall, this is a cool software and a must-have for all CSS programmers.

Advanced StartUp Supervisor - ver. 1.1

For a program that does a lot of things in one package, the Advanced Startup Supervisor is quite powerful. However, because it lacks some rather unique features, it's an average program altogether, missing on some aspects but still makes up for its versatile functions. 

What it does is simply take away the mess in your computer such as spyware or adware that appears in the start-up, while simultaneously letting you control which programs will run. This is a wacky software that automates your start-up applications according to what you put in the list. It also comes with a demo version so check it out!

PicaLoader - ver. 1.4.9

This picture loading software is definitely the mother of all picture loading softwares -- it has advanced features that rock! You can practically leave the job of searching, downloading, organizing, checking for image duplicates, browsing, and a host of other features to its highly advanced functipns. I recommend this to all photographers and digital artists who need heaps of photo downaloads for their projects.

Perhaps my favorite feature is the fact that even if it downloads image files, your computer is secure from virus and destructive scripts that come attached to thes files. Plus, the filters allow only for specific image file attributes to get downloaded, so it ends up as a really organized collection of pics. A high score for this one.

ZoomChat - ver. 4.4.0.1

This software lets you chat with your friends even direct from a website where it's been installed. I can't even count the number of neat stuff you can find in this software: from the separate source and receiver video capability to the ability to work even in firewall and proxies. It runs fast even on dial-up connection!

This software is pretty easy to install, it's free, and it's a small file to begin with. It has advanced features such as face detector and noise silence, among other things, so that it fares well when compared to other video communication programs in the market. Of course, like all free downloads, it may come with its own malware so beware of this.

iNetQuery - ver. 2005

The great concept of this software is that it's useful in most domain hosts website/domain maintencance functions. For instance, all network connections are monitored and if there's any malicious activity going on, this is always denied. It comes with a report of the details of the status of the domain names in the network. Really practicable for domain hosts so they ought to check this out.

If you can see from the screenshot how easy it is to keep track of these domains, then you'll realize how this software is so handy in this type of online procedure. It's also freeware, so rejoice! YOu can try this out to see if it's compatible with your system, otherwise, there's always a choice not to use it.

ECrawl - ver. 2.03

The price of this software is amazing! But if your business thrives in e-mail marketing, this is quite a worthwhile investment because this software virtually collects millions of e-mail addresses in the web for you in a matter of hours. Sure, there are other mail crawling softwares out there that do the same job, but if you were to use ECrawl, you'll save lots of time that would have otherwise been used for sending the e-mails to the millions of recipients.

A word of caution for those who are buying this software -- you become an agent for spamming so it's basically a matter of discrimination on your business' part to employ this. The price of this software speaks for its gargantuan capability; at the same time, you can still avail of the demo version to see how far it will take you.

Volleyball Manager - ver. 2.3.1

Tournaments take time to be planned, organized, and documented. The use of softwaer takes a little of that burden away and allows the tournament managers to do other tasks that are more important for the implementation of these games. Volleyball tourneys are no exception. This software allows the managers to schedule their games to better inform the visitors and participants.

This is not a free software but once it's been purchased it will serve as a great investment that the league managers can use in the future. I'd say this is an ace program at reasonable price.

Netzero for Dial Up Users

I’ve been mulling over the idea of getting me a bloody cheap but fast internet access accelerator. It won’t be exactly made for faster download but it could be a lot less troublesome compared to the real thing. For example, you can buy a premium brand of download accelerator for $35. A simple internet access accelerator can cost only $10. I’m thinking about Netzero ’cause I’ve been hearing about it from friends who are dial-up users.

Netzero Features

Exactly what are we getting from Netzero? Actually, you can get the same speed when surfing with Netzero platinum, and it costs only half the price of the leading brands such as Speedbit. You get a MegaMail feature with 25mb storage capacity. If you are not a Linux user, you’d most probably appreciate Netzero with its popup blocker feature. The Netzero software is free. The best thing I like about this is that I only need to sign up for the service – without asking for credit card information.

Alternative Download Accelerator

Netzero is for dial-up users. If I sign up, I get 10 hours of free internet access. All I really have to do is download the Installer. Clicking it would install the Netzero Hispeed. Now what happens to my downloads? Simply put, Netzero doesn’t equal your regular download accelerator’s potential for high speed downloading. But it’s good alternative, especially for those who could not avail of broadband access in their area. This is the next best thing to quality web surfing and downloading files.
