The 32 Totally Essential (and Free) Apps for Every New PC
Posted 02/21/2009 at 06:12:53pm
I am a LONG time advocate of VLC, mainly because i used either Windows XP 32 bit or Vista 32bit, but after recently jumping into the 64 bit Vista world, I wasnt able to find a version of VLC that works on 64 bit. Kantaris video player is based off the VLC code, but much better IMHO. You can install it on 32 or 64 bit, and it has all the same features as VLC, as well as VLCs famous ability to play everything. Its not as dumbed down as the VLC basic skin, but you will get used to it right away. You can get it here http://www.kantaris.org/

Small Packages, Big Promises -- Netbook Review Roundup
Posted 01/06/2009 at 05:44:58am
Why did you not put the Samsung NC10 into this review? This roundup was posted 01/06/2009. The Samsung NC10 was released back around October, this gives you plenty of time to have thoroughly tested and compared it to these other netbooks.
For anyone who reads this article, please know that the Samsung NC10 beats all three of these netbooks hands down. It takes the perks of every single one of these netbooks listed here and combines them to make an outstanding portable computer. I personally own the pearl white version of this netbook, and I can vouch that is can reach 7.5 hours of battery life when websurfing or word processing at half brightness (which is more than enough for most lighting). It gets 6 to 6.25 hours battery life when watching AVI movies on half brightness, and about 4.5 hours on completly maxed out battery mode for best performance. This by far beats anything these netbooks can boast. IF you are looking for a portable laptop to do daily tasks, look no further than the Samsung NC10. 500gb HDs are compatible with it too!
Here are some links to reviews on this netbook. Shame on your Maximum PC for always being behind the technology curve in your reviews!
