SageThumbs 2.0.0.8

Converting images has evolved all these years from difficult to configure programs to light applications that come with settings preconfigured for the needs of the average user. With SageThumbs you get not only ease of use, but also a phenomenal range of supported input formats.  I was hoping for a brief installation process, but the entire procedure is old-school. This does not mean that it is complicated or it takes too long, as you only have to go through a small set of screens. SageThumbs has no application window to input the image files, because you don’t really need it. The program installs as an extension to Windows Explorer and you can find it in the context menu of every picture you hold on the system. And when I say every picture, I really mean it, since the list encompasses...

Scrambled Egg 0.4

Despite its suggestive name, judging solely by its moniker Scrambled Eggs is not evident of its purpose. The Internet does not run short of solutions, both paid and freebies, when it comes to sending off encrypted messages. This application, however, falls into the second category and has been designed to help you encode text messages simply and effortlessly.  No installation is needed to run the program and start encrypting your messages. The interface is available as soon as you unpack and double click the executable file in Scrambled Egg’s folder. Looks are far from impressive, but the layout is easy to understand and all options are handled without difficulty.

AMD DDR3 Radeon RAM Are Just a Test

When Advanced Micro Devices was found to have developed branded random access memory, questions immediately arose on whether it had serious intentions, and the answer might have come at last. Advanced Micro Devices used to be known for its x86 central processing units, until it bought ATI and also became a power on the graphics market. The Sunnyvale, California-based company proceeded to refining its various products and even combined CPUs with GPUs, creating the Fusion chips, although, admittedly, bringing them to market took quite a few years. In the meanwhile, it has maintained a comparatively small DRAM business on the side, one that never really got any attention, until recently that is. AMD has been supplying its add-in-board partners...
