Make perfect copies of all your disks
DVD and CD disks became a part of our lifestyle, most of us have a significant collection of movies, audio CDs, photos, games, office documents and other disks. And it’s very often that you need to make a copy of that disks, for backup purposes or simply to make a couple of copies of your wedding video for your friends. There are many programs that can copy your DVD movies, but very few of those which can copy all your disks, both CD and DVD.

Here we’ll test a program called Clone My DVD, which claims copying any kind of DVD and CD disks. “Clone My DVD - a universal DVD and CD copier” is what we see on product’s website, and we’d like to check is it really can copy any kind of disk?

Installation takes several seconds, the program is designed as a classic step-by-step wizard, it looks slick and clear. Choose disk to copy, it’s a DVD movie now, and press “Next” button to go further. We’ve got two DVD drives on our test computer so the program asks do we want to copy directly from drive to drive? Yes we do! Press “Next” again and it started to copy. By default it makes one copy, but you can set number of copies as you like.

Come again, now with an audio CD. Clone My DVD does the job perfectly, we’ve got exactly the same CD, no quality loss at all! We did the same with a couple of game CDs, CD with photos, MP3 music DVD, another DVD movie, and one more DVD movie. All attempts were successfull, no hassles.

Then we tested how it works with a single CD/DVD drive. First it copies from disk to computer, then asks to insert a blank disk and writes a copy. It takes additional time, but the result is also perfect.

What we also noticed is Clone My DVD doesn’t reduce the quality of DVD movies and audio CDs, which is good. In fact, you get a true copy, exactly the same as original. Clone My DVD is really able to copy any CDs and DVDs, and it doesn’t matter what disk is in your drive, you get a proper copy with Clone My DVD anyway. We succesfully copied over ten disks, both CD and DVD, which contained video, MP3 music, CD audio tracks, photos, documents, free software and other stuff. It successfully recognizes various CDR/RW, DVD+/-R/RW disks and double-layer DVD movies.

There is only one feature missed in Clone My DVD. Regrettably it cannot encode 9Gb double-layer DVD to the 4.7Gb single layer, so those who’re looking for this feature will be frustrated. But anyway Clone My DVD is still one of the best copying software we ever seen.

Free trial version allows you to copy up to three whole disks, the only limitation is copying protected DVD movies, which is available only in full version. Free download from http://www.clonemydvdmovies.com/clonemydvd11.exe

Conclusion

Clone My DVD is awesome, it can make a copy of all DVD and CD disks, even those are region-protected. You just insert a disk, press couple of buttons and get a carbon copy. It can copy to blank disk, make multiple copies if you want, and it allows to copy directly from drive to drive. All these functions are wrapped into a very clear and simple nterface, not overloaded with too many buttons and menus. If you’re looking for all-in-one disk copier try Clone My DVD, which is like a swiss knife - easy to handle and universal at the same time.

Almeza MultiSet - Leader in Unattended Installation Windows and Software!

Interview for the Krasny Software computer magazine:

The Almeza Company has developed several quite interesting programs. Its flagship product is the automatic Windows and software installer - Almeza MultiSet. That’s what we will talk about. Ivan Abramovsky, the CEO of the Almeza Company, answers the questions.

Q: What tasks does your program solve?

A: First of all, Almeza MultiSet has been developed to solve the task of the automatic installation of Windows together with a set of necessary software. MultiSet can create a bootable installation disk that automatically installs Windows, service packs, necessary drivers and any other software (video codecs, file managers, players… anything) plus it can configure all software and tune Windows (all custom settings in the operating system)

Q: What are the main features of the program?

A: 1) Automatic Windows installation
2) Automatic installation of any software
3) Creating a bootable disk for automatic Windows and software installation
4) Automatically restoring software settings and tuning Windows
5) Remote automatic installation. For example, it is possible to automatically install software via the local area network. We should also mention the features of the program that won it users’ admiration:
- Convenient Wizards. Automatic installation disks are created with the help of convenient wizards.
- Ease of use. The program does not require any special knowledge (i.e. it has no special script language, complicated settings), everything is as easy as possible.
- Processing all installation procedures correctly: restarting the computer during automatic installation, entering registration keys, entering usernames and other parameters; processing nonstandard exception situations in an adequate manner.

Q: And what unique features does the program have?

A: - Ease of creating an automatic installation disk. Minimum time is required to get the disk ready.
- Unique algorithm. The unique algorithm makes automatic installation as fast as possible.
- Creating the automatic Windows installation disk and installing service packs, drivers, registry keys and any other software right after that. It is also possible to enable automatic configuration for software and Windows.

Q: What benefits do your users get?

A: First of all, some statistics. Let’s calculate: Windows installation + driver installation + service packs + necessary software + restoring old software settings + general OS configuration - on average, an experienced system administrator spends more than 200 hours a year on all that (25 8-hour business days); a regular user spends more than 90 hours a year (11 8-hour business days). Almeza MultiSet needs not more than 45 minutes to install Windows and necessary software. At the same time, human attendance is not required because installation is fully automatic. All in all, Almeza MultiSet will save more than 20 business days a year for a system administrator and more than 11 days a year for a regular user.

Second, Almeza MultiSet creates bootable disks for the automatic installation of Windows and a set of necessary software, drivers, service packs. This disk can be used to reanimate the computer. MultiSet is a turnkey solution = insert the disk and the new operating system, drivers, service packs and any other necessary software will be installed on the computer and you can configure the operating system and the software at once.

And third, Almeza MultiSet restores the system without losing the current data! Unlike in case of cloning image disks.

Q: Who are your customers, what is the target group of your product?

A: Our users are people who value and save their time, people who are used to giving routine work to computers. By automating the process of restoring and configuring the computer, MultiSet helps our customers save time. Mostly, our customers are:
- administrators (system administrator, network administrators)
- computer first aid services
- customer technical support services
- individual users
- educational institutions (schools, colleges, universities)
- companies possessing a large number of computers.

Q: How is the product doing at the moment?

A: Currently, thousands of people use Almeza MultiSet in more than 60 countries: the USA, Canada, Russia, the Netherlands, Austria, Argentine, Belgium, Turkey, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Germany, Switzerland, Jordan… The product is being constantly developed and improved, we extensively cooperate with our users and it allows us to know their needs. At the moment we are working on the next version of the program where we will implement new features and fix existing drawbacks.

See The Meaning Of Words By Simply Moving Your Mouse. No Clicks Required!
Do you frequently browse Web pages in foreign languages? Do you often work with documents written by your German or Russian counterparts? Are you reading product documentation in a foreign language? What do you do if you bump into an unknown word, or if the meaning of a sentence is not clear? If you are like most of us, you probably have some sort of a dictionary. You know, some kind of a paper book, and you have to open the book and go through page after page to find the word you are looking for. That sounds slow, and too slow for the modern age of e-books and digital everything. Having an old-fashioned paper dictionary is fun, but using it is a real waste of time compared to modern electronic counterparts. So what can you do if you encounter a word you don’t know? Typically, you’d select a word with a mouse, copy it into the clipboard, launch your electronic dictionary, and paste the word from the clipboard. Is this really any better than using the paper version? Research in the human computer interface is not standing still. The latest development allows using your mouse to see the meaning of words, with no clicks required. Would you find it convenient if you’d only have to pass your mouse over a word or phrase, and see its translation in an instant in a familiar tooltip-style pop-up? An informal survey among frequent e-book readers has shown that for many readers this revolutionary technology of getting fast references was a decision-making factor on whether or not they would read an e-book in a foreign language! The only translation product that has this technology is TranslateIt! It can be obtained at: http://www.GetTranslateIt.com. With TranslateIt!, you can see the translation of words and common phrases by simply moving the mouse over the text. Unique to TranslateIt!, you can use this cool feature in virtually any Windows application. TranslateIt! will help you browse pages in your favorite Web browser, work with Microsoft Office documents, chat in messengers, and even translate windows captions, button and menu labels. Once you install TranslateIt!, you will never want to go back to paper-based or old-fashioned electronic dictionaries. It is so easy and efficient that many users report that they were able to read large documents in foreign languages with almost no knowledge of the language itself! If you are working with documents or applications in Russian or German, or if you are learning the language, or if you just want to chat with a German or Russian speaking friend on ICQ, TranslateIt! is just perfect for you. Save time and improve productivity by removing the language barrier with TranslateIt! Get your free evaluation copy now at: http://www.GetTranslateIt.com

Let’s say, for example, you are a news editor. Someone gives you a call and tells you about some interesting accident that you consider worthy of publishing in your edition. Instead of writing the news on some scrap of paper, you can wake up Exstora and type in the news there. Then you can easily retrieve it from the computer, which is much better than trying to find the piece of paper in the pile of similar-looking papers on the desk or hunting for the txt file on the hard drive. All the information is kept in one place and organized in categories. The notes can even be taken with you on a USB-stick and opened on other computers. Also, the program has a synchronization facility that will keep the information located in two or more different places in sync. One more merit of the program is that it’s slim and weighs only 470 Kb. That means you will download it in less than a minute. Have a try now and change your note-taking habits for better! Other people already tried it and here’s what they say about Exstora. “Congrats for the sleek, no-nonsense, intelligent and stylish app. It’s the most user-friendly I could find in 5 hours of Internet search!” “Congratulations on your great, usefully simple and on top of it elegant tool. It really helps without presenting nuisances.” “I love the product - so simple but effective - and was amazed by the prompt support.”

A Desk on Top
How many application windows do you have open during your typical computer work? If it’s just one, you may stop reading at this point. If, however, you do have a clutter of windows on your computer desktop - go no further, you’ve just found the solution! Windows offers a convenient way to access applications and documents you use often by placing shortcuts to your computer desktop. These shortcuts are fast to click, but what if you have a window or two on top of your desktop? Minimizing or moving around an active window to access your desktop may seem a good solution for a while, but what if you work with more than just one or two applications? Those shortcut icons are covered well enough to make you spend a while to minimize or move away every window that blocks desktop access. OK, maybe desktop shortcuts are not that great an idea after all. Let’s open that same shortcut from the Windows Start menu! Click Start, select All Programs, and locate the application you were looking for. Slow, isn’t it? I told you. Wait, here’s the Show Desktop button! Let’s click it! Great, you can see the desktop and start your shortcut. Fast? Yeah! But hey, where are your windows? Those multiple applications you were using for work? They’re minimized. Let’s try the Desktop button once again… nope. It minimized the window you’ve just opened. It only worked until you actually started the shortcut. To restore your other windows, see the beginning of this article - minimize, minimize, minimize, and restore, restore, restore. Slow and boring. DESKonTOP by http://www.shuric.com/deskontop.shtml finally solves the puzzle. To launch a shortcut from your desktop simply click DESKonTOP icon near the system clock, and you’ll see a small copy of your desktop with all shortcuts and icons. You can easily launch a shortcut from there, and that’s it! No need to minimize or move windows around. No need for Start menu exploration. No playing hide-and-seek with your windows. All it takes is one click on DESKonTOP icon, and one more click to launch a shortcut! Once the mouse cursor is over an icon, DESKonTOP will enlarge it to show you the full-size version of the icon and its text label, allowing you to clearly see and click the shortcut without training your sniper skills. Still find it difficult to use the small icons on the reduced copy of your desktop? No problem! DESKonTOP is readily customizable, allowing you to fine-tune the appearance of the mini-desktop the way you like it. Larger icons or text labels? Distinctive background? Small copy of your real desktop? All that and much more is possible with DESKonTOP. If you don’t like a mini-desktop, consider switching to menu mode, and DESKonTOP will display all your desktop shortcuts as menu items. Save time and remove window clutter with DESKonTOP.

Find A Missing Link in Game Evolution with Massive Assault Network 2
Turn-based strategy games on a computer are like chimpanzees. In the evolution of gaming, they’re just one step more advanced than the classic strategy board games that are their predecessors. In many cases, thanks to uninspired implementation, the advantages of having these games on the computer are often debatable. Real Time Strategy (RTS) games, however, are inconceivable without the use of computers. The evolutionary gap between present-day RTS games and the typical turn-based game is so wide that some might think there’s a missing link, just like some perceive a missing link between chimps and man. That game that fills in the gap is called Massive Assault Network 2 (MAN 2). The number one feature of this game is on-line AI opponents. Just imagine how two rather sexy ladies seduce you to spend time with them in order to experience the unforgettable hardcore action. These flirtatious girls are always ready for online battle with players thus offering effective training for all naive users. Want to see them now? Visit http://www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/man2/p/art09.jpg The next thing is that there are various countries that need to be defended or conquered, and it’s up to you to decide on what to do. The beauty of it all is that the gameplay is so easy to get accustomed to that even rookie to the turn-based strategy games can easily figure out what’s going on. Finding someone to combat is incredibly easy thanks to the excellent interface. All you have to is pick the skill level of the opponent you want, the turn limit, and then you’ll have an opponent in a short amount of time. Or, if you’d like, you can just browse through the people who are looking for an opponent, or you can simply find someone in the chat-room. Massive Assault Network 2 is definitely one of the best looking games in the genre. There are currently twenty five planets to play on, each offering a different visual theme and style of play. Wasserland, for example, offers large scale naval combat opportunities, while The Station Thunder focuses on quick, land-based battles. Each 3D map contains subtle, graphical details: palm trees sway in the breeze, waves wash up on shore. If you’re new to turn-based games, you don’t need to wait - just get online, download the free demo of Massive Assault Network 2 at http://www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/download/man2demo.exe and see everything for yourself. If you’re a fan of playing turn-based games against other people, then get this title that definitely worthy of your attention!

Computer Monitoring Software - is it ethical?
Computer monitoring software is used to spy on a person’s internet activities. There are software programs nowadays that can track everything a person does on the computer -
record instant message conversations, log emails sent and received, record all visited websites, so on and so on. The programs can be hidden from the unsuspecting user, and they usually have no idea
they are being monitored. Only the person who installed it, and is doing the monitoring, will know where it is, and how to access all the devious activity, if there is any.

There are three primary uses for computer monitoring software . To monitor your child’s internet activity, spy on your spouse or partner, or track your employees activities at the workplace (if you own a business). Is it ethical? In most cases I believe it is, in others there is a gray area.

In the case of monitoring our children, I do believe we as parents have every right to know what they are up to. The internet can be a very dangerous place for kids, and has become a haven for sexual predators. How do you think your teen would react if they found out you were watching them? They would probably go ballistic on you for betraying their trust.

I would suggest just telling them that you will be keeping an eye on their activities, and explain why. You do not have to tell them you are using spy software, just one warning to tell them you know what’s going on, should suffice. It’s our duty to protect our kids and ensure their safety in any way we can. Just give them a warning that you will be watching and set limits on their internet use. Make their working computer in the living room or den, a computer in their bedroom is asking for trouble. Even when your not at home, you can view their activities from a remote computer, if your working or on vacation. You can even see what they are doing remotely from another computer in the house you have access to.

Catching the cheating spouse. This is where it can get dangerous. I had once caught my exgirlfriend exchanging rather erotic emails with some guy over the web. Sure enough, she was having an affair. She had forgotten to log off her yahoo email account, and when I was checking my yahoo email, she was still logged on.

You can imagine I felt hurt and betrayed. This ultimately led to our break up, because she started dating the guy. I just think how would I feel if she was the one spying on me? I would feel very betrayed that she did not trust me. However, there is something inside all of us, that just has to know the truth. If you use computer monitoring on your spouse or partner, be careful your not caught. If your more computer savvy than them, most likely they will not know. If you are the faithful one, you certainly have a right to know.

Employees at the workplace. You want to make sure your employees are actually working and not goofing off at their workstations. With computer monitoring software, you can monitor multiple workstations at once. Is it ethical? Well, only the employees who have something to hide would say no. You are trying to run a business, paying workers , you run the show. You have every right to know where your hard earned money is going. I would personally just let them know upon hiring, that all workstations are monitored for productivity.
