You might fancy 3RVX - a skinnable volume controller (requires .NET).

You could draw it clockwise / counter clockwise. This is a very cool dock, highly customizable. You could setup upto 20 docks, trigger shortcuts with a hotkey and run shortcuts with arguments. You may change the dock formation and even have the taskbar icons displayed. Very cool stuff.

Be careful with Orbit because last time I used it there was adware bundled in.
-SirSmiley (June 01, 2008, 01:42 PM)

Are you sure about that? I checked the content of the .zip file (orbit0350full) and absolutely nada. However, the project is dead but the source code is available for download.

I think this trend started in Japan a couple of years back (like many other weird stuff). Heard about fruit flavoured vinegar beverages but have'nt tried one yet.

Drinking yoghurt is available in North America and Europe, right?

and in Asia, the Middle-East...

Could it be The Quicksilver Radial Menu? Maybe Firefox Pie menu add-on?

Suggest you Google for pie / radial menu to try finding the apps name.

@Curt

This wiki should give you you an idea about software cracking. Now the UD offered for download through your supplied link is a cracked version (read pirated) and the link should be removed.

Even if UD was a decent product, I wouldn't use it because of the GUI, and the infamous NTFS "optimization" trick they charged cash for. Oh, and I'm not that great a fan of product names including the word "ultimate" :)
-f0dder (May 30, 2008, 10:17 PM)

Same here. Also, as a rule of thumb, I never touch products of companies that have a POBox as a contact addres and no telephone number, use marketing tactics for people who were born yesterday etc.

- about the previous version, the one that is now free, well, we all followed the great shootout, didn't we:
UltimateDefrag is probably the closest program yet reviewed to being the "ultimate" defrag software, particularly if you're a power user. It gets a "Thumbs Up" rating in spite of its flaws.

-Curt (May 30, 2008, 04:48 PM)

Well, if choose to quote from a review, you'd better read it through and maybe quote the conclusion. To balance it out, here's another quote:

Unfortunately I will not be using UD because it failed my "torture test" and my "large files" test.

And another one:

My overall impression is that this program is sluggish and vulnerable to giving up when large file are involved.

Oh, and here's the most recent review - UltimateDefrag 2008 Debate: I, which confirms earlier findings.

I merely linked to a fine article. I don't know what else may be going on at rapidlinks.
-Curt (May 30, 2008, 05:32 PM)

All the content of this " fine article" is taken from DiskTrix Website including the images. Badassbaz is distributing a cracked version. You should remove the link.

Thanks Lashiec. I somehow missed that thread. Looked into this further and I must say I could never trust these companies EVER (sorry had to use the Caps Lock  :P).

If you install ZA Free, you are presented with a a pre-checked option to install ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker.

2008-05-31_003359.jpg

You would click next, expecting an extra security feature, would'nt you? But look what you get when you launch your browser

2008-05-31_004258.jpg

Yup, ZoneAlarm SpyBlocker the Ask Toolbar! ZA is tricking users to install the Ask Toolbar.

As for Comodo, the Ask Toolbar is being installed under the guise of the Comodo SafeSurf toolbar. Worse, if you do an upgrade, you won't even have the opt-in option presented to you.  :down:

General Software Discussion / Comodo, Webroot and ZoneLabs bundle Ask Toolbar and Search Assistant
« Last post by PhilB66 on May 30, 2008, 07:34 AM »
I find this odd development... It appears that Comodo, Webroot and ZoneLabs include\bundle as a default (pre-checked) opt-in of the Ask Toolbar and Search Assistant while other security products detect components of this toolbar. Details @ ZA Free/Webroot Products/Comodo/Ask Toolbar

What's your take on this? Would you still consider installing their products?
