It’s always been interesting to watch which open source browser third-parties branch off of when they start offering up their own web surfing app. Up until recently Firefox was the popular choice mostly because it was, well, one of the only viable choices. Now that Google Chrome is on the scene and gaining market share that appears to be changing.

Many of you know Comodo because of their free firewall utility, and some may even be a proponent of their antivirus. Their newest creation, Comodo Dragon, is a Chrome-based web browser that doesn’t add much to the feature set already found in Chrome. I thought that maybe they’d make it interesting by having Comodo Dragon work hand-in-hand with some of their other products, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I wanted to see how this differed from Chrome, and went looking around for details on what “privacy and security enhancements” there actually were. I couldn’t actually find details on the changes they’ve made other than that they have removed the tracking capabilities Google embeds in Chrome. Aside from that all I have to go off of are the bullets they provide:

• Has privacy enhancements that surpass those in Chromium’s technology
• Has Domain Validation technology that identifies and segregates superior SSL certificates from inferior ones
• Stops cookies and other Web spies
• Prevents all Browser download tracking to ensure your privacy

The browser itself feels exactly like Chrome… except for the (much) uglier skin. I guess what intrigued me was not that Comodo is offering a browser, but rather that they chose to go with Chrome as their starting point. I know their are some other spin-offs, such as ChromePlus, but if all Comodo was looking to do was make a branded browser they could have easily gone with Firefox as well. It may not mean much now, but if this turns into a trend we could see it affecting Firefox’s market share… which has already been rather stagnant since the release of Chrome.

I’ve found a lot of great apps thanks to commenters on our site, and credit for this one goes to an anonymous visitor on our article about automatically restarting crashed apps. The program I’m talking about is called Kiwi, and it has some unique monitoring capabilities that aren’t found in many other applications. There are both free and paid versions, but I know that the functionality offered in the free version will appeal to some of you.

Kiwi will monitor any application that you tell it to, and can either report back or take action based on certain events. What do I mean? One good example is that Kiwi can both alert you when an application exceeds a certain amount of memory usage, and if desired it can even close the offending program. That’s just one example of the monitors available in the free version. Here’s a quick list of the other things available:

• You can get alerted when via email:
  • When a program starts
  • When a program ends
  • When it exceeds a specified amount of memory usage
  • When it has been running for a specified amount of time
• You can take the following actions:
  • Close a program after it exceeds a specified amount of memory usage
  • Close a program after it exceeds a specified amount of CPU time
  • Close a program after it has been running for a specified amount of time
  • When a program ends, turn off the computer
  • When a program starts, execute a specified application
  • When a program ends, execute a specified application

The paid version offers a ton of different monitoring options including remaining hard drive space, testing IP/URL availability, checking to see if a file exists, and checking whether an app is inactive or unresponsive. What’s nice is that you can see all of the features that would be available to you by flipping over to the advanced tab. There’s upwards of 75 monitors/actions that you’ll need to upgrade if you want to use them, but that doesn’t detract from the usefulness of the free version.

I can think of a handful of times that I’ve wanted to export a list of all the files from a particular directory so that I could share them with someone else. That kind of task sounds like it should be really easy, but there aren’t too many apps out there that are versatile enough to meet most users’ needs. One that I stumbled across, getFolder, should cover most aspects that you’re looking for in an app like this.

Aside from being both free and portable, getFolder will let you export a list of files and folders to an HTML, XML, TXT, RTF, or CSV file. All of these options mean you can create an ultra-simple list, or get a bit more complex by using a CSV file and opening it up into a spreadsheet app such as Excel.

Looking for more features? getFolder can do basic bulk renaming of files and can filter out results according to criteria you specify. It’s not exactly a ground-breaking program, but since it’s portable I’d say there’s some value in keeping it around for those one-off situations where you need to list out the contents of a folder.

Ubuntu 10.04 To Sport a New Theme
After six years the Ubuntu operating system will be going under the knife, and will come out with a fresh new makeover. They are dropping a lot of the brown that users had come to associate with Ubuntu, and the old design dubbed “Human” is taking a backseat to “Light.” Everything has been revamped from icons to the boot screen, and even the logo has been modernized a bit. Canonical expects the facelift to represent the operating system for years to come.

Firefox Developer Preview Isolates Plugins
Mozilla has posted a preview release of the Gecko platform that forms the basis for apps like Firefox. The preview can isolate plugins like Flash and Silverlight from the rest of the browser. If one of those plugins happens to crash the rest of the browser will be fine. They offer a version of Firefox that can expose this feature, but keep in mind that it is currently not available for Mac users… it will be by the time they are done though.

PasteCopy.NET is one of those free apps that adds some extended clipboard functionality. With it everything you copy gets saved into the application in the format that it was copied, and can be organized into custom categories. Both images and formatting are retained, which is something similar applications don’t always do. You can even go as far as to edit the text that’s being stored, which can then be re-copied to your clipboard.

Still not enough? Rich text (RTF) can quickly be converted to plain text (TXT) so that the formatting is removed. Similarly HTML can be converted to both RTF and TXT.

For me PasteCopy.NET is only missing one thing. I’d love for it to let users search through all of the things they’ve copied so that it can serve as a memory aid as well. Other than that I’d say this is a fantastic app, and is updated regularly.

Reading web comics can really brighten your day, and there is no question that XKCD is one of my personal favorites. Sometimes a quick little comic that takes less than a minute to read can actually put a smile on your face, and the free Windows app called Comical aims to make the most of those minutes.

What makes Comical so awesome is that it not only aggregates all your favorites into one list, but it can also archive them for offline reading. You can specify the interval that you want to check for new comics (or you can do it manually), and a little green icon will appear next to the ones that have new content. A simple double-click on that particular comic will open and save it off to your computer so that they can be viewed even when you aren’t near an Internet connection. It would be even better if it could also download the new comics during an update check, but that might be a feature we’ll see in a future release.

If you don’t mind diving into some XML you can also add your own comics. In the XML you’ll specify the URL of the page that always has the latest comic as well as a simple regular expression that matches the format of the comic’s filename. So you can actually customize this to grab new images from just about any site.

Aside from all that the app is actually rather simple. You can create lists of your favorites so that you can make sure those get read first, and there are some settings you can customize… such as how file archiving, whether you want to be notified if there are updates, and so on. If you’re against all forms of laughter this is a good time to move along, otherwise proceed with the free download.

There’s no telling how long these would be available, and I’d therefore recommend signing up for your free license now. Not only that, but if you ever decide to upgrade to the latest version of the apps you can actually use these to get discounts. Or, we learned with the last O&O “giveaway” that those who are patient will be rewarded. Some users reported getting email offers from O&O to upgrade to the latest Defrag Professional 12 at upwards of 70% off. Not to shabby.

Note: Interestingly the version of DriveLED being given away is the latest.

• O&O Defrag Professional 11 [Free License] [Download]
  Unleash the hidden performance of your computer with the minimum effort. O&O Defrag 11 Professional Edition packs file fragments quickly and securely back together to optimize your hard disk under Windows. Its functionality ranges from a fully automated defragmentation to an individual professional set up. It can do everything a truly good defragmentation software should be able to do. The new background monitoring function helps to prevent fragmentation at source. Newly added and modified files are analyzed and defragmented whenever they are not being accessed. O&O Defrag makes sure that your hard disk is constantly performing at its peak.
• O&O Unerase 2 [Free License] [Download]
  O&O UnErase V2 makes the restoration of deleted data as easy as “a walk in the park”. With the help of a new and one-of-a-kind algorithm, more files can be restored than ever before. Within a matter of seconds, O&O UnErase finds your deleted files and restores them with just the click of a button. The original filename and directory structure are also restored as if nothing had been deleted in the first place.
• O&O CleverCache 6 Pro [Free License] [Download]
  O&O CleverCache 6 Professional is a unique tool that optimizes the File Cache Management for Windows Vista, NT, 2000 and Windows XP. This results in an enormous increase in performance boosting a system’s performance at times to up to twice its original speed. All this is achieved without the need for additional hardware or any reduction in your system’s stability. You simply install O&O CleverCache 6 and you’re ready to go – no need to reboot. It automatically recognizes your configuration, and within 5 minutes you can unlock the hidden resources on your Windows system! The more the file cache grows, the less memory is available for running applications. The result is a significant decrease in performance as requests for memory lead to the so-called “swapping” of memory. This occurs when unused memory segments are paged out to the hard disk’s paging file. Because hard disk access is slow relative to Memory, loss of performance is inevitable. O&O CleverCache 6.0 Professional Edition is optimized to meet the day-to-day needs of individual users. The software is optimized to run on Windows NT4 Workstation, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows Vista and Windows XP Professional.
• O&O SafeErase 2 [Free License] [Download]
  O&O SafeErase V2.0 is THE solution for the secure deletion of sensitive data from your hard disk and offers you the ultimate protection of your private sphere. With just one click of the mouse you can securely and permanently delete files, folders and partitions. The motives for the deletion of files are many. Old e-mail files, internet history, file cache, financial records, company information, and private files ought to be protected from other’s access. The reality, however, is much to the contrary. O&O SafeErase puts a stop to this by not only deleting files, but by annihilating them with the help of recognized and recommended methods. In Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows NT, O&O SafeErase will protect your computer from the unpermissive access of others to your alleged deleted files.
• O&O DriveLED 3 [Free License] [Download]
  The number of mobile computers in use in companies has grown dramatically over the last couple years. Just as dramatic is increase in difficulty of servicing these mobile system that are usually being operated in remote locations. The Achilles heel for any notebook is the hard disk, usually overstressed by the sheer frequency of use in a variety of different environments. With this stress on the hard disk comes the risk of hardware failure, which, until O&O DriveLED 3, was an unpredictable gamble. Monitoring all of the internal hard disks of your system, O&O DriveLED 3 examines its “health”, providing you with information from your hard disk’s read/write access to its current temperature. Should signs of problems appear, O&O DriveLED 3 alerts the user, reducing the chances of a hard disk crash or the loss of precious data.

Ubuntu 10.04 Adds Native iPhone & iPod touch Support
Some forum users are reporting that Ubuntu 10.04, due for release in April, will support both the iPhone and iPod touch out-of-the-box. There is some concern that Apple may try to “break” this compatibility because of what happened with the Palm Pre, but that was a different situation. Palm was trying to make it possible for their customers to use iTunes to sync with the Pre, whereas Ubuntu is bypassing iTunes all together and trying to sync with Apple’s own products. So it would be hard for them to break the compatibility without issuing software updates for the iPhone and/or iPod touch.

I’m always on the lookout for unique apps, and Stick is one of those that is unlike most others. Some may say it’s an application launcher or even a note taker, but it really just comes down to what you decide to use it for.

Stick lets you create tabs along the edge of your screen… as many as you want. They can be placed along any edge, and they snap to the edge of your Taskbar when the two are placed on the same side. What makes these tabs interesting, however, is the functional variety they can serve up:

• Calculator – A basic calculator
• Calendar – A simply formatted monthly or weekly calendar
• Explorer (both files and Internet) – Display the contents of a specific folder or a website
• News Feed – You can combine any number of RSS feeds into a single tab
• Notes – Each note tab is saved to an individual text file on your machine
• TaskBar – View all running applications, and switch between them

My favorites are definitely the “explorer” and “notes” tabs. The explorer tab is nice because you can specify a starting directory, but when expanded it actually behaves like the native Windows Explorer app. It has your standard back/forward buttons, supports IE favorites, and even has drag-and-drop functionality. Yes, you can actually drag a file from your desktop into any folder you can see within the tab. Or you can go even further and drill into directories to find exactly what you’re looking for. If you right-click on an item you’ll also notice that you’ve got the full Explorer context menu at your disposal, which means you can easily extract those pesky files you download.

The notes tabs are really nice because each one gets tied to a text file on your machine. This will especially compliment you nicely if you’re already using a text file for your todo list. It also has some WordPad-style formatting options (bold, italic, alignment, color, etc…). It’s not extravagant, but it’s a great way to keep those frequently used text files just a mouse click away.

In terms of memory usage I’d say it runs pretty light. I added one of every different kind of tab, and it was sitting a hair under 20MB. I can definitely spare that for the quick access this provides to my most used folders and text files.

Modern operating systems are all including advanced search capabilities that make it easy to find files and folders within seconds of whatever you type. They are able to do this by indexing all of the files on your machine as they are created, and store them in a way that makes it incredibly fast to search. This technology has also been brought back to older operating systems like XP through the use of tools like Google Desktop Search or Windows Desktop Search.

As it turns out that’s not the only way to quickly find the files you’re looking for. A freeware app called UltraSearch doesn’t use any sort of index and never runs in the background. Instead it uses the Master File Table (MFT) found on NTFS drive partitions, which Windows uses to store information about all of the files and directories on a computer. In some sense you can look at the MFT as a table of contents for your computer, and UltraSearch is just there to take full advantage of it.

UltraSearch is a no-frills app, and doesn’t really have any advanced search capabilities. You can use wildcard characters, but you can’t restrict results to a particular folder without explicitly typing the path in the search box. You can, however, right-click on any of the results and you’ll get the same context menu that you’d see in Windows Explorer.

The only downside to UltraSearch is that it’s not offered as a portable download. This app just screams portable since there aren’t any settings to configure, but it may be possible to take the EXE from the install directory and use it wherever you’d like (at least my initial tests seem to indicate that doing this works just fine).

The search functionality is fast, really fast. I’d say as fast if not faster than the built-in Vista/Windows 7 search capabilities. So this is no slouch by any means, and works for all NTFS drives on any 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows.
