Sonar 6

Just like iTunes 7 introduced significant feature additions compared to the previous version, Cakewalk has rolled out some enhancements to their flagship sequencing sofware that Sonar users would definitely appreciate. If you’re a Sonar user and were always wondering when a good time to upgrade was, I’m telling you that NOW is the time!

And from the features I’ve listed below… I’m now escalating my view of the my previous post, from “I want this” to “It will be mine.” – last time I said that was for the T5… hehehe. It will fucking be mine!

I just hope it would be out by the time were in the US (they say it might be released Jan next year pa)

Symantec Brings Complaint Against MS to EU

In one of the comments in my past post, the commenter said I should focus more on tech stuff since blogging about the personal stuff can get quite… uninteresting. Although I don’t really understand what her conception of a “blog” is, I would say it was a personal journal unless specified otherwise. But yes, I do like talking about tech stuff too so how ’bout this post to call it even 😉

Symantec Brings Complaint Against MS to EU

linumax writes “Symantec has made a complaint against Microsoft to EC anti-trust regulators over the software giant’s entry into the security market. The “informal” complaint allows the Commission to consider whether or not an anti-trust case is merited. The Commission is the executive branch of the European Union (EU).” From the article: “The news comes on the day Microsoft announced plans to begin offering business users an integrated anti-virus and anti-spyware product called Microsoft Client Protection. A beta version of this product is expected to be released by year’s end. The company is already offering some customers a beta version of its Windows OneCare consumer security software. At issue is Microsoft’s plan to bundle its security software with Windows Vista, the next major version of the Windows operating system due next year.”

More Apple discoveries

Since my last post about Mac software, I stumbled upon a couple more software that either may add to the list, or completely change some of the items on that post. Since it’s a poin in the arse to keep on editing that same post, I guess I’ll just post along with the new developments.

One is on BitTorrent applications (on which the previous post was already modified). I’ve managed to find two torrent applications that work similar to ABC Torrent for windows: Azureus and Bits on Wheels. I’m using the latter since Azureus on the PC wasn’t quite a popular choice for those who loathe resource hungry apps. So I’m now replacing Tomato Torrent with Bits on Wheels.

Next would be my new replacement for LimeWire: Poisoned – a multi-network P2P app. I’m kinda big on the whole multi-stuff since developers can’t get their standards/protocols straight (this will never go away) so the next best thing is to have a single app that can communicate with everyone rather than dealing with the extra overhead of launching separate apps to do one of each function.

The Poisoned Project’s “Poisoned” is a beautiful, flexible and powerful file sharing application for Mac OS X. Unlike applications like LimeWire or Kazaa that connect to only one file sharing network, Poisoned can connect to several seamlessly. Unlike Kazaa and several other file sharing applications, Poisoned contains no spyware and no adware. In addition, Poisoned, is free and open-source software.

Last would be a decent non-obtrusive way to control iTunes. which the bulk of this post will be discussing.
