The “VLC Media Player” plays all video files and supports also MPEG streaming. VLC Media Player is known also under the name of VideoLan Client and plays not just the video files specified, it also plays very good DVDs, Video-CDs, MPEGs and DivX. The best thing from this player is that you don’t need to install any videocodec, it does all the work without bothering you.

Let’s asume you download a big video file from the internet and you don’t know the quality of this video, if you wan’t to know what the quality is, just open what you downloaded till now and see the quality, if the quality is low you will not have to download the whole file for nothing. The player also plays corrupted video files or not complet downloaded files, and it is sometimes necessary to see a video file that has been corupted or not entirely downloaded.

I found a very good game that is free from BMW, the name of the game is “BMW M3 Challenge” . You can drive by night or by day, and the best is you can see the interior of the car. The game has 345 MB and it works on all standard Windows PC’s. The race is having place on the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit!

Here is an description of the game from the BMW website:

“Start the ignition to see just what the V8 high-rev engine is capable of. Shift up through the gears to propel the new BMW M3 Coupé forwards as it constantly pushes the boundaries of driving pleasure even further. Brake as you approach the first bend but keep your steering tight, you don’t want to lose your advantage.
Think you could have performed better? Then try again. Thanks to the BMW M3 Challenge, the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit is all yours. Configure your BMW M3 Coupé using original paint finishes and enjoy the powerful sound of the engine at 8,400 rpm - until you have to brake again that is. ”

The game can be downloaded here : Download BMW M3 Challenge for Windows PC (345 MB)

So which browser is the best one? Is it a taste matter? Maybe.

The best browser for me is Firefox, because of all the plugins you can install on it, it is fast and secure.

Internet explorer has changed in the past, it was a very unsecure browser but techies say that the new IE 7 is better than it’s predecessors, could be, i only use IE for some secure transactions because it doesn’t work with any other browser.

Opera is a good browser, it is fast, has all that you need and you can install plugins too, you also have a “Speed Dial” where you can add 9 of your favorite websites after that you can open them very fast an easy in a new window.

Safari isn’t so good because it’s still in beta and it won’t work with all the websites, sometimes it gives me some errors, i don’t know why, the good thing in Safari is that the websites look very smooth.

Hmm, about Netscape, i haven’t used it a long while now and i don’t know much about it, maybe one of the readers will say something about it.

Let’s start with the download links for the browsers :

1. Firefox 2.0.0.12 for Windows, English (US) (5.7MB)

2. Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2, English (14.7 MB)

3. Opera 9.26 for Windows (6.4 MB)

4. Safari 3.1 for Windows XP or Vista (18.6MB)

5. Netscape Navigator 9 for Windows XP (5.9MB) 

Enjoy Browsing the internet!
