1. Mozilla or Google Chrome (without browsing the internet I'd be sick) 2. Vuze (lot of many Gigabytes downloading from torrent sites at once such as advanced games, 3D movies, applications etc) 3. Internet Download Manager (IDM) newest version (for all my click-on-link and on-site downloads and music downloads) 4. Microsoft office (yea, for assignments and research data analysis sometimes) 5. PowerISO (I need to mount any game .iso I downloaded through torrent sites) Got my 1TB external hard disk exhausted with lots of advanced games, 3D movies and applications. |

SimonAndal: It's because you don't use it. It's arguably the best browser out there if you factor the extensions and plugins. Some people will die if there's no firefox! edit: Thank your stars the mod hid my post. You using firefox to browse doesn't count...software testers, IT analysts and programmers won't call it CRAP! |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by Nobody: 3:11pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
wonlasewonimi:_ In the interest of peace, I'll agree to disagree. It's your opinion and you are perfectly entitled to it.....wrong though, it might be. |

If its just for browsing.....firefox is crap |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by Maleeq(m): 4:18pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
femi4: If its just for browsing.....firefox is crapI'd really like to know what's crappy about it? And please, don't start listing the benchmark results put together by people paid to slander competition and/or blow the trumpet in favour of their preference online. @Topic 1. Banshee (Media Player) 2. Firefox 3. VirtualBox 4. OpenOffice 5. qBittorent |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by femi4: 7:27pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Maleeq:it freezes with opening of many tabs. Chrome doesn't behave like that Always requesting to add one plug in or the other when accessing some website. Infact, its quite heavy when compared to chrome |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by spikesC(m): 7:37pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
femi4: it freezes with opening of many tabs. Chrome doesn't behave like that brother, you don't know what is wrong with your browser...shikena You should just ask questions and you would be clarified Chrome freezes more than firefox in the same environment because of how chrome was developed. And you notice the freezes because of your ram, pls upgrade. The only plugin, which is normal, to be asked is a flash player plugin and that is because most browsers doesn't come with it. Yes, firefox is heavy (if i even understand your own definition of heavy) and that is what it was built as. If you use firefox like me, then you'll know what is heaviness. |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by Kslib(m): 2:55pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
Pls guys,what other video player is better than vlc.. I dont know why the .avi movies i downloaded from my mobile phone and transferred to my system are not very clear.. I tried adjusting the vlc settings,but still the picture quality is poor,but when i pplay via my phone,it's very clear... Is it cos it aint torrent or cos i transferred it from my phone to system or it just has to do with the .avi extension or what??... |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by ITbomb(m): 4:48pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
Kslib: Pls guys,what other video player is better than vlc.. I dont know why the .avi movies i downloaded from my mobile phone and transferred to my system are not very clear..Are you sure you didn't download the scale down mobile version for screen size 320x240 or similar. The pixels may fit perfectly on the mobile screen but stretched and blurred on a wider screen. |

ITbomb: I installed YZExplorer from giveawayoftheday.com yesterday and was very impressed , y can't microsoft buy a company like this and replace the useless window explorer XYplorer you mean? Anyway, that's what I'm using and it's far better than windows explorer. Xplorer2 Pro is also very good. |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by ITbomb(m): 5:15pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
semid4lyfe:Correct , XYplorer, The only small downside is that the very first start takes like 5 sec longer than Window explorer |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by semid4lyfe(m): 5:49pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
ITbomb: Didn't notice, I dare say it was even faster than Windows Explorer first time I ran it. Are you using the trial version or the full PRO version? |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by ITbomb(m): 6:46pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
semid4lyfe:Pro version |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by semid4lyfe(m): 7:34pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
Same here. What's your OS. . .Windows 7 or 8? |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by Kslib(m): 7:58pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
ITbomb:Exactly... I tried reducing the zooming but the least zoom was still stretched.. Now i know the problem, I downloaded the movie from movies mobiles.net via phone.. But i have one question though.. Why do torrent files like movies stretch to 700mb or 500mb etc when you try downloading movies via laptop instead of the normal 12smting or 100mb. Cos it seems the best way to get my movies fit my vlc,is to use utorrent to download them.. And considering the nigerian situation where ordinary 500mb is valued like blood,i think i will just stick to watching on my phone... Am new into dis stuffs cos i bought my system just recently,you can still explain to me better thanks.. |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by ITbomb(m): 10:08pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
semid4lyfe: Same here.Well erm . . . . Vista. Don't you dare tell me that is the problem cos I'm using version 11.9 Pro |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by ITbomb(m): 10:17pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
Kslib:Now u know the problem. A normal full screen 60mins + movie is minimum of 500mb depending on the codec use in compressing and saving it while mobile format is roughly 1mins to 1mb but the higher the quality and sound channel , the larger the mb. So what u have in ur phone are mobile versions of the movie fitted for a small screen. Google 'what is pixel' . |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by Kslib(m): 10:33pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
ITbomb:Of course,i know what pixel is nah?? Thanks anyway.. |

It's 2013 and you're using Vista, not even Windows 7 Well, apps run better/faster on Windows 7 and even "better-er" on Windows 8. |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by ITbomb(m): 8:41am On Jan 19, 2013 |
semid4lyfe: It's 2013 and you're using Vista, not even Windows 7I knew that is what you would say and it is true of course but I'm stuck with my Vista. I have very important applications mostly industry based which I got during training programs and can only be replaced at great cost. I just can't risk an upgrade in case some programs do not work again. What I need is a second lappy preferably Window 8, as for this one, it is just too loaded and stable for any experimental upgrade |
Re: The Five Most Important Applications On Your PC by denzel2009: 9:41am On Jan 19, 2013 |
ITbomb: Just run a windows 7 upgrade advisor, it would highlight applications that are compatible with win 7 on your computer...you just might be lucky. |
