ReviewSaurus – Technology Rocks!

Well, I wonder that if the team at Zoho ever sleeps ? Few days back they had released a major release and now they’ve come up with another major step and have released the mobile version of Zoho writer and that too with the support of Google gears and thus allowing you to access your documents even when you are offline.

I tried accessing it using Opera simulator, however it detects it as a laptop/desktop. I’m going to try it out with Windows Mobile Emulator and lets see how it performs (in the upcoming post, I’ll let you know how to run Windows Mobile emulator).

It’s quite interesting to see that Google Docs still doesn’t support offline version through Google Gears and well, how can you expect the mobile version supporting it, when it doesn’t have the facility on the desktop version.

Web browser was a problem (don’t ask me which problem, we all know it) which was solved by Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird is loved by most of the people who are troubled by Spam. Pidgin is awesome when it comes to multi-IM software and GIMP is loved by the graphics designers who can’t afford Photoshop, including Sumesh who writes about it regularly.

All these programs are powered by Open-Source. All the bloggers (including me) praise the efforts put in by millions of developers around the world to develop some great piece of software! And now, I’m quite missing the community, where it’s required the most! where is open-source community ?

We need a pro internet security software which can be a tough competition to all those companies which are taking huge amount of information from us like information about viruses, spyware etc. and still charge us for providing the security software.

Ok, we’ll have some people saying we have ClamWin AV as one of the security program which can fight against viruses! Right you are! It perfectly serves the purpose on that machine of mine, which I don’t bring online and doesn’t have any floppy drive, USB ports and yeah no CD/DVD drives too!

AVG has recently released the all new internet security and now hits the version 8 with this new release. I’ll now write down my experience with AVG Internet Security 8. Lets see how this new release fairs :

Installation : AVG internet security 8 is around 59 Mb large in size and the installation was fairly simple. They ask you if you would like to make Yahoo! as the default search provider and allows you install the AVG toolbar a new feature, which we’ll discuss further.
