Orzeszek Ratings is a utility to sync ratings and play counts between Windows Media Player and iTunes. If you use both Windows Media Player and iTunes to manage your music collection on one computer, Orzeszek Ratings allows you to sync the ratings and play counts between the two applications.

Orzeszek Ratings will only sync the ratings and play counts between files that are in both your Windows Media Player library and your iTunes library. That means that ratings and play counts for any files that are converted when they’re added to your library (like WMA files added to iTunes) won’t be synced, since your Windows Media Player library and iTunes library are no longer referring to the same file. And, since Windows Media Player has no support for half-star ratings, half-star ratings are rounded up to the nearest full star when you sync ratings from iTunes to Windows Media Player.

Microsoft has released a stopgap fix to help Windows users protect themselves against threats that may try to target a newly discovered, critical security hole that is present in every supported version of Windows.

Last week, KrebsOnSecurity.com reported that security researchers in Belarus had found a sophisticated strain of malware that was exploiting a previously unknown flaw in the way Windows handles shortcut files. Experts determined that the malware exploiting the vulnerability was being used to attack computers that interact with networks responsible for controlling the operations of large, distributed and very sensitive systems, such as manufacturing and power plants.

When Microsoft initially released an advisory acknowledging the security hole last week, it said customers could disable the vulnerable component by editing the Windows registry. For instance, most Windows users are familiar with these icons: Further reading: Siemens: German Customer Hit by Industrial Worm. Soluto Figures Out What’s Bogging Down Your PC (And Tells You How To Fix It) They say a car loses half its value the minute you drive it off the lot. The same can often seem true of a brand new computer — after that lightning-quick first boot or two, PCs have the nasty habit of gradually bogging down until that new quad core processor doesn’t seem much faster than the last one you had. Enter TC Disrupt finalist Soluto, a startup that’s looking to help restore your computer to its former glory. And better yet, it’s going to hold those bloated, CPU hogging applications accountable. Soluto has developed software that monitors your PC for things that are likely to annoy users — printing problems, crashy apps, resource hogs, and those frustrating applications that randomly cause your mouse to become useless for a few seconds at a time.

It records which applications were running at the time of the hiccup, and analyzes low-level events to track things users aren’t even aware of, like which applications are competing for memory. To monetize, Soluto has a few options. UNLOCKER 1.8.9 BY CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB. Digital Media Collections Kit « Integriography: A Journal of Broken Locks, Ethics, and Computer Forensics. Overview Collecting evidence accurately is clearly a foundational element for any ediscovery or forensics analysis project. The equipment required is important, but so are the supporting items – office supplies, forms, and documentation tools. – as well as the processes and procedures governing how they are applied.

And if you cannot find the items, or get them to the destination, it doesn’t matter how great your tools are. This kit, and the thoughts and processes behind it, attempts to address concerns I’ve encountered while doing collections all over the world. The novice investigator or experienced examiner can use this as a foundation for their own kit, or just find insight to fine tune their existing processes. Bear in mind that, in addition to this kit, I carry a laptop backpack everywhere.

Download Photo Magician 1.0.0.0 - Possibly the fastest batch image / photo converter around.

Photo Magician is a tool that allows you to easily rescale images of various formats, including BMP, JPG and PNG. The user interface of the program is clean and intuitive. You can input a folder of images and specify an output destination. The 'drag and drop' method is not supported, but batch rescaling is. Thus, you can configure conversion settings (e.g. include subfolders, overwrite originals, turn off image preview) and add special effects (e.g. sepia, negative, grayscale, rotate, flip). You can also select a profile (e.g. maintain original size, percentage, custom width and height) to scale images, as well as use command-line parameters (an explanatory document can be found here) and check for online updates.

During the conversion you can view the total successful and skipped files, as well as elapsed time. The program uses a moderate amount of system resources and manages to successfully complete tasks without freezing, crashing or popping up errors.
