Gxine Media Player: Just Press Play
,----[ Quote ]
| The world of open source software has lots
| of options for editing and manipulating
| audio and video media files. However, when
| you want to just sit back and watch, Gxine
| will get the job done, usually with minimal
| fuss. Don't look to the app for a built-in
| help file, though -- if you need to work out
| a problem with this community-supported
| project, a little online leg work will be in
| order.

Snazzy Zaz is one fun puzzler
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâre tired of the same old âmatch
| threeâ games, we have a fun alternative for
| you. In Zaz, you control a vehicle or a
| grabber on a predefined path, and by
| dragging and dropping you arrange different
| colored balls in triplets to make them
| explode and disappear. The game can be
| played in sequential mode, where the player
| proceeds through one level after another, or
| survival mode, where the battle is fought on
| a single level with more and more different
| balls appearing over time and the game
| speeding up until the player can no longer
| handle the pressure.

Words to live by
,----[ Quote ]
| I only have a few minutes this evening, so
| rather than share something of my own
| creation, I shall borrow the words of
| BoneKracker, who had this to say when
| discussing a preference for the command line
| over a file manager.
|
| (File managers) just get in the way and
| slow you down. Itâs like having somebody
| holding a map in front of your face when
| youâre trying to drive.

Crebs: The ULTIMATE Wallpaper Slideshow application
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago we blogged about a simple
| wallpaper slideshow generator called,
| somewhat un-surprisingly, âwallpaper
| slideshowâ.
|
| Wellâ forget that application as the
| following wallpaper slideshow maker is
| easily more capable, configurable and darn-
| right cool.

Why Can't We All Use Chromium Instead of Google Chrome?
,----[ Quote ]
| This is something I always asked myself. How
| is Google Chrome different from Chromium.
| Apart from the logo, there is hardly any
| difference visually between the two. So I
| decided to dig further. Here are some of the
| interesting facts you should know.

LightZone review
,----[ Quote ]
| LightZone has come a long way from its
| previous versions and is probably the finest
| option Linux users have for photo editing.
| Extremely useful features include the
| Regions and Zones support. Itâs great value
| for money, although those familiar with
| Photoshop or Aperture might find it lacking
| in terms of usability and power features.

More cool gnome-shell tips and tricks
,----[ Quote ]
| If you have been reading Ghacks within the
| last month, you know that I have become a big
| fan of what will eventually become GNOME 3.
| That replacement is currently under the title
| GNOME Shell and it is already quite a stunning
| piece of work. I have covered GNOME Shell in a
| few pieces here (Check out all the GNOME Shell
| content on Ghacks) and, after further usage, I
| thought it was a good time for a few more tips
| and tricks.

I have seen the future, and it is GNOME 3
,----[ Quote ]
| GNOME 3 is different. Very different. Gone
| is the start button, to be replaced by the
| Activities button. No more are you
| fumbling around in menus to find what you
| need. What you will have is a very
| streamlined, sleek, and sexy desktop that
| is sure to make your computing life
| easier. Oh of course there will be those
| that say âIf it isnât brokeââ Well, I am
| one of those who will first claim that it
| is, in fact, âbrokeâ. The current desktop
| that most everyone uses is klunky, kludgy,
| and ugly. Itâs a task bar, and menus, and
| icons, and blah blah blahâthereâs no
| âApple factorâ. What do I mean by âApple
| factorâ? Simple - there is very little
| energy given to aesthetics. And believe me
| in the current incarnation of the modern,
| capitalist society - it is all about form
| over function. You have to look good
| before you can be good.
