Hex Editor Professional is a Binary, Hex, Decimal and text file editing tool for Windows with Advanced Search, Replace and Find in Files features. After testing Hex Editor Neo we were very impressed by it’s ease of use and functionality. With Hex Editor Neo you can easily edit your EXE Code, Hex Dumps, AVI, MPEG, or JPEG files.

Hex Editor Neo is much more functional than our review outlines, give Hex Editor a trial run. we highly recommend it.

VisualHub is an easy to use video converter. It converts from almost every video format to iPod, PSP, DV, DVD, Tivo, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG and Flash. It has many extra options like Xgrid encoding and the ability to stitch videos together. You are able to set the video quality on almost every video you export. Converting a video is a simple as dragging the video you want converted into the program, selecting what you want it to be converted to, and hitting "Start".

So as some of you may know, swinkle was going to do a podcast called the swinkle review podcast. But we decided to change that, now the "Swinkle Podcast" will be the Digicore Podcast and Instead of it being here it will be over at: digicorenetworks.com. It will also be a live audio podcast - Thursday and Sunday 4:00 - 5:00 PDT.

Thanks,

Review:

Ad-Aware Pro is a anti-spyware application developed by Lavasoft, a company setting the bar for anti-spyware applications. When you first open up Ad-Aware you notice the easy to use interface that anyone can learn within minutes. But don’t let that make you think Ad-Aware doesn’t pack a punch, virus definitions are updated daily, Ad-Aware features real time protection, virus scans are quick yet effective and virus removal is fast and easy.

Rapid Weaver 4 is a web development application that brings simplicity and advanced feature to the table, when you first open up Rapid Weaver it has a very clean interface with more powerful features built into it. If you are used to using drupal, wordpres or another CMS you will find Rapid Weaver to be very easy to use and easy to expand. Rapid Weaver gives you quick and simple access to edit HTML, add CSS, and Javscript. With Rapid Weaver It pulls content away from design, so you can add new designs to your site without touching your content.

The Ironkey is the most secure USB Flash Drive to date going beyond military and government standards. One thing to note it is that the Ironkey will self destruct if you or someone else enters the wrong password in more than 10 times, this is to prevent brute force attacks. The Ironkey will prompt you though if you hit the limit, if you get to that point take the Ironkey out of your computers USB port and reinsert it then try again. That will prevent it from self destructing. It is water proof far beyond military requirements and is built out of stainless steel.

Screen Mimic is an easy to use screen capturing program. When you start it up you will be brought through a step-by-step process of choosing your recording options. The first step you chose what you want to record-what part of your screen and what audio device you want to use. The second step you get to chose more recording options and the frame rate of your video. The third step you get to chose if you want to have a countdown to when you start your recording or if you just want to start it right off. After recording, you have many choices of how you want to export.

Line Form is an affordable design program, featuring so many functions I don't even think we have tried them all. Line Forms user interface is easy to navigate, although a new user to design programs may find it a bit hard to figure out. After you get over that hump it's great, I've put it through it's paces as a semi-professional graphic designer and It works very well. What I think deserves some attention is that applications like Adobe Photoshop have a lot of features but to be honest there very complicated, but Line Form offers a great array of features and works very well.

Earthbrowser is an google earth like application, but has some features that are very nice. One major difference is it has live weather reports on the 3D globe. It has a web browser built into it and allows you to import and export KML. It’s based on Adobe Air but requires Flash 9, which can be obtained from adobe for free.
