As I have written before about serif web plus X2 and how scummy it is so history repeats its self with this software is well. at school it is not used as much but is used as a primary software for animation. My old I.T. teacher told me to use it I hope he told me to use it the=n because flash would be too complicated for me but still. this nasty so called "software" claims to be outstanding for its graphic drawings- what a load of rubbish brush strokes don't look as good as most of us probably expected you cannot have a grey scale tool colour cubes are gone and there is no Gradient! that's ridiculous anyone knows that any professional design now days have gradients any professional knows that.

Animations- crap there is nothing worse the frames are not smooth you cannot have like in flash a motion tween that saves you about 45% of your time in producing your project. if you want a nice drawing look like live objects designs use illustrator if you want animations use flash. I refuse to talk more about this scum of the soft wares but google it test it and I'm sure you'll see my point. I rate it as 2/10 one of the worst graphics studios of the year.

I thought it is about time to review a mobile phone so here it is the new Meizu mobile phone for which we have been expecting for a long time now. Unfortunately it has not been announced to the public yet. The phone I must say has a very nice touch screen, very sensitive, multiple touch resizeble screen so you can move things about with 2 or 3 fingers at the same time when you resize the photo for example. The touch screen its self is very smooth indeed. It has a 3.5 Mega pixel camera which is at a very good quality.

The screen i must say it is very nice also it is a cool design I have to give them that. The media player though its crap, I am very disappointed the resizing is rubbish also. It took them 2 years to develop this phone and I am not at all impressed with the media player. The games are very nice just like with an iPhone you can tilt. It has a loud speaker with an awesome quality sound I will have to give them that. The phone is principled with windows 6 it is the best interface phone I have seen so far.I recommend it highly lets just hope that it will soon come out with multiple improvements including the media player. So far I cannot rate it as I believe the M8 is not finished yet so we'll have to wait for it till comes out fully with all of its features. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.

So I thought that today I should write about some anti viruses so the best antivirus that came into my mind was not Norton 360, not McAffe, but Avast 4.7. I think that it is by far the best antivirus there is on current retail market. Avast comes from Czech security vendor company calle Alwil. Which has quietly been producing the avast products for many years. Avast comes with 2 editions, Home Edition and Professional edition; to be honest both are excellent at the job they do.

What I personalty think makes Avast special is unlike other viruses e.g. Norton 360 doesn't slow down your PC's performance, but however avast lacks some useful tools like antirootkit protection, antispyware, and antiphishing protection. Still avast has pretty cool features like P2P and IM shields for blocking viruses transmitted other than through infected Web sites and e-mails. One of my favourite features is Virus Recovery Database (VRDB), which captures information about the current state of a given file and saves that information. That way, if your system gets attacked with a virus, Avast can go back to the infected file to a version that it's saved- the one that is not infected. Avast is amazing as it is very efficient in protecting your files really well so there would be practically no chance of virus infections. About Malware- Well I think Avast does its best job at finding the annoying think and kill it before it does anything crap.

I was pretty much stunned by what avast has offered us in this version. Although it misses some bits and pieces I only hope that in the future versions it will improve on the features that are missing especially protection against root kits. I rate it as 7/10. The price of it is about $0 as you can download it for free! So check it out and kill your threats. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
