MPC-HC is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems. It has a low system footprint, and it can play high definition content without a hitch. It can also play a ton of different types of video formats, though not quite as many as VLC from my experience. The player has a ton of options that can be completely customized, and there’s different skins that can be applied to customize the look and feel of the player’s toolbar....

First off, the beloved brush tool is included. Being a longtime Photoshop user, this is the first tool I looked for. What I was initially hoping for was a makeshift replacement for my Wacom tablet desktop setup. Unfortunately, even with pencil-sized fingers it’s near impossible to accurately draw on such a small touchscreen. I tried it out with a soft-stylus and it worked better, but it definitely won’t be replacing my normal setup anytime soon....

What Is It? This game is similar to other racing games we’ve covered, like AG Drive. The hook here is the ability to “drift” popularized in movies like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The race scenes have backgrounds based in Japan. One feature I liked about the game is you can control it with either the accelerometer or thumb controls. I’m always a fan of steering by moving the iPhone or iPad; I feel more involved in the game....
As expected, there are already people saying that it’s “another iPhone-wannabe,” but I think that’s too much of a compliment to Apple.. You can easily say that Samsung is trying (successfully so) to offer an Android alternative to Apple, and this phone completely surpasses the iPhone 4 in nearly every way possible. The screen is a Super AMOLED Plus one, even better than the one in the first Galaxy S (and that one was very good), and has a 480 x 800 pixel resolution....

It was the concept that someone could inflict pain so casually that has now made Lt. Pike an icon of unthinking torture on the Internet. There is a Twitter account named the Pepper Spraying Cop. (“I thought it was Silly String. Swear to God.”) Techy satirists armed with copy-and-paste have plastered the Internet with scores of images recasting Pike — not simply as one cop who sees pepper spray as the easy, pre-packaged, and disposable solution for all situations — but as an emblem of all those who have power and who prefer to casually exercise that power than to take the time to consider what is the right thing to do....
