Real Alternative allows you to view RealMedia files without having to install the infamous RealMedia Player and everything that comes with it.

All RealMedia formats are supported, including plugins for web browsers to view streaming media.

The only difference between Regular and Lite packages is that the Lite version don’t installs Media Player Classic. If you are willing to try the best player, use the Regular installer.

Use QuickTime Alternative for playing videos and as a plugin for viewing streaming media in your favorite browser. It now includes MOV DL Tool, which is great because it gets launched when you click QuickTime links and lets you download the video file or stream it normally.

Say NO to Apple’s invasive, slow and bloated player.

There is another package called QT Lite. The only difference is that QT Lite doesn’t include Media Player Classic, a great multimedia player. I recommended it as a video player. Its light, fast and has tons of features.

Note: Currently, QuickTime Alternative 2.7.0 is not compatible with iTunes 8. A solution will be available soon, don’t worry. There is an add-on for iTunes compatibility. Install it after QuickTime Alternative.

iTunes 8.0.0.35 was released today.

Apple added a feature that some may find interesting, Genius Music Suggestions. Also, there is a new Grid view and HD TV Shows.

Sadly, they keep releasing iTunes with QuickTime, MobileMe, Bonjour and Software Updater. I’m out of town but this weekend i will modify the original installer to get rid of that. I will add it to my custom installers as soon as i can.

Realtek HD Audio Drivers 2.03. The readme file only says customizations were made.

If you ever get any problems when updating drivers you can use Driver Sweeper after you have uninstalled you current drivers to clean your system for left over files. After that, reboot your computer and install the new ones. This will reduce the chance of having driver issues.

The past two days were filled with information and rumors about a browser called Chrome, made by Google.

While the details were vague and speculative, today Goggle released the first Beta version of Chrome.

Here is an entry of the official Google blog that explains it in great detail.

The interface is really minimalistic, but I’m not sure if this will appeal to the majority of web surfers because we are all used to have extensibility and a plethora of features to count on in current web browsers.

However, maybe this can work as a bare-bones browser, at least, in this stage.

I tried to run install it but the setup didn’t launch at all. I guess i got maybe a bogus file or something. Will try later to re-download again.

This is an excellent tool for disabling startup programs and to see all the things that Windows loads when it starts up.
