Project Torque could be defined as a free online clone of Gran Turismo – if PlayStation fanboys would excuse such audacity.

Now, before you start throwing your sixaxis controllers at me for being such a daring reviewer, let me explain: Project Torque is not Gran Turismo, that's right. But it is an awesome online racing game, seasoned with a very attractive social component that's contributed to build a very active user community around the game. Add to that a complete driving license system, several game modes, online competitions and a shop where you can upgrade and customize your car, and you get an excellent game that's definitely worth a try.

Bear in mind, however, that it may take a while before you can actually start taking part in races. First, the game file will download an extra 456 MB patch before allowing you to launch the game. Then, I advise you to follow the tutorial, which teaches you all the basics in less than 5 minutes. And finally, you'll need some time to get used to the game's interface, which looks a bit cluttered with all those available options and tools. One tip: add your favorite MP3 files to the game's music folder and you'll be able to enjoy your favorite music while playing Project Torque.

So how's racing itself? Pretty fun, indeed. The game allows you to drive from different perspectives (inside or outside the car) and in all of them, the level of realism is going to make your jaws drop. This goes also for circuit environment, light effects and physical effects as well, the later being especially noticeable when you bump against a lamppost. Luckily you can repair your car on the spot with the backspace key.

As you unlock tracks, obtain different driving licenses and take part in races against players from all over the world, you'll earn experience points that you can later on invest in your baby, I mean, you car, to make it the fastest machine on earth. Project Torque will also give you the chance of meeting very friendly people online, who you can add to your buddy list. The game features embedded chat and email clients to keep in touch with them.

Project Torque is a free online multiplayer driving game, clearly inspired by Gran Turismo, where you can take part in exciting races, earn experience points, improve your car and have loads of fun!

Sometimes you don't want to take risks with folders because what they contain is too sensitive to be left vulnerable to prying eyes. A simple solution to protecting such information is Real Folder Lock which ensures that only you can access certain folders.

The interface is very simple and firstly requires you to set an encryption password that will apply to all documents locked in Real Folder Lock. Within the interface, you can also see which documents have been encrypted for easy access rather than trying to find them on your PC.

The best way to use the program after this is to allow it to integrate into Windows shell during the installation. When you right click on a folder, a "Lock Folder" option will be added to the folder context menu. You simply select this option and the folders are locked until you unlock them again. The locked folder will then appear highlighted indicating that it is locked. When you click on it, you are prompted for the password that you have configured in the program. Note that an extra bonus is that anyone who tries to move or even delete a locked password, will be rejected.

This is a simple program that provides a basic amount of security for your folders. However, it does not appear that the encryption method is particularly sophisticated meaning that it's probably fairly easy to break for a hacker.

Protect EXE offers a simple yet effective way of blocking access to any given application: it sets a password to the EXE file and asks for it every time you want to run the file.

It's certainly a good measure to prevent children from using a certain kind of programs or protecting sensible tools, but there's no way to filter restrictions so these will also be applied to you.

Also, be careful when choosing the password to protect the file: you'll need it to unlock the file sometime in the future and there's no way to recover it.

ACDSee is the kind of application that has been around for years, launching version after version. It began as a fast, simple image viewer and has now evolved into a heavyweight program with lots of tools, which is exactly what ACDSee has been criticised for. In any case, let's take a closer look and see what lies behind this classic image viewer.

Firstly, you must go through a quite lengthy installation process, which involves providing an email address to unlock the trial if you want to use it during 30 days instead of the 7 allowed by default. The installation also includes the Yahoo! Toolbar but fortunately you can skip if you don't want it on your web browser.

ACDSee features a quite cluttered interface which is divided into several windows: the directory tree structure on the left, the selected folder's contents in the central pane and a handy options menu on the right to categorize and rate your pictures. The first time you launch the program, it automatically scans your hard drive in search of images, a process that may take a while if you're a photo junkie and your hard drive looks like an offline Flickr.

As for organizing photos, ACDSee includes an interesting set of tools that allows you to classify images according to categories (which you can create yourself), ratings and the so-called "auto categories", based on the image's EXIF data. There's also a nice search tool with which you can find any photo on your hard drive in just a few seconds, simply by entering the first few letters of the file's name. We found this quite handy, as well as the Help system, which seems fairly complete.

As we said before, ACDSee has been criticised for becoming too bloated with unnecessary extra options. However, you can still find useful tools in the edition menu or the create menu. The first one gathers a bunch of basic photo editing utilities such as rotate, flip, resize, crop, red-eye fix, etc. whilst the second one allows you to create a wide range of personal projects with your photos, including slideshows, PDF documents, photo CD's or DVD's and HTML albums.

Summing up, ACDSee used to be the standard image viewer but in the last few years it has been clearly overtaken by other programs which, in spite of being simpler, often end up being the user's choice. In the end, when all you want to do is viewing photos, you don't need anything else.

Adobe Audition started life as a simple audio editor until Adobe saw that the big money was in music creation software. The program is now part of the Creative Suite line as a multi-track recording studio that offers all the refinement you expect in Adobe products but leaves beginners floundering in technical jargon.

First of all, be warned that this is a big download – 470MB to be exact - and the installation is also a long, drawn-out process so don’t be in a hurry to go anywhere when trying this. After the initial installation, Adobe Audition searches for compatible audio formats on your hard drive but asks you which file types you want to associate with it. Otherwise the program would detect every single sound file on your hard drive meaning your Adobe Audition library would be a jumbled mess.

The main interface is clean, with the active window highlighted by a red border. Each window is separated by tabs to keep the ‘File’, ‘Effects’, ‘Main’ and ‘Mixer’ sections separate and easy to revert to. If you don’t like the layout then Adobe has provided an ‘unlock panel’ option which allows you to detach and move these windows to a position of your choosing. You can save your own rearrangements as workplace templates according to the type of project you are working on.

To really get the most out of Adobe Audition, you’ll need a pretty good sound card. For those concerned with MIDI support, Adobe Audition doesn’t offer a great deal in this area and many users report this as one of the most confusing aspects of the program to configure.

To describe all the editing possibilities of Adobe Audition would involve going into the minute technicalities of audio composition and compression but there are four main modes to get to grips with. The first is ‘Waveform Display’ which displays the wave in graphical form. Second is ‘Spectral Frequency Display’ which graphically displays the frequency range with colours. ‘Logarithmic Display’ does exactly the same but obviously displays the wave as a Logarithm. For producing stereo-sound, there’s also ‘Spectral Pan Display’ and ‘Spectral Phase Display’ which enable you to get stereo sound perfectly synched.

The actual editing itself is performed using the time-honoured cut and paste functions common to most audio and video editing programs. You simply mark an in and out point and cut and paste the audio until it’s as you want it. However, the program is much more advanced than this as it’s able to detect beat patterns and rhythms and set in and out points accordingly. To use this function though, you’ll have to spend a long time studying the Help guide (which fortunately is very clear and detailed). You can also use a relatively new function in the audio editing field called ‘Frequency Space Editing’ which means you can edit certain frequencies of the sound rather than the wave as a whole. There are also of course a heap of effects that you can apply to sounds ranging from complex distortions to pitch bending specific frequencies.

Most recently, the program has been updated with a host of new features. Pick of the bunch is probably the way Adobe have improved multitrack editing, added new effects and enhanced noise reduction. They've also added phase correction tools plus VSTi virtual instrument support. The multi-track editing suite has been improved to save time and maintain consistency by grouping clips into a "Multitrack View". From here you can trim and fade much more easily. You can also batch save all audio files applying specific file formats, locations, filename templates, and more at the same time. 3343

As you can see, Adobe Audition is a very advanced program designed only for those who are serious about multi-track audio production. If you are looking for a simple sound editor, then this is way too advanced and will only leave you frustrated. If however you want to take your first few steps into professional editing, the extensive Adobe help guide will ensure that you get the most out of this rich and complex program.
