My verdict and Rate:
Cuba isn’t a favorite actor of mine, I find the roles he pick to be a bit too mushy for my liking. In Wrong Turn at Tahoe he play the role of a bad buy and it suits him so much better. He oughta pick roles like this more often. He did it well. Overall Wrong Turn at Tahoe is an intense crime thriller that doesn’t let up. The dialogue is amusing and witty. I recommend it.

Rating: ★★★½☆

My review and rate:
2012 has awesome special effects but it is nothing more. At least it isn’t if you like a movie with intellectual substance, also there is no interesting back-story. Best seen on large screens like those in movie theaters to fully enjoy the special effects. I could rate the special effects a 10 however the movie recieve a 1.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

IE8 right-click problem solution

Had trouble with the right-click function in IE8. Could not right click anything. It was very annoying. I did research and found a solution that fixed the problem. Posting the fix at Banana Munki just in case it could help someone else who experience the same annoying trouble.

  1. Go to RegEdit
    path C:/Windows/regedit.exe
  2. Go to the following location
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
  3. Find the key named NoBrowserContextMenu
    double click and change the value to 0

SongBird or MediaMonkey

MediaMonkeyI use Songbird – it is my favorite in music players with all it’s features/add-ons (radio steamers as one example). I like it’s look and it simply ”feels right”. I even dedicated a post to it so it’s unfortunate that I find Songbird be a bit too unacceptably slow.

I decided to do a search on Open Source Music Player and after giving quite a few other music players a chance to enthrall me I am giving the best candidate  i could find one week to get me hooked.

The lucky winner is Media Monkey. Music manager and Media Jukebox for large collections developed by Ventis Media Inc for organizing and playing audio on Microsoft Windows operating systems.  Available in a free version as well as a paid one, called Gold licence. Skinnable, with extension scripts and plug-ins.

MediaMonkey
MediaMonkey is a digital media player and media library application for organizing and playing audio on Microsoft Windows operating systems

I wouldn’t mind Amarok, not at all. I use Windows and isn’t going to switch (back) to Linux over music players so I’ll keep my eyes open for a Windows version.

I’m not ruling out the possibility that there is a way to make (my beloved xD ) Songbird speed up. Songbird is perfection <3. Ha!
