Crack and Keygen for WhiteSmoke 2008 in Torrent Contain Virus

June 20, 2008 · Filed Under Software · 8 Comments 

Warning! Do not download WhiteSmoke 2008 from bittorrent, the crack or keygen comes with virus, if you are not aware of it, upload the keygen/crack to VirusTotal - it is an online anti-virus engines that scans the file with 32 anti-virus engine.

Before I proceed, please note that this is not a site that promotes pirated software or serial numbers. If you are interested in WhiteSmoke 2008, do give the demo version a try and if you are happy with the performance, then purchase it.

WhiteSmoke is an innovative software tool that improves and edits your English writing. Based on patented natural language processing (NLP) technology, WhiteSmoke performs advanced and context-based English grammar, spelling, and punctuation checking, as well as text enrichment to enhance your writing.

Based on my personal experience, WhiteSmoke’s performance is somewhat disappointing, it is rather hard to put it in words, you just have to try the demo version and see it for yourself. It did enhance the essay by suggesting keywords, but Microsoft Office is getting better by the minute, and I see no reason why I should pay USD30 for a piece of software.

I guess the only way to improve my grammar is not the use of any computer software but through English classes. After all the English language is a crazy language. Below is an article that you might find amusing, the title of the essay is ‘English is a crazy language’, author unknown.

There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down. In which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

Download Mozilla Firefox 3

mozilla firefox 3 logo

Attention all Firefox user, Mozilla Firefox 3 is now available for download. My first impression was - the user interface is still the same, feature wise it is reasonable. I was hoping for the ‘paste and go’ URL that Opera introduced years ago, it is so convenient.

Opera Browser Feature URL

I’m not a big fan of add-ons, therefore I can’t comment on that either, but time will tell if they manage to plug the memory leak issue and the possibility of losing our bookmarks whenever Forefox 3 crash, yes, Firefox 3 is not as stable as they claimed it to be, based on my personal experience IE appears to be much more solid.

Some of the new features are:

  • Malware Protection
  • Anti-virus integration
  • Vista Parental Controls
  • Effective top-level domain (eTLD) service better restricts cookies and other restricted content to a single domain.
  • New Web Forgery Protection page

If you’re into security, Mozilla Firefox 3 is the number one choice.

Opera 9.5 - Beautifully Engineered

Opera 9.5 - Beautifully Engineered

Opera 9.5 - Beautifully engineered, and indeed it is. Browsing has never been so fast and pleasant, I have to confess I am falling for the latest release. Before I talk about the browser, let us recap my favorite browser 10 years ago.

1996 Netscape
1997 Internet Explorer 5
1999 Opera 1.x
2001 Internet Explorer 6 / Opera
2002 Internet Explorer
2003 Mozilla
2008 Opera 9.5?

Opera 9.5 is truly an amazing browser, it has what safari, Internet Explorer and Mozilla lacks of, and as a user of Mozilla Firefox 2, I have to admit that Firefox is unstable, and when ever the browser crashed, I tend to lose all of my bookmarks - months and months of precious information are lost, not once but probably a dozen of time.

Looking sharp: Opera makes a move to modernize its look and feel to a sharp new skin with clean lines and clear icons. The ‘New Tab’ button and other elements have been modified to make the switch to a better Web experience more intuitive.

New Feature in Opera 9.5 - Speed Dial
Below is a screen shot of speed dial in action, typing addresses for sites you visit frequently is ineffective. Get your favorite Web page with just one click. Speed Dial is a set of visual bookmarks you see when you open a new tab, like a dashboard for your online life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial and Opera will make suggestions based on browsing history and bookmarks.

Opera 9.5 - Quick Find and Quick Search
Have you ever forgotten the page where you found that great article or that perfect gift? When using Opera the browser remembers not only the titles and addresses, but the actual content of the Web pages you visit. Below is a screen shot of quick search with Google.

Some other unique features are:

  • Download Manager with BitTorrent
  • Opera’s Fraud Protection
  • Faster handling of third party plug-ins
  • Much faster start up time
  • Superior support for Web standards

Opera 9.5 has set the new benchmark and Mozilla Firefox has lots of catching up to do. If the memory leak issue and the thoughts of losing my bookmark again occurs, I shall move on to another platform - probably IE or Opera, Safari is just not what I had in mind, probably because of the text rendering engine.

Discover the new standard in Web browsing. Download Opera today to get the fastest and most powerful Web browser available and make the most of your time online.
