I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.

no, i wouldn't like tabs. what i would like is a single-row toolbar that could deal with the window resizing without getting completely screwed up.

This seems pretty good. I like the tab idea... it's probably the one meme or fad or whatever I'm guilty of really getting into. My only two complaint with Adobe Reader are the slow load/ resource hod issue and how it always seems to choose some random zoom level when opening a PDF from the web. Really, why can't I set my preferred zoom level, or at least have the cursed thing default to always open to a zoom level of 100%? Should be simple!

It looks like Foxit is playing catch-up with PDF X-change viewer ( http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer )

Finally, a version of FoxIT that shows the Cover Page on the right and centre-spreads correctly.

All of these are a little late (except maybe the multimedia playback)
PDF X-Change has been the way to go for a long time
