Open source media center Elisa becomes Moovida

Moovida
Moovida is a cross-platform, open source media center application that runs on Windows, and Linux. A Mac version is in the works. Up until recently the project as known as Elisa, but the team behind the application have given it a new name and a new look.

Some of the new features in Moovida include auto-completion of your media library using the Yes.fm plugin, and the ability to show fan art for media files.

The interface has a sleeker, more professional look, that frankly looks a lot less like Apple's Front Row than the original Elisa user interface. Like Elisa, Moovida provides a 10 foot interface for managing your music, movies, and pictures. You can also use it as a media browser for internet video, music, and photos from a handful of sites.

Open source Elisa Media Center goes cross-platform

Elisa Media Center
Elisa is an open source media center application that looks and behaves an awful lot like Apple's Front Row software. The program was initially developed for Linux, but in January the Elisa team released the first version of the application that can also run on Windows.

The media center suite includes a full screen interface for interacting with your music, movie, and picture collections. Elisa also supports plugins, including tools that let you access online media from Shoutcast, Yes.fm, YouTube, and Flickr.

Elisa: An open source media center for Linux

Elisa Media CenterLooking to build a media center PC? You're certainly not limited when it comes to media center software, but Elisa Media Center stands out for a couple of reasons. It's open source and built for Linux, but on top of that, it looks pretty slick. The screenshots and screencast show a product that looks fast, responsive, and professional. It has most of the features you'd expect, including support for a variety of video and audio formats, plus photo slideshows, DVD playback, and web radio. However, Elisa Media Center is still in very early development--in fact, the very first version, 0.0.1, was released on Monday. But if you're not afraid of crashes and really low version numbers, it looks worth checking out.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
