MKV并不是通常意义上的视频格式，而是一种“容器”。简单的来说，我们可以将所有的视频、音频、字幕乃至各种文件封装进这个“容器”，而解码工作由相应的解码器来完成。由于其“容器”的特性，所以他几乎能够包容所有的的影音文件，即任何的影音文件可以通过封装成为MKV文件。MKVtoolnix 就是这样一种可以修改、检查和合并MKV文件的工具集。
mkvtoolnix (又叫Matroska toolkit)，是一套功能强大的mkv(Matroska)格式制作和处理的工具，支持将多种视频、音频、字幕等格式封装成mkv格式。

Betterbird is a fine-tuned version of Mozilla Thunderbird, Thunderbird on steroids, if you will. Betterbird aims at providing a better user experience by fixing annoying bugs in Thunderbird and implementing new features. Please refer to this feature table for examples. This should give you an impression of where the project is headed.
Betterbird is a soft fork of Mozilla Thunderbird. Soft fork means that it is closely following the Thunderbird Extended Support Releases (ESR) therefore avoiding the mistakes of other forks which quickly lost track of upstream Thunderbird, thus opening users up to security vulnerabilities.
Is Betterbird for me?
If you like Thunderbird but are discouraged by too many bugs, then give Betterbird a try. It is 100% compatible with Thunderbird’s ESR version. You can install the same dot release of Thunderbird in parallel and switch between Betterbird and Thunderbird on the same profile without problems and without needing the -allow-downgrade command line switch.

Monkey’s Audio is a fast and easy way to compress digital music. Unlike traditional methods such as mp3, ogg, or wma that permanently discard quality to save space, Monkey’s Audio only makes perfect, bit-for-bit copies of your music. That means it always sounds perfect – exactly the same as the original. Even though the sound is perfect, it still saves a lot of space (think of it as a beefed-up Winzip™ your music). The other great thing is that you can always decompress your Monkey’s Audio files back to the exact, original files. That way, you’ll never have to recopy your CD collection to switch formats, and you’ll always be able to perfectly recreate the original music CD.

或许很多人和我一样，在有的时候需要一款能简单处理图片的软件，功能要求也不高，就是加个文字注释，更改一下图片大小之类的。为了这些简单功能我们去安装强大的Photoshop？No No No，杀鸡焉用牛刀？下面这款Paint.NET就可以满足这样的需求。
Paint.Net的开发初衷仅仅是为了增强Windows自带的Paint，不过现在它的功能已经远远超过这个目标了，而且在插件的帮助下，它的功能也越来越强大，虽然不及Photoshop，但是并不是每个人都需要那么专业化的软件，我们仅仅需要一款轻巧的简单图像处理软件，这就够了。
Paint.NET最近的更新也很频繁，或许是上个版本发布的太匆忙，这次更新修复了不少Bug。或许这些都不是什么重点，重要的应该是其提供了对.Net Framework 4.0的支持。好吧我知道很多朋友对于Paint.NET这款软件对.Net Framework的密切依赖颇有微词，不过在Windows 7越来越普及的趋势下，我认为这应该不会成为一个问题了吧。
