Another giveaway offer from Modiac. It seems their last giveaway on our site was so successful, that Modiac has set up a new giveaway offer. From today and through November 1. 2011 Modiac Blu-ray ripper is regarded as the best conversion tool in the world, as  it can decrypt any Blu-ray discs and convert them into any kind of media format. Formats include: DVD, VCD, Mpeg4, AVI, MP4, MKV, WMA,  FLV, RMVB, etc.; popular consoles, such as Iphone, Ipad, Ipod, PS3, PSP, Wii,  NDS, and smartphones. It can also rip Blu-ray to all audio formats, such as DVD,  MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA, WAV, AC3, and DTS. More formats will be added in the future  as development continues.Now we at Mintywhite give you this unique opportunity to get a copy of this great software for absolutely nothing. Yes you read correctly, FREE! Update: Due to my little “mishap” on this post yesterday, there has been a slight change in this giveaway. Modiac has kindly offered us both the Blu-Ray ripper and the video converter as a giveaway offer. Due to problems getting the license for the video converter to work we’ve postponed the giveaway for that product, giving you the blu-Ray Ripper free of charge. Thank you for your patience.

Windows 8 will be the first iteration of Windows that includes, by standard, more “immersive” applications–otherwise known as tablet apps or “Metro apps”. There are a few differences between these applications; here’s how Metro apps differ from classic applications/programs:

• Removed controls (i.e. minimize, maximize/restore, and exit buttons; drop down tool menus i.e. File, Edit, Tools etc.; no scrollbars for the most part)
• Optimized for touch screen rather than keyboard and mouse
• Metro apps are not designed to be closed; they are instead moved to the background for quick launching
• Metro apps run full-screen (although you can put two side by side in a 33/67 ratio)

The tablet apps are accessed through the Start Screen. Here’s the start screen if you’re unfamiliar with it:
