We love our Macs, but sometimes videos found on the Web won't play because QuickTime doesn't support certain media file types. Fortunately, there is VLC Media Player, a free media player that supports almost all common media files and even a few uncommon ones. It also has features for adjusting playback speed, AirTunes streaming, and it supports adding skins if you want to give the player a different look. If you find a movie that just won't play on your Mac, VLC Media Player is the software to have.

Also this week, we have the latest update for Mozilla Thunderbird, the full-featured e-mail client made by the creators of Firefox. Our game this week is Vendetta Online, the massive multiplayer online RPG that lets you get in the cockpit of your very own spaceship and explore a vast and perilous universe.

Don't forget to check out our iPhone apps of the week!
