Jason Parker Senior Associate Editor Twitter: @cnetdownloads Contact Jason   Some media files around the Web simply won't play on your Mac without the right software. When you run into a pesky media file, try using VLC Media Player. With this software on your Mac, you'll not only be able to play that file, but also use unique tools like finely-tuned fast forward and rewind controls, and skinning options to make it your own. Best of all, VLC Media Player is open source so you won't have to spend a dime on all this functionality. Also this week, we have the latest version of Dropbox, the free file-sharing app that keeps your files synced across computers and iOS devices. Our game this week is Boom, a challenging game that plays like the arcade classic Bomberman, but adds plenty of extras to keep you coming back for more. Don't forget to check out our iPhone apps of the week!  Read more Recent reviews Taco HTML Edit Taco HTML Edit is a Mac-only HTML and PHP editor, a good compromise between free editors and more-powerful (and expensive) Web development apps.   Read more    Opera Extensions, highly competitive page-load times, cutting edge features, and strong support for "future Web" technologies make Opera 11 one of the best browsers available.   Read more    Google Chrome Google Chrome 8 is stable and comes with a full range of competitive features.
