The less obvious news tidbit from the release is that Opera Software is evidently still alive, and it's only when you've been clutching that single digit market share for a decade that you can convince yourself that everybody needs a web server on their computer to facilitate a revolution of sharing, openness, and all that happy horse shit.
• The Official ImgBurn Website
  ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit!

  It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task:

  * Read – Read a disc to an image file
  * Build – Create an image file from files on your computer or network – or you can write the files directly to a disc
  * Write – Write an image file to a disc
  * Verify – Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
  * Discovery – Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing
