  1. Review - easy PC texting

    2.3 Beta (Dec 3, 2008)

    Nice concept. won't pay for it though. most cell phones come with an application that does this for you. there are also widgets out there that help with this. not only that, but the pricing on this software is RIDICULOUS

  2. Review - McAfee AVERT Stinger

    10.0.1.602 (Nov 26, 2008)

    Doesn't anyone else find it disconcerting that there is a disclaimer from McAfee that warns you of possible damage to your system by a tool that they put out to help fix a particular problem with your system?

    This has outlived its usefulness with its limitation of only being able to target specific types of infections that have long been identified by the programs that run resident on systems for the detection, prevention, and/or removal of those infections.

    Long winded and technical? Yeah I suppose. let me put it this way. install a current anti virus application and keep the definitions up to date and you should have no problem. one word of advice to go with it? Avoid McAfee. Get something like NOD32, Kaspersky, or even Symantec AV Corporate v 10.2

  3. Review - MediaMonkey

    3.0.6.1190 (Oct 31, 2008)

    Normally works with iPod... and for that I am eternally grateful since I can't even begin to tell you how I loathe iTunes. This program fell short, however, when I tried to use it with my jailbroken iPhone. It told me it was able to read the phone, but I could not write files to it due to an incompatibility. Fix that, and I would GLADLY rate a 5.

    H4cko above: you give it a one because you screwed up?!?

  4. Review - VistaGlazz

    1.1 (Oct 30, 2008)

    obiwan shenobi: Vista is already an unstable system, so this one little hack won't make things not work or make it any more unstable than it already is. I agree with the other reviews in that MS knows that users like to change things to their liking, they should just include it. If they had had that thinking for the Vista deployment, it may not have gotten such horrendous reviews or reception. this app works good for me, and I was able to do some things that I always wanted to. It also has a remove feature so if the system destabilizes, you can undo your work.

  5. Review - ZoneAlarm Pro

    8.0.059.000 Final (Oct 17, 2008)

    I dare you... go ahead.

  6. Comment - Julius Baer drops suit against Wikileaks

    8.0.059.000 Final (Mar 6, 2008 - 12:50 PM)

    The only reason for a person, persons, company or companies to have a problem with a whistleblower is that they were involved in wrong doing to begin with. With that in mind, the public by and large have the right to know. Don't put your hand in the cookie jar, and you will never get caught with it there.

  7. Comment - Three Cellular Carriers Fined Over 911

    8.0.059.000 Final (Sep 1, 2007 - 6:03 PM)

    Um, you're not getting those phones for free, no matter what they tell you. You are in a contract that costs way more than you should have to pay for using phone service. Do you think you're really paying a fair price and getting what you're paying for? Keep telling yourself that. You WAY MORE than pay for those phones throughout the course of your contract. Try and cancel a contract and guess what? You get to pay a nice hefty cancellation fee. What do you think that fee is mostly for? You guessed it...to pay for that "free phone" you thought you got.

    Tracking people in 911 calls is not done by GPS.. it's done by cellular triangulation, and some other high technobabble.

  8. Comment - Google Opens Gmail Signups Further

    8.0.059.000 Final (Feb 8, 2007 - 2:54 PM)

    Hotmail has the wonderful feature of setting up a white list that blocks out all emails from anyone except those that you specifically identify. Gmail doesn't have this. While the spam filter works fairly well, it still sickens me that the box fills up with close to 1500 spams over the course of 2 - 3 days. It wouldn't be a probolem with a configurable white list, which I've submitted requests for, but those requests seem to have fallen on "deaf ears, blind eyes"

  9. Comment - Microsoft Rushes to Fix Critical XP Flaw

    8.0.059.000 Final (Jul 18, 2005 - 8:32 PM)

    If MS was informed in May, how can they say they're "rushing" to fix this? Shouldn't the patch have been made available at the very next set of updates? Oh yeah sure... 'they've been working on it'. Uh huh.

  10. Comment - Citigroup Loses Data on 3.9 Million

    8.0.059.000 Final (Jun 7, 2005 - 11:07 AM)

    that's why they call it a 'class action suit' and yes, UPS deserves to be made to pay for their incompetence. Over the past 5-10 years they've been damaging and losing packages at an alarming rate, and they've been delivering packages late by sometimes as much as a day or two. WHat many customers don't realize is that they are entitled to refunds for these late or lost packages. UPS and other shippers rely on this ignorance to keep the 4 billion or so annual dollars a secret so they will not have to pay it back.
