   Review - KMPlayer

   2.9.3.1432 R2 Beta (Sep 15, 2008)

   Not a bad player as this played some flv files that VLC didn't.

   Review - MediaMonkey

   3.0.4.1185 (Aug 30, 2008)

   I like this app (hence the 5 stars), but change the friggin' name and call it what it is - AudioMonkey! Stop calling it MediaMonkey because it doesn't play videos (do not mention the 3rd party plug-in to me again!). If this did what it already does and yet also did the job of VLC, then I wouldn't have a problem with the name. But as it is it I'm actually going to give it 4 stars because the misleading name still really p!sses me off.

   Review - BitComet

   1.03 (Jul 21, 2008)

   I've used it and I like and I still like it. And for those who say don't use it, read on:
   
   "In July 2007 professional networking specialist Robb Topolski conducted an independent analysis of most accusations leveled against BitComet including the DHT Exploit and Super-seeding controversies mentioned above. He found all but one of the claims to be false or unverifiable. He found that BitComet is not detrimental or malicious to the download or upload speeds of a BitTorrent swarm or the tracker.
   The one claim he verified as partially correct was that, "BitComet is a poor peer due to no upload slot control; upload bandwidth is stretched too thin.". Topolski's tests indicated that BitComet does lack upload slot control, but only when BitComet is initially seeding a torrent that is, when BitComet is the only seeding peer in a swarm, it tends to seed less efficiently than the two other clients he tested. Topolski asserts that when BitComet is not the only seeding peer in the swarm, or when it is a non seeding peer, upload slot control is managed exceptionally well."

   The fact that BitTornado still bans BitComet says a lot more about BitTornado than it does about BitComet in my opinion.

   Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

   8.0.100a1295 (Apr 29, 2008)

   Is it just me, or have AVG taken a previous excellent anti-virus and turned into a far less user-friendly sluggish version, that immediately made me install it and go back to v7.5? I mean, this has really truly gone downhill with this version. I have disabled elements of the anti-virus which I don't need and it throws up a red exclamation mark in the system tray. I know what I've disabled - I don't need a red exclamation mark to tell me for God's sake. Also there's an element that you can't even disable in the Advanced settings (I forget which). I can't recommend this at all and you should stick with v7.5 - I never thought I'd ever say this but this only gets 1 Star I'm afraid. :(

   Review - Update Notifier

   1.0.1 Beta (Mar 22, 2008)

   Very promising. I do hope this develops but I also recomend a name change.

6. Comment - New beta of iPhone 3.1 SDK shows signs of life for MMS on AT&T

   1.0.1 Beta (Jul 3, 2009 - 4:32 AM)

   I can't beleive you guys get charged for MMS in the States, I really feel sorry for you. In the UK MMS and ordinary texts are included within your package. I get something like 700 mins and 500 texts which include MMS texts.

   1.0.1 Beta (Jul 2, 2009 - 9:37 AM)

   I can't tell you how p!ssed off I am that the 3.0 update hasn't brought video recording to the existing 3G and you have to buy a 3G S. You can guarantee and bet your life on it that I'll be jailbreaking the phone for absolute sure.

8. Comment - Swedish firm looks to acquire The Pirate Bay, may take it legit

   1.0.1 Beta (Jul 1, 2009 - 9:31 AM)

   Well of course now TPB is going legit that means there'll be no more p2p piracy. Simple.

9. Comment - Congress: Should cell phone exclusivity contracts be illegal?

   1.0.1 Beta (Jun 26, 2009 - 9:39 AM)

   .....wouldn't you agree iPhone could have seen much better innovations/featuresets if it did not enjoy the exclusivity?
   
   Errrrr no not all. That's a complete load of rubbish mate.
