  1. Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows

    9.0.0.3 (Nov 2, 2007)

    This fixes a handful of regressions that showed up in 9.0.0.2

  2. Review - GPU-Z

    0.0.8 (Oct 16, 2007)

    The idea is nice, but it's clearly a ripoff of CPU-Z's name and layout. I really hope CPUID takes action against them.

  3. Review - B.S.E.A.F.R.E.S.H.

    0.943 Beta (Sep 28, 2007)

    That may possibly be the WORST name for any program in the history of computing. The concept is pretty silly too.

  4. Review - iTunes for Windows

    7.4.1 (Sep 10, 2007)

    Absolute garbage, I almost have to wonder if Apple doesn't intentionally use sloppy bloated coding to make Windows look bad.

    They wrote some amazing programs for computers like the Amiga that were only a few kilobytes. Citrus right, this is a very poorly programed excuse for an application and there's no reason for it to be the size it is or run as poorly as it does.

    I don't think the patents ran out. These other companies have just reverse engineered the NES and created a chip that can emulate it (like how Compaq reverse engineered the IBM BIOS to create a PC clone). The emulated chips are far from perfect though. Graphics glitches, wrong colors, some games won't even work at all.

    Blowing in the cartridges damages them. It's not blowing dust out, it's creating moisture on the contacts and that creates a better connection, until it eventually corrodes them. Notice you have to do it every time, and it gets harder and harder to get it to work.

    The toaster tray was a flawed design, best bet is to get a top loader if you can find one for a reasonable price. There are clones all over now but they use an emulation chip and they all pretty much suck.

  8. Comment - Toshiba A3 HD DVD Player Now $199

    It will probably be the outdated 1.0 players that cannot be upgraded. :D

    One agree with you is how the hell does either of these formats supposed to make a profit after all they have spent.

    You have to spend money to get your foot in the door. The money is going to come from movie sales, just as it comes from game sales with consoles. You have to get your consoles or players out there first though. This is also a battle to get Warner. These things are much more important right now than making a profit. The profits come later.

    You couldn't just link the article could you, had to post the entire thing here. Nice going brainiac. Besides, Bill Hunt has about as much credibility as you. One shill quoting another, sad times indeed.

    Forget for a moment that the HD-A2 isn't capable of delivering full 1080p video - that doesn't matter. Why? Because no one can tell the difference, and most sets do the conversion anyway..

    There, fixed that for him. This is an entry level player anyway. What a douche. Maybe he can tell us why it's ok for Sony to sell the PS3 at below cost, but if Toshiba does it they are going to go out of business. Apparently he doesn't have the ability to look very far ahead.
