  1. Review - Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)

    Beta 2 (Jun 9, 2006)

    Everyone using a download manager (specifically dta) I had to download Vista x64 3 times cause the download manager botched it. Otherwise Vista is nice at first glance. Long install on both computers, graphics are beautiful, sound support was however not so impressive (no sound for ati chipsets, and my realtek wont detect 7 out of 8 jacks) Pretty idiot proof install, and nice recovery options. I'm not trying to give Microsoft an easy pass, but even with all the features being gutted from Vista the average user will enjoy their experience.

  2. Comment - Steve Jobs criticizes Microsoft on Zune, says Blu-ray won

    Zune is a fine alternative. Though I wouldn't expect anything classy coming out of jobs mouth, as he loves to snub some of his biggest fans then laugh at them...

  3. Comment - PS3 Price Cut in US Only Temporary

    Beta 2 (Jul 16, 2007 - 3:03 AM)

    I love BetaNews cause 98 percent of comments turn into flame wars. So let me add my bit.

    While I am not Microsoft or sony fanboi (Have a ps1 ps2, xbox, and 360) Sony got it all wrong with this console.

    While it packs all this cutting edge technology into one unit the price isnt right. While Microsoft has production issues, or quality issues, the newer models should resolve what seems to be their huge crux, what MS got right was the price. Its cheap (relative) and may not have all in one, but you can get the addons and while in the end you may pay more i believe more users rather peice mail a system then pay upwards of 600.

    Im not knocking the tech although removal of the hardware chipped ps2 engine was a mistake, the system is just to much for the average consumer. Thats why the WII is doing so well, its cheap, fun, and while it might not be the cow + milk you can buy either later on if you so choose.

    While Id love to respect what you say Steve your Handle is the name of a wrestler that beat his wife while taking roids. I dont usually listen to people like that for my info ;)

    Flame on

  4. Comment - Digital TV Converter Box Rebate Announced

    Beta 2 (Mar 12, 2007 - 4:21 PM)

    Wow do we ever get any positive response on here? Its nice to see the GOV willing to cover a plan that they instituted. I think this will be helpful for those with older tvs, or low income. Unlike most on here I have a few friends that can't afford the cost of a box in their daily expenses.

  5. Comment - 3M Sues Sony, Lenovo Over Batteries

    Beta 2 (Mar 11, 2007 - 10:29 AM)

    NO 3m IS NOT RESPONSIBLE! Sony had metal fragments in their batteries that caused a runaway reaction. What 3m is asserting is now they are using 3m technology to make them cooler to prevent further melt down possibilities. If its the same tech as what 3m made, and they aren't paying them Sony is in trouble, but this has nothing to do with why Sony batteries were exploding.
