  1. Review - Weather Watcher Live

    5.6.11 (Jun 30, 2006)

    I use this on a couple of machines... eaiser than going to the website and searching every couple of hours. I wish the maps were a little more intuitive... also, yeah, that previous review is really annoying.

  2. Review - Foxit Reader

    1.3 Build 1130 (Dec 6, 2005)

    I love it! Been using it for a while, and it does garble some adobe generated PDFs... but I tend to blame adobe for that most of the time. Also to the previous reviewer... they offer both a zip file with the exe and an installer. Some people are just more comfortable with an installer.

  3. Review - CDBar

    3.0 Beta (Sep 24, 2005)

    I use foobar currently to play CDs and audio files. I don't think I'd use this instead, but it's not too bad. One thing however, it is Open Source and free... not shareware.

  4. Review - Microsoft Windows Defender (32-bit)

    1.0.501 Beta 1 (Feb 15, 2005)

    Seems pretty good -- a little high on the resource usage, but I'm guessing it's required for this level of monitoring. By the way, asellus, I wouldn't call it a new front... they bought Giant software, so they can keep the name as long as they want I guess. :)

  5. Review - Private Shell

    1.9 Beta (Jan 24, 2005)

    I don't know why anyone would buy this when PuTTY is free. :) http://www.chiark.greene...ham/putty/download.html

  6. Comment - Mozilla's Aza Raskin: The journey back to Ubiquity

    1.9 Beta (Sep 7, 2008 - 11:47 AM)

    Uhm... where ya been? You using FF3??? Awesome Bar included. Or are you being sarcastic??

  7. Comment - Radiohead: comScore's Numbers Are Wrong

    1.9 Beta (Nov 9, 2007 - 4:02 PM)

    I think you are missing the point. Radiohead is keeping quiet about it. They didn't ask comScore to do this, I guess it's just something people were interested in. Radiohead and their people who run the site and sales know all the details, but I guess they'd rather not share, at least not right now.

  8. Comment - iPhone Update Delivers Unnerving Message

    1.9 Beta (Sep 27, 2007 - 11:33 PM)

    I don't disagree with your point, but the only countries we are "behind the rest of the world" from are Japan and South Korea. The rest we are either comprable or further along than. In fact, you probably have more choice here than the GSM only European countries.

  9. Comment - TiVo Drops Price of Series3 by $300

    1.9 Beta (Apr 27, 2007 - 10:00 PM)

    They did... they've been doing their best to sue Dish to try to force them to quit selling DVRs. If you can't beat 'em... sue 'em.

  10. Comment - Alleged 'Unfixable' Exploit in Firefox

    1.9 Beta (Oct 2, 2006 - 3:07 PM)

    Well you don't need a plug-in to do the same thing in IE... Not that I'm attacking Firefox or defending IE. Just that your comment was short sided.

    In IE: Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Active Scripting : Set it to "Prompt" rather than enable and it will ask you to run each javascript. The security zones *are* whitelisting, if you always want to allow a site, you add it to another zone.
