   Review - Nero Free

   9.4.12.3d (Aug 29, 2009)

   100Mb just for burning a CD?... use ImgBurn instead. Much easier, streamlined and trouble free.

   Review - Total Commander

   7.50 Beta 8 (Jul 30, 2009)

   Get over it emanresU deriseD!
   
   You don't like Total Commander, there is no need to voice it every couple of weeks. The first time we got it. To each his own, so you're entitled to like Directory Opus or whatever you think it suits your needs.
   
   If you love explorer like interfaces get away from Total Commander as it's old school oriented. Yes, dated, horrible design, but functional and speedy for the people that like such ways of working.

   Review - NOD32 for Windows NT/2000/2003/XP (32-bit)

   4.0.226 RC1 (Feb 19, 2009)

   Tried it after losing the free AOL Antivirus (Kaspersky) last year because of all the recommendations and got a virus during the test. So I settled with Avira free version that works quite well.

   Review - eXPert PDF Reader

   3.5.70 (Jan 15, 2009)

   I had trouble with Foxit and started to become slow so I switched to PDF-XChange Viewer and I'm happy with it. :)

   Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v3)

   3.0 (Jul 15, 2008)

   A really good release of Firefox. It's outstanding the speed increase in rendering pages and handling multiple tabs (I mean more than 20). Also much more stable than version 2, at least for me.
   
   The "awesome bar" is really useful. At first I didn't like it much but after a couple of days I wouldn't know what to do with out it.
   
   By this time Extension/Theme support is quite alright. Major extensions and themes are already being supported.
   
   And I do some custom tuning on userChrome to reduce the bookmarks menu. If you want to reduce it then just add these lines to userChrome.css:
   
   /* Remove Bookmarks menu unused items */
   #subscribeToPageMenuitem,
   #bookmarksMenuPopup menuseparator[builder="start"],
   #bookmarksMenuPopup menu[label="Recently Bookmarked"],
   #bookmarksMenuPopup menuitem[command="Browser:BookmarkAllTabs"] { display: none !important; }

6. Comment - EC still holds Intel accountable even after AMD settlement

   3.0 (Nov 13, 2009 - 8:16 AM)

   No, of course.
   
   Why a decision between privates will render obsolete an investigation by a government?

7. Comment - Breakthrough: AMD and Intel settle antitrust dispute, reach new cross-license agreement

   3.0 (Nov 13, 2009 - 7:57 AM)

   Yes, one wonders why people/companies say they did nothing wrong and they settle by paying to the demanding. If you plan to keep your honor you will go to court and win. If not you already decided you were doing wrong and need to do some damage control.

8. Comment - Windows Marketplace for Mobile now available in browser, iTunes' App Store still not

   3.0 (Nov 12, 2009 - 11:26 AM)

   BlackBerry AppWorld has a nice web front-end as well since quite some time.

9. Comment - It's the US vs. the EU over Oracle+Sun and the meaning of 'open source'

   3.0 (Nov 11, 2009 - 8:58 AM)

   Oracle can decide to stop supporting the development of MySQL. It would be the same as the Mozilla foundation stopping to develop Firefox. Of course is open source and people can fork it but how many companies would want to take the place of the current service/development scenario?
   
   MySQL grew because it provided service to two markets. The people that don't want or can't pay for an expensive DB and the people that like better MySQL over other DBs and don't mind to pay for it.

10. Comment - Unconvinced by Windows 7? Ubuntu 9.10 debuted today!

    3.0 (Nov 1, 2009 - 9:22 AM)

    It is as nice as before (8.04) and the Software Center is a good addition but replacing Windows 7?
    Any Linux distro has a long way before replacing a Windows OS. They have to learn to program for users and not for geeks. And of course, it needs software support but that barrier will be gone when most applications go web oriented.
