1. Comment - Could Google be killing Google Groups over and over again?

   (Nov 2, 2009 - 7:08 PM)

   Usenet is definitely suffering. You have to be careful what you download nowadays. Viruses, passwords, non-working files are rampant. Especially with movies. You may download a gigabyte then be prompted for a password. In order to get it you need to go to a website and go through multitudes of prompts, then you may not get the password.
   
   Small files are no big deal but the huge ones are making one very leery of all files. You don't know who or what to trust. The software companies, movie studios, et. al. will be preventing all the pirating before long. Unless the pirates devise a better method than what is currently available. It was fun while it lasted.

2. Comment - Google bites Bing back, recovers all usage losses since spring

   I tried to like Bing and continue to use it along with Google, Yahoo and anything else when digging deep while searching. But the truth is Google much more often than not gives better results for what I'm searching for than Bing. Wish I could say otherwise, but can't.

3. Comment - Why I chose Windows 7 over Snow Leopard (and you should, too)

   (Sep 17, 2009 - 4:29 PM)

   I bought a Mac Mini this past Saturday. I've had an original iMac since they first came out. The only reason I bought another is because at some point my iMac wasn't enough for OSX (after OSX 10.3). When I needed a Mac, before my new Mac Mini, I went the 'run OSX on your PC' route. After all of this I prefer PCs to Mac anyday and twice on Sundays. Basically, it's what you get used to and 'I want my, I want my, I want my MPC*'.
   
   Mighty!

4. Comment - Windows 7 RTM still available via MSDN/TechNet despite heavy traffic

   I finished downloading at about 1AM this morning. Installed and it seems great so far. IE8 seems faster to me. I had a couple of problems with my RC version but they seem to be OK in RTM.

5. Comment - Windows 7 RTM still available via MSDN/TechNet despite heavy traffic

   I actually did stop downloading for a little bit. I left, came back and Win 7 RC had gone to sleep. Had to restart and start where I left off. Damn thing is downloading at about 40kb/sec now. It will probably be tomorrow before I get installed. How's everyone else doing?
   
   Oh, and I turned sleep off. Hope Win 7 realizes that.
