Review - Xion Audio Player
1.0.125 (Nov 20, 2009)

I've been using Xion for a long time now. I originally downloaded it just so I could make skins for it, but it became a handy little player to use. It's streams radio perfectly.

Now with 125, I can do so much more. This is a wonderful media player. Will stick with it. :)
Review - TweakNow WinSecret 2009
1.5.2 (Nov 17, 2009)

This software is quite nice indeed. It is simple, fast, and efficient. It works.

I do, however, think that it could have a neater interface, based on it's current one.

Nice work! :)
Review - Wine
1.1.33 (Nov 15, 2009)

This is one of the best Open-Source products I have ever seen. Absolutely Brilliant! That's all there is to say. :)
Review - The Cleaner 2010
6.2.0.2019 (Nov 15, 2009)

First and foremost: This application is not worth the money. It's interface is poor, and it's quality is very low.

Furthermore, there are better products for this kind of thing.
Review - TuneUp Utilities 2010
9.0.2010.11 (Nov 15, 2009)

I don't see how this is worthless junk. TuneUp Utilities isn't for everyone. It's designed to keep the average computer running smoothly.
As far as I'm concerned, its Defrag utility is the best on the market.
TuneUp keeps my PC 110% clean. Now with version 2010, I'm more than satisfied.
Comment - 12 reasons why I won't buy an Apple iPad
9.0.2010.11 (Jan 28, 2010 - 2:02 PM)

the iPad is literally a larger version of the iPhone. Expected MUCH more from this. Lets hope that, one day, Apple will release something that will both amaze everyone, and create positive feedback to the iPad in general. Somethin with a camera, a 1920x1080 16:9 ratio, OS X Leopard, Magic mouse compatability, GPS, Blu-ray super-drive (slide-in), etc.

The Nokia N900 is more appealing.

9.0.2010.11 (Jan 28, 2010 - 6:05 AM)

I was really expecting more from this device - I was also expecting a better name.

Looking at the above comparison, I have to say that this is a 'no-go'. It's the first time I have ever said that about an Apple product.

I can see why Apple released the product this way - yet this has not re-defined the Tablet PC as we know it.

So I'm buying an N900 - I have had my eye on that for a while.

Edit 1: Sorry - put this in the wrong place.
Edit 2: The N900's screen resolution is 800x480, not 800x400

I think that the concept is realistic, and worth going for. Here, I'm talking about the concept of less boot-up time due to less resources. I do, however, think (like most people) that things SHOULD be stored on a hard-drive (locally Google, locally). In many places, the internet is not fast enough to keep fetching files that are stored on the internet.

Furthermore, it would get pretty boring if EVERYTHING I did was done in a browser.

Nice concept. Poor dream.
Comment - A real beta process at work: Mozilla fires up Firefox 3.6 Beta 2
9.0.2010.11 (Nov 15, 2009 - 11:40 AM)

I'm running 3.6 Beta 2 and I haven't found a single problem with it.

After running a few comparison tests myself (between 3.5 and 3.6) I found 3.6 to be faster. It loads JavaScript, jQuery, and AJAX at a much faster rate. Furthermore, the performance of those languages are much better. Facebook does not lag anymore, and DeviantART does not hold up the machine every time a deviation loads.

Works like a charm! :)
