  1. Review - WebLog Expert

    5.8 Beta 1 (Mar 21, 2009)

    There used to be a time that this was a great package. Fast and provided basic statistics. But it now has forgotten to evole and still only provides basic functionality which doesn't justify its price. Google Analytics can do so much more and give real insight on what is happening on your website. WLE just provides some graphs and statistics and getting meaningful information out of it is just about impossible.

  2. Review - iMesh

    7.2 (Jul 14, 2008)

    From the people who hijacked the Shareaza domain, infringed on their Shareaza's copyright and the GPL, are trying to trademark/steal their name and defrauded users with identity theft, all using their Cyprus shell company.

    iMesh should be banned from Betanews.

  3. Review - ClamAV

    0.93-1 (Apr 22, 2008)

    ClamAV is NOT a resident scanner. It was NOT designed to be, nor is that its purpose. It was also never intended to be run on Windows based hardware. People who rate/review here should take that in consideration.

    ClamAV's purpose is to be a scanner for incoming file's a on *nix platforms. It is not intended to be used for scanning of live environments (can be done, and it may find something, but again, it isn't build for that), especially not Windows environments (again, it is possible to use it this way, but the results will be awfull, and it was specifically not designed to do that.)

    So people, please, base your reviews on what ClamAV is and what it is supposed to be. Not what you want or expect (without reading their website apparently) it to be.

  4. Review - PerfectDisk Professional

    Service Pack 1 Build 44 (Mar 4, 2008)

    While it is one of the best defrag apps out there, it is vastly becomming bloatware. No new innovations, just fixes, minor features and a new interface.

  5. Review - Joost for Windows

    0.10.3 (May 24, 2007)

    Interface is nice and refreshing, though needs some getting used to. Works out of the box, no (technical) options that need adjustment and tweaking. Content is very poor and dependend on where you live. The first will probably get better as it moves out of beta.
    Whether it will be as revolutionary as they claim to be remains to be seen.

  6. Comment - New release of Linux kernel presents major changes

    0.10.3 (Apr 21, 2008 - 5:49 PM)

    "After ten weeks in development, a couple of weeks longer than most kernel updates in the recent past, the modifications made to the latest 2.6 series include at least one million lines of code to the code base of nine million lines."

    A million lines of code in ten weeks?!

  7. Comment - 'P4P' could double P2P transfer speeds

    0.10.3 (Mar 15, 2008 - 10:26 AM)

    Tor will never localize nodes/tunnels. Beats the whole purpose, since it allows the ISP to locate and pinpoint the anonymous nodes given sufficient time and hardware.

  8. Comment - After FCC hearing turns into circus act, NY subpoenas Comcast records

    0.10.3 (Feb 28, 2008 - 8:05 AM)

    " Comcast "does not block any Web site, application, or Web protocol," Cohen said at the outset of the hearing.

    ... in which requests for file uploads -- but not downloads -- are "delayed" yet not "blocked," ..."

    Why are they even allowed to say that??? Sending TCP RST's is blocking / DoS. What is the use of such hearings if people are allowed to lie?

  9. Comment - HD DVD Player Drops Below $200

    0.10.3 (Oct 29, 2007 - 4:47 PM)

    I doubt that Blue-Ray will win the battle.

    I recently looked at a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray drive for my PC, only to find that a HD-DVD reader was 99 euro and Blu-Ray only had burners starting a 449 euro...

  10. Comment - EC: Certain US Companies Can't Merge Without EU Approval

    0.10.3 (Sep 25, 2007 - 10:51 AM)

    That is an odd statement considering that that would mean foreign companies are free to do whatever they want on European soil, because they are incorporated somewhere else.

    If I visit the US, don't I need to oblige to US laws?
