   Review - Vuze for Windows

   4.2.0.3 Beta 11 (Apr 27, 2009)

   Bloated, annoying and slow. Calling "home" and opening website when uninstalling, why?

   Review - OpenOffice.org for Windows

   3.0.1 (Feb 11, 2009)

   Amazing free software but the following should have been caught in the "possible causes for crash by user error". Following thing i managed to do accidentally while doing things in a hurry...
   
   CTRL+C, CTRL+A and CTRL+V = "program is not responding"

   Review - The KMPlayer

   2.9.4.1434 (Jan 20, 2009)

   One player to rule them all. :)
   
   Its hard to come up any bad things about this player, ive used quite a few in the past and this one has been by far the best one. No more screwing around with codecs, etc.
   
   Only problem i have is that i cant get my tv tuner (DVB-T) to work in KMP. Mainly due to lack of experience setting it up and lack of documentation to help me do that.

   Review - Locate

   3.1.8.6150 Beta (Jun 17, 2008)

   Out of curiosity i tested Ava Find and franky i was not impressed. Only thing i liked was the files list view which was kinda nice. Other than that at least the free edition does not come anywhere near Locate. For me Ava Find is useless.

   Review - QuickSFV

   2.36 (Jun 16, 2008)

   Thanks for pointing out FileVerifier++. However something like QuickSFV is better for checking, and simple SFV creation, purposes only. Its simple and clean, however i still like HkSFV for some reason. Though its not been updated for a long time, shame really.
   
   FileVerifier++ seems to be better for creating all sorts of checksums. Previously ive been using the FSUM with the third party frontend, but its not very flexible. FV++ is much better alternative.
   
   Thanks again. :)

   Yea, because it's that simple.

7. Comment - Open source gaming console Pandora shows up on video

   Before coming to any conclusion, might wanna do some research.
   http://pandorawiki.org/FAQ
   
   What is Pandora?
   Pandora is a pocket-sized gaming PC. It is a gaming platform, a UMPC, a PMP, a MID, and many more trendy acronyms as well.
   
   Do you really expect it to compete with the PSP / DS / eeePC / etc?
   No, we don't. Pandora is very different than anything currently available. It is designed to serve a niche market of hobbyists and retro/indie gamers.

   Interesting. Looks like it comes with quite extensive connectivity options, WiFi, Bluetooth and so on, for around 200€+. I have to wait and see how it performs, but im already imagining playing classics like Sam and Max or Day of the Tentacle on this thing. Perhaps even some sort of "remote" for HTPC... who knows. Its open source, so its interesting to see how it will work out in the end.
   
   Anyways, this device is hardly comparable to notebooks or current handheld consoles.

9. Comment - RIAA ignores direct order from LA judge

   Legal crime? I think what RIAA needs is a slap in the face. They need to wake the hell up.
