Review - RoboForm
6.6.5 (Feb 8, 2006)
If there's any program that causes my bslls to shiver, this is the one. Too risky to download this one off eMule, folks... Unless you can see source code for the crack, and downloaded the full install file from maker (whom I guess you just HAVE to trust). If there's ANY software a masterhacker would LOVE to implant a trojan into, you've got it folks, this is the one. Be careful, 'tsall.

Review - Microsoft WMF Security Patch for Windows XP (32-bit)(912919) (Jan 6, 2006)
Microsoft should have sent every customer an immediate notice of this highly critical issue via Windows Updates AS SOON AS IT WAS DISCOVERED and should have given the customer the option to QUICKLY & EASILY disable whatever features were required in order to secure his PC while MS works on the patch. That would allow MS more time to release a stable final solution that admins all over would trust not to BSOD their setups. Now THAT should be MS policy to deal with such close-to-catastrophe issues. We WILL have a similar issue in the future WHICH WILL DESTROY DATA that time, unlike this time where we were lucky to only suffer annoying spyware as a result of getting infected.

Review - MSN Toolbar2.0.2.1007 (Jun 9, 2005)
The version number is actually 2.2.0.1007 (which replaces 2.1.0.2217). Seems slightly more stable. Much slower than Google. Tabs implementation sucks - much better off with Maxthon or even Firefox.

Comment - EU Threatens to Fine Microsoft for Lack of Innovation
2.0.2.1007 (Mar 1, 2007 - 8:02 PM)
The NSA doesn't need to waste expensive fuel on monitoring your/my adult content consumption. They already have "data eating" nodes all over the f'king internet. You must be the dumbest person in the world not to acknowledge that... Everything about everyone is stored somewhere, legally. Once you become a suspect, they can then also legally query that dbase for your individual activities. Until such point they are NOT "spying on Americans".
The NSA doesn't care if you're a pedophile, a drug dealer, or even a mass murderer. They will not be allowed to use above-said dbase for ANYTHING but NATIONAL SECURITY = terrorists and spies. People who have the potential to cause damange in the billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives. -
Comment - EU Threatens to Fine Microsoft for Lack of Innovation
2.0.2.1007 (Mar 1, 2007 - 5:17 PM)
The end result is already well known (in that there won't be any end result).. MS will keep fighting, will only do the minimum to "appear" complying (on any sane standard/review of a higher court) and thus will eventually get the fine trimmed, but new fines will keep coming in (and then again trimmed for "some" compliance). Obviously MS will NEVER bend over to the EU.
Eventually I envision MS paying the supreme court in the US some insane amount of money to review the findings of the EU courts just to clarify the EU is basically inherently UNAMERICAN in its demands. Clearly this will push the EU courts to some level of sanity if they wish the EU to continue to compete with the US (in any industry) in the global marketplace... If THEY screw US in the technology sector, WE will screw THEM in other sectors (once it's clear they are NOT playing fair)...
So in the bottom line, the average American will NOT suffer AT ALL from EU's actions in this matter. Whatever "damage" they cause to the IT world, will be caused unto them in other fashions... Wait and see. And we all know MS will be heavily into other businesses such as marketing/entertainment/telecom/HARDWARE in 10-15 years. By forcing you to use certain motherboards/stand-alone media players, for example, they can force you to pay for every intellectual property item (uncrackable DRM with hardware assistance). We're talking about the INABILITY to pirate software and extreme difficulty in pirating entertainment content (every data stream uniquely encrypted AND watermarked). -
Comment - MS: $4,000 for Daylight Saving Fix
2.0.2.1007 (Mar 1, 2007 - 5:47 AM)
This is a non-issue. Some consultant website will provide a 100% automatic/deployable 100% convenient 100% LEGAL alternative fix which google will quickly index for the obvious keywords...WINDOWS 2000/98 DAYLIGHT SAVING FIX/PATCH

Comment - UK Rejects Citizens' Anti-DRM Petition
2.0.2.1007 (Feb 21, 2007 - 11:59 PM)
You can try to fight DRM all you want, but eventually, a standard-DRM method will be implemented for much of the intellectual property out there with very fine-grain control for BOTH producers and consumers.
So, for example, as a consumer, while browsing through songs (or hearing music on net radio), you'll be able to filter out (never hear) all songs costing more than 25c (the fair price, according TO ME - you pick your own price) or which restrict you to play that song on less than 3 machines or less than 5 years.
There's enough GOOD music in the world to give my financial support to the non-greedy bas****s.
Anyway, point is, as mobile CPUs become stronger to support complex licensing with super-strong encryption backbone and also as memory prices drop, DRM will be every-f'ing-where. You'd have it in every single portable player costing more than $15 in year 2017 FOR SURE.
And those who cry about paying for same content again and again in vinyl then cassette then cd then aac format - well there will be a vault with all your licenses at some online content seller, and if you pay 50c for the same song I said is worth 25c, you'll enjoy the benefit of keeping rights to that song in all future formats... And of course if someone steals your media player, you submit a police report, and get your "modified" license to load your music to a new player... -
Comment - Microsoft Not Discussing Windows 7, Office 14
2.0.2.1007 (Feb 15, 2007 - 11:46 PM)
How the hell can MS release the next OS in two years if they don't even know what they're gonna put in it? Either they are planning for Vista SE (AKA Vista SP3) or the OS will not be out until Aug 2010.
