   Review - Trillian Astra

   4.0.0.111 Beta (Jun 23, 2009)

   @rk05: If you did your research, you would see that it does in fact support Google Talk.
   
   4 stars because it still contains some bugs that were present in 3.x. After trying everything else, it's still my client of choice.

   Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

   2.0.0.5 (Jul 18, 2007)

   Despite its flaws, it's still updated way more often than IE. And if you look closely on that page Blaxima kindly linked us to, you'll see this:
   
   "Most Critical Unpatched
   The most severe unpatched Secunia advisory affecting Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x, with all vendor patches applied, is rated Less critical"
   
   I do agree that it still uses too much memory. Clunky? No. Renders pages just fine; just not pages that a moron designed specifically for IE, which doesn't follow the standard anyway. Loads pages fast enough. No scrolling issues here.
   
   Still my browser of choice. Opera is a close second.

   Review - PlayStation Portable (PSP) Firmware

   3.40 (Apr 21, 2007)

   @Ray Dorset: People have every right to rate it a 1 if it's not living up to their needs as a customer. Calling people losers for doing so only shows your immaturity. Typical behavior of a fanboy. Sometimes people don't like what you like. Get used to it.

   Review - FreeDOS

   1.0 (Mar 12, 2007)

   Apparently stopbuggingme and Pegusis2 don't understand the concept of what FreeDOS aims to do. Whatever your reason is for using DOS, whether to play old DOS games, run old DOS applications, etc., FreeDOS beats the ever-living hell out of MS-DOS. Think DOS, but with more memory, tools, etc. If you're about making an old games machine, like I did, definitely give FreeDOS a try.

   Review - K-Lite Codec Pack Update

   02/24/07 (Feb 25, 2007)

   @wguru: Why give something a low rating just because of a corrupt download from a site it doesn't even originate from? I suggest getting it from BetaNews (100% trusted) or codecguide.com (its home). Learn to navigate the net.

6. Comment - Google Chrome in a runaway lead for browser performance supremacy

   Enough with the e-peen. Although I find nerd wars to be entertaining at times, nobody cares. When it results to name calling, perhaps that's your cue to shut up. You're both acting like 3-year-olds.

7. Comment - Where America stands in broadband, according to the FCC

   02/24/07 (Sep 30, 2009 - 4:43 AM)

   33% of Americans have access to broadband, but have not adopted
   66% of Americans have adopted broadband at home
   
   Strange numbers. I believe those are two different statistics, though. 67% of Americans have access to and have adopted broadband, while 66% of those Americans have adopted broadband at home, leaving the rest to businesses and such. That's my guess anyway.

8. Comment - Jury arrives at $675K fine for student's music downloading, $22,500 per track

   02/24/07 (Aug 3, 2009 - 5:45 AM)

   I agree. However, greed isn't limited to America, friend.

9. Comment - Windows 7: Will you pay to upgrade or won't you?

   02/24/07 (Jul 2, 2009 - 8:27 AM)

   You've never had a virus, yet you don't use an AV? How do you even know? And it's not just browsing you have to worry about. I'm a heavy downloader and files pass through my system on a regular basis. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Security is a healthy practice no matter what you think you may know.

10. Comment - Thanks for the DSi, GameStop, and sorry for contributing to your irrelevance
