   Review - eXeem

   0.21 Public Beta (Feb 13, 2005)

   Good idea, will have a good user base most likely. But right now it still needs some work. This is to be expected - its still in beta, and has just been released to the public.
   
   Biggest drawback is that it contains adware (cydoor). Virtually every other BitTorrent client out there is adware/spyware free.

2. Comment - Bing makes a change, and the videos get G-rated again

   0.21 Public Beta (Jun 12, 2009 - 9:54 PM)

   "...explicit.bing.net - has been set up for randy images and video..."
   
   Couldn't the guys at Microsoft come up with Bada.Bing.net for that sort of thing? Or were they afraid of the lawsuit from HBO...

3. Comment - EarthLink Launches 'Freestanding' DSL

   0.21 Public Beta (Jul 10, 2007 - 5:08 PM)

   Exactly. Thats basically 27.45/mo for the first year, and practically $40/mo after that for the cheap line.
   
   I'd like other broadband options, but with cable around here at $40/mo for 10mbit there isn't much else available. After the first 6 months it would be more cheaper to go with cable than earthlink's fast line, and you get 3x the speed with cable.

4. Comment - AOL Top Web Site Under New Ranking

   0.21 Public Beta (Jul 9, 2007 - 7:13 PM)

   So what does that do for people like me that scan my RSS feeds, open a dozen or so articles in tabs in my browser, and read through them one at a time. It might be 15 minutes before I get to the last tab, and I may look at it for all of 30 seconds.
   
   Just because a page has been loaded for an hour before I close it doesn't mean I am actually looking at it that whole time.

5. Comment - eBay Snags StubHub for $310 Million

   0.21 Public Beta (Jan 11, 2007 - 7:10 PM)

   As a sports fan and online consumer this makes me sad. I've bought/sold tix on ebay, and looked at stubhub a handful of times but never actually bought or sold anything on there.
   
   A company like ebay could improve their system, find ways to lower prices and fees, or find other ways to improve their product and gain an edge over their competitors. Or they could just buy them out if they start to become a real threat.
   
   Personally, I really liked to have the ability to compare prices on both sites if I was wanting to buy/sell tickets for an event. Guess I'll have to wait for the next reputable company to come along and provide competition in the ticket resale market.

6. Comment - RIM Sues Samsung Over BlackJack

   0.21 Public Beta (Dec 11, 2006 - 8:42 PM)

   And in other news, Samsung's website has been compromised by some (black hat) hackers who also felt the name blackjack hit too close to home.
   
   Gotta love frivolous lawsuits clogging up the court system.
