   Review - DivX for Windows

   6.6 (May 4, 2007)

   - Doesn't work on Vista (what a coincidence that none of their partner's software [Roxio] supports Vista yet either... hmmmm).
   - They refuse to incorporate and adopt new technologies.
   - 6.6 is the first release in MANY months.
   - Developers are no longer responding to the community.
   - The just separated the software package into individual software pieces, consequently costing significantly more money.
   - Classic example of a company that had something great and turned it into crap.
   
   I was an avid supporter of DivX [and Roxio] for many years until the company went completely silent over the past six months and then spent literally ALL their time on a retarded website called stage6.
   
   Goodbye DivX.

3. Comment - The Internet can still be a positive force, World Wide Web Foundation says

   3.1.5.0 (Nov 16, 2009 - 2:06 PM)

   "The internet is broken because of that money"
   
   I disagree wholeheartedly. Money is what turned the internet into a successful tool. Had money not been involved, I sincerely doubt the internet or even computers would be as widely used as they are today. The internet's monies (e-commerce, investments, etc.) are largely responsible (notice I didn't say solely responsible) for the success of computers worldwide which most definitely isn't a bad thing.
   
   Sir Tim Berners-Lee seems to be more level-headed and makes much more sense in his outlook.
   
   Is the internet broken? Absolutely. Is it broken because of money? Absolutely not.
   
   The internet is a wonderful tool that has brought the best [and worst] to everyone. So what's broken? Literally the fact that it's so accommodating and nonrestrictive to everyone, which is both a good and bad thing. Cultures, societies and even people differ on a great many things and the internet has completely neglected and dismissed any sort of respect for these differences. The questions we should be asking now though shouldn't be dwelling on the past, but what we should be doing to shape the web of the future to open new horizons.

4. Comment - Silverlight 4 to do for PCs what HD DVD couldn't

   3.1.5.0 (Sep 9, 2009 - 6:12 PM)

   Flash does work better then Silverlight... no source needed. Have you not visited youTube, MLB (who abandoned silverlight in favor of flash) or the millions of other sites that have figured out the same thing on their own. Source? Do you use the web or are you that f*ing stupid?
   
   The reality here is that Flash has Silverlight beat hands down in everything (lets not forget Microsoft initially tried to advertise Silverlight as an attack on Adobe Air, not Flash, which also failed). Microsoft knows this or they wouldn't be thinking outside the box to try and find a niche where Silverlight can be justified. Until Microsoft finds that niche, Silverlight will continue to be the joke it currently is today. DRM might actually be a good idea for Silverlight as this is an area where Microsoft has far more expertise than Adobe.

5. Comment - Firefox 3.5 vs. Chrome 3 Showdown, Round 4: Running Web apps

   3.1.5.0 (Jul 27, 2009 - 5:57 PM)

   lets see here... @font-face STILL doesn't work in Chrome and you still can't have add-ins for Chrome. Simple crap like this and Chrome is being compared to Firefox? Not a chance in hell. Firefox just works and works how a browser should work.

6. Comment - Apple's fix for major DNS security hole finally arrives

   What's that you say? Apple have a flaw anywhere? No!

7. Comment - ICANN moves toward completely opening top-level domains

   3.1.5.0 (Jun 27, 2008 - 1:05 PM)

   There are already several reserved TLDs... .example, .invalid, .localhost and .test. I can only imagine this list would grow.
