   Review - WhoLockMe

   1.04 Beta (Nov 24, 2004)

   This program stays always on top with no apparent option to turn that off, which I'm not a fan of.
   
   Otherwise it does exactly what it says it does, its come in handy for me already.

   Review - VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows

   0.8.0 (Nov 3, 2004)

   I have to agree with everybody else here. The authors of this program clearly spend more time on making it work then on making it pretty.
   
   Given that I just want to play my media files fullscreen and thus don't give a damn about how flashy a program somebody can make, this is the perfect media player for me.
   
   If you want something that "just works", there is nothing better.

   Review - The Bat! Professional

   3.0.1 RC6 (Oct 11, 2004)

   The pricing scheme here is terrible, less then a year before you have to buy again?
   
   Forget that.

   mmmmm, tasty spyware.

6. Comment - Nokia's N-Gage can't survive against iPhone, will be shut down

   What did the iPhone have to do with this? The N-Gage was a failure almost immediately upon being released, well before the iPhone existed. It simply wasn't well designed and never took off.

   These services are great, you get to click links with absolutely no idea where they go. It's the early days of Javascript screwing with the status bar all over again!

8. Comment - Apple has 91% of market for $1,000+ PCs, says NPD

   2.7 (Jul 23, 2009 - 10:37 AM)

   How do they measure this? Do they include custom built and independant PCs (which for expensive gamer type setups are pretty popular)?
   
   This sounds a lot like how NPD measures PC game sales, which is so massively flawed that the numbers can't be taken even remotely seriously.

   Maybe he didn't have a choice? Users don't usually get the option to switch or not, management/IT decide that we're going to 2007, and everybody in the company does.

10. Comment - New Microsoft 'Morro' anti-malware will share competitors' security events

    Over the last 10 years, I've yet to encounter a problem with a computer that the advice "uninstall Norton" didn't fix. You name it, removing Norton fixes it. That crap causes far more problems then it's ever actually solved.
    
    If this does better in the "doesn't wreck your computer" department, that alone would make it better then the major commercial alternatives.
