  1. Review - Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows

    1.1 Alpha 1 (Jun 3, 2005)

    Again... this version is just for extensions developers and expert testers! If you're not one of those, wait for the final 1.1 version!!

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

    1.1 Alpha 1 (Jun 1, 2005)

    Deer Park alpha 1 is intended only for testers and extensions developers. DO NOT DOWNLOAD if you are an average user. It's going through many changes and many bugs wont be corrected until the final/beta 1.1 release.

  3. Review - BitComet

    0.58 (May 7, 2005)

    Be careful with speeds!! This is actually the tool I get highest speeds with! BitComet always shows kB/s, while Shareaza often uses kb/s and 1B = 8b!
    So 300kB/s = 2.4Mb/s!
    Other than this it has a simple interface and suites perfectly my (legal - linux distros and such - that's what torrents had been created for!) torrent activity.

  4. Review - Skype for Mac OS X

    0.8.0.2 Beta (Aug 31, 2004)

    This is the OSX version... just to be clear. The screenshot is wrong.

  5. Review - Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall

    4.1.0 Beta 2 (May 25, 2004)

    It mad some kind of hard conflict (It almost stuck WinXP... never seen with many other progs... and I'm a beta tester...) with Norton 2003, which were resolved after uninstalling Kerio, disbling norton, reinstalling kerio and re-enabling norton. Now seems to run stable and fine... With Mozilla Firefox I don't need popup & script blocking, so the free version is fine for me. Just need some more testing.

  6. Comment - Zoho prepares for an exodus of former Google Notebook users

    4.1.0 Beta 2 (Jan 22, 2009 - 2:50 AM)

    I can't find the exact reference right now, but on one of google's blogs I read clearly that only the development of google notebook would be stopped, not the service itself.

  7. Comment - Update to Safari browser contains 11 patches for Windows

    4.1.0 Beta 2 (Nov 14, 2008 - 2:40 AM)

    Firefox, too, uses a "substitute just the changed files" way of upgrading, like WU.
    And despite my 6Mb adsl I still think a 22MB upgrade is a lot to download...

  8. Comment - Dell ships PCs with Ubuntu Linux 8.04, but not all are satisfied

    4.1.0 Beta 2 (Jul 22, 2008 - 5:05 AM)

    8.04 stands for April 2008, 7.10 for October 2007; that's why no 8.03 version (or whichever combination of numbers which don't represent a release date) exists!

  9. Comment - TechEd 2007: Skinning Demonstration for Silverlight Touts C# Payoffs

    4.1.0 Beta 2 (Jun 8, 2007 - 2:38 AM)

    ...except it won't be cross-platform, locking everyone using non-microsoft OSs out...

  10. Comment - Yahoo! Drops Google, Launches New Search Engine

    4.1.0 Beta 2 (Feb 27, 2004 - 1:04 PM)

    2 different ideas were at the origin af the two companies... Yahoo aimed to direct people to known sites, while Google was built to have a large repository for links to any internet content. Now Yahoo tries to follow the lucky way Google started some years ago. I'll go on using Google unless Yahoo's engine reaches a really high level of precision, relevance, and speed...
