   Review - DVDFab HD Decrypter

   6.2.2.0 Beta (Jan 7, 2010)

   OMG, my hands are illegal, they can be used to steal.
   
   DVDFab is great, 5 stars.

   Review - Zoom Player MAX

   7.00 (Nov 27, 2009)

   The best media player for me. Been using it for over 5 years and never went back. And damn, these guys know how to write change logs, all other developers should use ZP's changelogs as examples of how it should be done.

   Review - Gom Player

   2.1.21.4846 (Nov 5, 2009)

   Gom Player is pretty good...been using it on and off for over as year, but I always find myself coming back to Zoom Player which fits my needs better (more features, more customizable, and yet still a lightweight app).

   Review - Nero Lite

   9.2.6.0 (v1.3) (May 27, 2009)

   Awesome job at removing the bloat. Anyone has a link to v1.4?

   Review - Norton AntiVirus

   2009 (16.1.0.33) (Dec 1, 2008)

   You're supposed to rate this product, not your impressions with past version (although I do agree with you on that point that Norton used to be bloat and slow as hell). This one, however, has vastly improved in terms of speed, footprint, and apparent speed while maintaining a very good detection rate so kudos to Norton on this one, I never thought they would totally change direction like this. I still prefer NOD32 though (especially the new v4 in beta) but I won't be systematically replacing Norton with NOD32 on all my friend's computers anymore, when I see Norton 2009 installed on one of my friends new PC I will let it live (and save myself some time altogether).

7. Comment - Firefox 3.6 RTM delivery in Q1 perceived as delay

   2009 (16.1.0.33) (Dec 28, 2009 - 6:44 PM)

   I've been wondering for a long time why they simply don't set accurate release schedules from the start. As far as I remember, and I started using this browser since Mozilla version 0.8 or 0.9, releases have *ALWAYS* been late based on the initial roadmap. Si I would think they should have learned by now (~10 years later), decide on your planned release date then add 3 to 6 months to it and it will be more realistic based on historical review of releases.

8. Comment - Shut up and drive: The menace that is mobile technology

   2009 (16.1.0.33) (Dec 22, 2009 - 10:49 AM)

   I live in Canada too (Quebec province) and a similar law was passed last year, which in summary says that drivers cannot use a handheld device that has a phone capability. So it is a bit different from the Ontario law i.e. it says nothing about GPS, iPod, etc... because these devices cannot place a phone call. On the other hand, here in Quebec, it is not only having a phone to your ear, just having a phone in your hand will cost you, even if you have both hands on the wheel and even if the phone is turned off.
   
   Since the law specifically says "a device held in your hand that has phoone capabilities" I wonder if wearing gloves would be fine, or if dialing by pressing the buttons with a pen with the phone sitting on your lap.... ok I was just kidding (I just love trying to find loopholes in the laws).
   
   Anyways, I am not against laws like that one, I agree phoning and driving can be dangerous for many people. However, everytime we heard about the new law that was coming in the months before it was enacted, the main reason that for the new law was not about having only one hand on the wheel, but rather that a person on the phone puts his/her concentration on the conversation and not on driving. That has alway bothered me greatly... if we start going down that route, when will we see a law banning conversations with your passenger because you are not putting your concentration on driving? I am just worried about the precedent it creates.

9. Comment - Statistics: Firefox 3.5 surpassed IE7 in global usage share last week

   2009 (16.1.0.33) (Dec 21, 2009 - 6:17 PM)

   To be fair, note that they've tallied Firefox 3.5 and 3.0 separately too, and Firefox < v3 is not even shown.

10. Comment - Sophos study suggests Windows 7 UAC's default setting is self-defeating

    2009 (16.1.0.33) (Nov 6, 2009 - 8:59 AM)

    because the article is about default settings, which many users don't know how to change anyways (or don't bother to change)
