  1. Review - Desktop Sidebar

    1.04 Build 66 Beta (May 6, 2004)

    This deserves a 10 rating.

    This is just that good, rss newsfeeds, weather, clocks and even world clocks, all kinds of photo slideshows, performance monitoring, winamp.

    This thing just blows the world by.

  2. Review - Logitech iTouch Keyboard Software

    2.21 Build 270 (Jan 25, 2004)

    The previous version had this problem of showing the whole dialog, every time at boot, keeping waiting for me to say okay.

    I wish i hope this version avoids this annoyance.

  3. Review - Google Deskbar

    0.5.64 Beta (Nov 7, 2003)

    Very good, nice looking. It has a sweet feature to let you set up a custom search engine, based on the keyword you type. With keyboard shortcuts.

    Very nice indeed.

    Whole look and feel, is very nice.

  4. Review - TextPad

    4.6.2 (Mar 1, 2003)

    I have used textpad for a very long time. I can't help but love it, it's a clean, fast loading interface.

    It can do simple things very well.

    When you are ready for advanced features, it just comes up great.

    Macros, Regular Expressions, Search & Replace across a ton of files. Spell-Checking, Clip Libraries which are a great idea. Great backup capability.

    I will always use this before any WYSWYG tool.

    Textpad forever!

  5. Comment - Yahoo Takes On Google News With Beta

    4.6.2 (Apr 16, 2005 - 5:33 AM)

    Google knows both what information to provide, how to present it better, and has better customization features.

    It's something you have to have a flair for. As a former online sports editor/writer I know how important presentation and organization of content is.

    Google gets an 8 out of 10 for presentation. Very close but not yet a 10.

    Yahoo gets about 4.5 out 10, nice try but you can do much better than that.

  6. Comment - Microsoft, EU Battle Over Source Code

    4.6.2 (Mar 22, 2005 - 4:48 PM)

    The European Union itself is a monopoly, trying to become an european version of the USA.

    Not because they have a good economic, or business or political plan or that they really trust each other. But out of jealousy of America's power.

    But our power is a myth, it's the power of the people and freedom that isn't.

    Sorry when we talk EU, they have their fist up their butt.

  7. Comment - Microsoft, EU Battle Over Source Code

    4.6.2 (Mar 22, 2005 - 4:45 PM)

    I agree with you strongly...

    1. The EU like the united states democrats are pure idiots. Instead of trying to create laws that improve competition, better tax rates, easier start up costs. All they want to do is to destroy one of the best companies around.

    2. Is microsoft perfect? Of course not, they make plenty of mistakes. But if you don't like it, buy other companies products. It's called FREE MARKET!

    3. This is another sign of SOCIALISM, instead of rewarding & recognizing hard work and success they just want to tear it down to give to their constituents..

    4. Life is not fair, all we can really ask for is justice. Should IE been integrated with windows so well? Perhaps not as a marketing decision, but there is no LAW BROKEN. As long as people can easily uninstall it. And can install competitor web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox.

    5. Did Microsoft perhaps do bad practices to push their products all over the world? Probably did, but the punishment is way out of whack!!!!

    6. A Better solution is to fix the business economy to encourage the growth of competitors and to really penalize any level of business wrong doings, from small to big. So that this can never happen in the future for any size of a company.

    7. But business pressure is really hard to track, all we can do is document and bring them out to the open.

    8. More Competition is always the best solution, but don't destroy 1 company just to feed the failings of a competitor. Like with netscape in it's suit in the usa, with sun java etc...

    Justice must be served with Wisdom.

    It's about time, to see a new update...

  9. Comment - Revamped MSN Search Beta Previewed

    4.6.2 (Feb 6, 2004 - 1:34 PM)

    Try that for your search and here is what it says.

    Sorry, no results were found containing "msn sucks"

    Although they do have that need improvement link.

    Needs about 1000% improved. Better relevance, stop cleaning out what we are looking for. Get rid of that filter.

    The key to great search engines is simplicity and relevancy.
