  1. Review - AIM Lite

    0.31 (Dec 17, 2006)

    Lean mean IM machine. I gotta say I really like it. Get's out of the way and does everything I need it to do. I don't need video or audio or emoticons. I just need it to get down to business.

  2. Review - Pidgin for Windows

    2.0.0 Beta 4 (Oct 18, 2006)

    Jabber? Check!
    AIM? Check!
    IRC? Check!

    Does everything I need it to do and do it well without all of the bloat and advertising of the other clients.

    Skype and GAIM are my one two punch that allows me to stay in contact anywhere in the world I might me.

  3. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

    7.0 Final (Oct 18, 2006)

    Funny, think some of the sites that required IE 6 to run properly are not running now on 7. I've been playing with it under XP Pro SP2 and Vista. Well I'm sure the would run fine but their browser detect tells me to update my browser. Hmmm for now I'll stick to Firefox 2.0 and update to 7.0 when it has had some time to mature.

    Works well though so it gets 3 out of 5 due to some quirks.

    GSM/CDMA/EVDO/DOCOMO hybrid handset.
    Avialable in white or black.

  5. Comment - Dell Does Away with Desktop Rebates

    7.0 Final (Nov 21, 2006 - 3:39 PM)

    Yeah, I like this move. Rebates suck for the majority of consumers. I prefer the upfront price.

  6. Comment - Vista Holiday Promotions Announced

    7.0 Final (Oct 12, 2006 - 1:52 PM)

    It's time to pack in a free or low coast upgrade coupon in the box.

    I know I've put off my family and friends PC purchases untill Vista launches. With the upgrade pricing being what it is it just makes more sense for us to wait.

    Give me a cheap/free upgrade path and I'll help ring the cash register this holiday.

  7. Comment - Lenovo Debuts SUSE Linux Portables

    7.0 Final (Aug 15, 2006 - 10:47 PM)

    I have to agree with exceleon. THe problem I've seen is that in the past when a Linux option was offered it was either a very low end or very high end version. THe machines also tended to be more then their Windows counterparts.

    In the end people just buy the Windows version and then install Linux on the same machine for less money.

  8. Comment - Apple Sued Over Nano Scratching

    7.0 Final (Oct 24, 2005 - 11:32 PM)

    Hmmm let's take a look at Netcraft and look at uptime. Of the top 50 sites I see two running running Microsoft. One 2000 and one 2003. The rest are all running Apache and a flavor of BSD and one Linux hold out. Gee which is OS X built on top of? I believe it it's BSD.
