  1. Review - Maxthon (v2)

    2.5.1.4751 (Updated) (Feb 11, 2009)

    this is still broken... if there's any difference at all (the file signatures do have different dates), it's minimal at best... Maxthon is now Crapthon !

  2. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows Vista/2008

    8.0 RC1 (Jan 26, 2009)

    As a "browser engine" IE (7,8) is just "OK"... as a functional feature rich browser application it's pitiful... Where's the tab management, mouse gestures, and so on that make it efficient, friendly, and customizable ? Maxthon, which uses the IE engine, was pretty good at this until recently...

    Fire Fox with a few plug-ins provides a highly customizable application and a stable, safe experience... Use it !!!! MS is doing very little right lately... Vista's a train wreck and Windows 7 doesn't really look much better... certainly no innovation here... My next computer is a MAC !!!

  3. Review - Maxthon (v2)

    2.5.1.4075 (Jan 14, 2009)

    have to agree... this version's bug riddled and breaks more than it fixes... shame... posting the review via firefox ... i used to LOVE maxthon... it's arbitrary bug snot now :(

    updated... pay attention... version 2.5.1.4075 is NOT beta per maxthon's own web site... it's listed as the "latest version"...

  4. Review - Maxthon (v2)

    2.0.3.4643 (Aug 31, 2007)

    Not perfect, but still the best browser by far !

  5. Review - Spyware Doctor

    5.0.0.174 (Mar 27, 2007)

    This app has gone down the toilet... avoid it !

  6. Comment - Mozilla releases Firefox 3.0.11 update as Chrome 3 explodes in Win7

    5.0.0.174 (Jun 11, 2009 - 4:55 PM)

    This speed thing is pretty much nonsense... Chrome has virtually NO functionality... no wonder it's fast... where are the add-on, plug-ins, etc. that will make it really useful, e.g. mouse gestures... if you're content clicking your brains out with IE, Chrome, and a host of others, then use them... if you want to save time and effort and have a rich and efficient browsing experience, use Fire Fox !

  7. Comment - Five Vista perception problems Windows 7 must overcome

    5.0.0.174 (May 28, 2009 - 4:13 PM)

    Well I've actually been running Windows 7 on several different platforms including the betas and the RC, and while it's considerably less intrusive UAC wise, it's driver compatibilities, and alleged "improvements" are marginal... so... it's same old same old from good ole' MS !

  8. Comment - 50 Mbps Comcast network to be 65% complete this year

    5.0.0.174 (Feb 20, 2009 - 4:10 PM)

    Comcast is blowing it so fast they'll be lining up for a bail out soon... if you think this is marginally valuable, you should see what they offer on the phone/tv/entertainment side... less and less for more and more... customers are revolting... just look at Sprint's customer base... GO VERIZON GO AT&T... not that they're saints, but it does look like they have Comcast in their sights... then THEY'LL start screwing their customers like they already do on the wireless market they've monopolized... time for a little anti-trust i'd say.

  9. Comment - Microsoft on Win7 UAC: 'Take the emotions out of the discussion'

    5.0.0.174 (Feb 5, 2009 - 8:49 PM)

    UAC is a continuously evolving "patch" on a legacy kernel that's broken at the core. W7 is Vista SP2.5 with some added eye candy and the same device/driver paralyzed half-baked OS users are so deathly sick of (read vista). I suppose we're doomed as long as we demand that our PC's have a DOS prompt. How about something new. Keep updating Vista (they won't because XP still could outsell it were it not for the OEMs), and give the market something entirely different and the early adopters will flock to it... the world will follow and the hackers will get their long deserved re-set... Put all that cash into some real R&D instead of paying lawyers to defend anti-trust in the EU... take a chance Microsoft... Vista took how many years and is how big a flop... ? Does anyone remember Michael Cimino's 2nd film (his first was The Deer Hunter) ?

  10. Comment - Senate antitrust chief demands answers on US text messaging prices

    It's not just text messaging... the entire cellular industry has run amok... not to mention Comcast !!!!
