   Things that make you go "Humm"

   Review - Norton AntiVirus

   2009 (16.0.0.69) Beta (Jul 16, 2008)

   In the days of DOS and Windows 95 Norton (Syamntec) use to make good products, now days all they churn out is bloated crapware. There are many good free alternative products available so don't waste your money.

   Review - Safari for Windows

   3.1.1 (Apr 16, 2008)

   Can we legally run this on a non Apple branded computer yet? Reading through the EULA gives me a headache.

   Review - nVIDIA ForceWare Drivers for Windows 2000/XP (32-bit)

   174.74 (Apr 3, 2008)

   New Nvidia drivers need to be classified as ad ware because they install shortcuts for the Portal demo through Steam on your desktop without asking. I feel it is a bad trend that drivers for your expensive hardware now includes ads.

   Review - Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit)

   RC Refresh (Jan 14, 2008)

   I notice Microsoft says:
   "Microsoft does not recommend installing this software on primary or mission critical systems."
   
   One would think they mean Vista period, not just the beta of SP1.
   
   But seriously after first booting it takes about three min for the first window for "computer" or "control panel" to open the first time I click on it. Also I have to use the touch pad to go into control panel and click on the blue tooth icon to enable my blue tooth mouse after a hard boot but not a soft boot.

6. Comment - Why a Verizon iPhone wouldn't work (for Verizon)

   RC Refresh (Oct 11, 2009 - 3:32 PM)

   No, that was Nextel/ Sprint not Verizon.

7. Comment - Have high-end Macs made Apple the preferred choice of snobs?

   RC Refresh (Jul 24, 2009 - 7:57 PM)

   I guess the "well-heeled" may be "well-heeled" in part because they aren't paying Microsoft $400 to "upgrade" their OS and hundreds more to "upgrade" all the various utility programs that go with it every three years.

8. Comment - Windows 7: Will you pay to upgrade or won't you?

   RC Refresh (Jul 1, 2009 - 9:49 PM)

   I never payed to upgrade to Vista (but did get it on a new computer), and I won't pay to upgrade to Windows 7. Might get it when I buy a new computer, or that new computer might have OS X on it, not sure yet.

9. Comment - Recording artists claim their music is being boycotted over royalties

   RC Refresh (Jun 10, 2009 - 3:55 PM)

   We need us a music czar to heavily regulate all of this. It seems to be the magic answer to everything else now days.

10. Comment - Blu-ray sales skyrocket, provided you lower the sky

    RC Refresh (May 13, 2009 - 11:44 PM)

    I would love to buy a Blu-ray player. Movies look great in 1080P, just not great enough to pay $200 plus for the player and $9 more for the Blu-ray version of a movie in today's economy. Blu-ray might be doing well but if the price was more in line with DVD it could be doing much, much better.
