  1. Review - Google Chrome for Windows

    0.2.149.29 Beta (Sep 12, 2008)

    I like it... think it's definitely better than IE... it's faster than firefox, though firefox (obviously) has better functionality due to the vast amount of extensions available.

    However, not sure about privacy issue... i did read that google revised the wording on their privacy statement so not to appear so threatening--i.e. to make it clearer that google will NOT be spying on you or giving away your info etc... but those are just words... in actuality, if you're trading nuclear secrets or other highly sensitive subjects, you're probably better off with firefox.

  2. Review - Media Player Classic - Home Cinema

    1.1.604.0 (Jul 4, 2008)

    get the x64 version here:
    http://sourceforge.net/p...1&package_id=245172

  3. Review - iTunes for Windows

    7.6.1.9 (Mar 19, 2008)

    There's finally a x64 version of iTunes available for windows vista and xp... though you'll have to go directly to apple's site to download it: itunes and iphone x64 http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ -- not sure, but it may now support the iphone...

  4. Review - Comodo Firewall Pro

    3.0.13.268 (Nov 22, 2007)

    K94517, Point Zero, anomoly, landfish, Blue Joker = the same person...

    come on now... all have the same grammatical errors and writing style... bad karma is a b*... don't dog someone by cheating (i.e. posting the same negative reviews under multiple identities just to drive the rating down)

  5. Review - Comodo Firewall Pro

    3.0.12.266 (Nov 21, 2007)

    get 64bit version here:

  6. Comment - Microsoft claims a consumer 'shift' to 64-bit Vista, but where are the drivers?

    3.0.12.266 (Aug 1, 2008 - 5:22 PM)

    this is probably betanews.com's most popular article, ever.

    mission:
    get max amount of traffic by posting an article that is knowingly going to cause people to get outraged and post maximum amount of comments.

    Result:
    mission accomplished.

    (BTW, vista x64 runs fine, and has plenty of good drivers, for a long time now)

  7. Comment - Western Digital bans sharing of media on MyBooks

    3.0.12.266 (Dec 7, 2007 - 12:46 PM)

    that's only if you decide to use their "Anywhere Access" app... there are dozens of different ways of sharing your data. MyBook is only an external HD, works just like any other external HD... the only difference is the inhouse backup software they're using....

    I've never used any included software with my MyBook... works great!

  8. Comment - Hollywood Writers Walk Out Over Net Royalties

    3.0.12.266 (Nov 5, 2007 - 5:43 PM)

    now people can catch up on missed shows...

  9. Comment - Microsoft Reminds: No Vista SP1 This Year

    3.0.12.266 (Jul 19, 2007 - 2:51 PM)

    hmmm... i'm a computer nerd... (know all previous windows versions like the back of my hand) been using vista for about 1 month now...

    i don't really see any major "problem" that a service pack can fix...

    the main thing that sucks about vista is that it's a resource hog...

    I'm running vista x64 with 4GB ram, E6600 and works beautifully.... but on slower machines, i don't know... it probably sucks a*s...

    so yeah... service pack 1... is it going to reduce resource usage? maybe, if it disables indexing, windows defender, sidebar and aero style by default...

  10. Comment - New Palm OS Delayed Until 2008

    3.0.12.266 (Jul 2, 2007 - 2:56 PM)

    yeah,, no sh*t... they used the iphone and went back to the drawing board...

    there's a few things i dislike about iphone (most of which can be fixed by firmware/software updates)... however, the overall feel and appearance is way ahead of anything else out...
