  1. Review - Google Toolbar for Firefox

    3.0.20070201W (Feb 8, 2007)

    To wincement: the ff search bar is for me one of the main reasons to use ff. I've even made a couple search plugins myself.

    To amweiss157: what I do is a bit different, because I really like the extra functionality of the google search bar when using google to search. So I've managed to condense the google search bar and tuck it over the ff so that I can use the first one when googling and the other for all the other searches. It was a pain to configure and it just doesn't look right, but it'll do until they merge the functionality of the search bars, ot something better comes along. Hence the rating of only 4 out 5 from me.

  2. Review - Google Toolbar for Firefox

    3.0.2006.1204W Beta (Dec 25, 2006)

    It's a pretty neat toolbar, but what would really kick a** is integration of the toolbar with the default firefox search bar. Or if they provided the functionality (and plugin compatibility) with the toolbar search bar....

    to capandjudy:

    Well actually it was never true. You just overlooked the option not to use gmail....

  3. Review - ATI Catalyst Drivers for Windows XP

    6.10 (Nov 2, 2006)

    All the I-hate-ATI-'cause-CCC-sucks are ridiculous and unfounded as long as there are official driver releases with the control panel courtesy of the ngohq.

    Sure the CCC sucks, but it's getting better all the time, and there are plenty of alternatives. Comparing NVIDIA and ATI driver quality is ludicrous. NVIDIA maybe be marginally better at hardware, but couldn't right proper drivers if their life depended on it. The only thing they care about is topping ATI in the 3dmark results. Who cares that the TV-out is all messed up? Certainly not NVIDIA!

    After being broken for a lot of people for sometime now, finally everything works again perfectly!!! A fine update!

  5. Comment - Panda Looks to Speed Antivirus Scans

    0.9.9.6.5 (Mar 17, 2007 - 3:22 PM)

    Viruses are more preferable than Panda Antivirus...

    BTW this activex applet after finishing the scan, crashed explorer.exe and wouldn't let it restart correctly until I disabled it. Pathetic piece of crap.

  7. Comment - RIAA's Suit Against Mom Fails, So it Sues Kids

    0.9.9.6.5 (Nov 3, 2006 - 2:22 PM)

    I agree with you totally. I'd like to take it one step further. Morality and legality are not synonymous. So are justice and legality. Laws created by corporations are unjust. Disobeying unjust laws and standing against injustice is the only morality I know of, when one the one side you have the economic might of the corporation and on the other you have people like you and me.

  8. Comment - AllofMP3 Fights Critics, Loses Visa

    >The creators of media are entitled to distribute >it and sell it under whatever terms they define.

    Well, you see, this is a widely repeated falsehood. The creators of media are in most cases NOT entitled to pretty much anything except meagre royalty payments. Everything else belongs to the record companies. They get almost full control and reap most of the profits.

    That is why many musicians are not against P2P and the new economical and distribution models that are enabled by the Internet. If you make most of your money gigging, you want all the free publicity and exposure you can get. Giving people access to your works, is an easy and fast way to do just that.

    Read this very interesting piece by Steve Albini:

  9. Comment - Sophos on Symantec's Vista Complaints

    0.9.9.6.5 (Sep 29, 2006 - 11:59 AM)

    If Symantec is denied access to the Vista kernel, maybe we'll finally see some Symantec products that don't cause more problems than they solve!
