   Review - Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows

   1.5.0.8 (Nov 7, 2006)

   I've been using Outlook Express for over ten years, and in that time have tried nearly every alternative hoping to escape the insulting formatting and utter neglect that is Microsoft Mail, but as much as it pains me to admit it, I've yet to find a replacement.
   
   I uninstalled Thunderbird this time within a matter of minutes, simply because it doesn't allow me the option of "sending later" as a default. That's the way I've become accustomed to sending mail - in batches. I don't want to argue why I find this superior, that's just how I like it.
   
   So am I really asking too much?

   Review - Microsoft Windows Live OneCare

   1.5.1785.18 Beta (Oct 10, 2006)

   Microsoft has a nerve charging for a market that's only been created due to their own sloppy programming.
   
   You should not need a virus scanner. You should not need a firewall.
   
   A mature operating system such as Windows should aim to make itself bullet-proof.
   
   It's like a car manufacturer charging you extra for wheelnuts that shouldn't hopefully come off when you go over 100 Kph - as long as you read the instructions carefully, oh and you don't mind them slowing your car down.

   Review - eMule

   0.47c (Sep 13, 2006)

   File has zero content and no mention of a 47c release on Project forum.
   
   Bogus release?

4. Comment - Top 10 Windows 7 Features #4: A worthwhile Windows Explorer

   So does can automatically add transfers to a queue now - like say Xtree Gold or any FTP app - or does it still try to do it all at once - and fail?

5. Comment - iPhone's future uncertain in Germany after court ruling

   Apple really showed its cards as the power-crazed Microsoft wannabe most of us already know it was, when it went out of its way to block Iphone owners from uploading their own ringtones.
   
   This is one greedy ugly sonofab**** company.

6. Comment - Mozilla ships first public beta of Firefox 3

   0.47c (Nov 21, 2007 - 6:37 AM)

   Persevered with it for a few hours and now back to 2.0.0.9.
   
   The problem for me was extensions. The only one that worked out of the box was Adblock, and I can actually live without it. The most important for me is TabMix Plus. Firefox really needs it to be workable for me. I like to be able to close left tabs, and right tabs from the tab context menu, close tab from mouse context menu, and to force all tabs into one Window. Firefox should offer those as standard options. In fact, Firefox is a little underfeatured this far on in its development cycle relying way too much on third party add-ons that most people probably don't know about, and even less have the time to fish around and experiment with.

   LOL!
   
   Leave defects in your products by design, then charge extra for those who want to TRY to protect themselves from these defects.
   
   Microsoft is an a** of a company.
