  1. Review - ACDSee Pro

    2.5.335 (Oct 17, 2008)

    Getting more and more bloated and lumbered by an indexing system you can't turn off, even if you try to disable it by excluding all your folders.

    If you find it getting slower and slower - and you will - you have to delete the database, something you probably didn't want in the first place.

    Searching is an absolute abortion. Try searching for all the images within nested folders, then moving and renaming them. You'll give up before you figure it out. Used to be simple.

    They really have lost the plot with this once excellent program.

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v3)

    3.0 Beta 4 (Mar 14, 2008)

    Still my browser of choice, but only chocked to the gills with third party add-ons, hardly any of which work with this beta. I find it painful without Tab Mix Plus and Flashblock for example.

    Why they haven't expanded the tab options, beats me. For instance, there's little reason to ever want to open a second browser instance, yet that's the default. Rarely would you want Javascript to resize windows, yet that's the default. Things like this detract from common sense out of the box usability.

    In other words, until the add-ons function, without having to hack the config, it's not up to scratch.

  3. Review - Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows

    2.0 Beta 2 (Jan 24, 2007)

    Does it support Send Later as a default yet?

  4. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

    1.0.6 (Jul 21, 2005)

    I use Firefox, yet I still have to see this crap every time I visit Betanews and the Drudge Report (even more infested with garbage)

    "There is 1 update available for your computer
    Your Windows XP may need a tune up.
    Click "Start" to recommend improvements."

    Now you just know there is NOT an update available, and that if you fall for whatever spyware they're peddling you'll regret it.

    So when is someone going to put SPECIFICALLY PUT THESE PARTICULAR spyware peddling deceitful d***heads behind bars?

  5. Review - Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer

    6.1.0.0 Build 2005.6.23.1 (Jul 8, 2005)

    Do your fellow travellers a favour and remove this piece of semi-spyware junk from any Cybercafe terminals you use. It seems they all have it, and it's a pain in the a** having to wait for the icons to load live over a slow connection. Is it too hard to put a shortcut to Yahoo Mail on the desktop or toolbar? And if you want to search from the Toolbar, use Google.

    1. Don't install it.
    2. Uninstall it wherever you see it.
    3. While you're at it, change the homepage to blank.

  6. Comment - Google Chrome takes more than just inspiration from Mozilla

    6.1.0.0 Build 2005.6.23.1 (Sep 2, 2008 - 12:38 PM)

    How big an issue is browser crashes these days?

    It's true, though, that FF s***s its pants over Javascript sometimes.
