  1. Review - Mozilla Firefox (v3.5) for Windows

    3.1 Beta 2 (Dec 21, 2008)

    I don't know if it is one of my add-ons, which ALL seemed to be disabled at first with this release, or the build itself, but I have been having freezing issues; not stabile enough for me when all the others so far have been!

  2. Comment - Apple's attention shifts to Mac as iPod growth slows

    3.1 Beta 2 (Jan 24, 2008 - 2:38 AM)

    I don't see how selling 22 million (more) ipods be considered a disappointment. The iPhone obviously does cannibalize a bit, and many people do have an iPod. The iPod touch is now going to be like a mobile platform as the SDK gets released. Love the products or hate them this is one successful company.

  3. Comment - CES 'Better Questions' contest: Win Vista Ultimate, CS3, Zune and more

    3.1 Beta 2 (Jan 2, 2008 - 7:40 PM)

    Ask Sony: Have they learned their lesson when it comes to abandoning invasive DRM technologies on the PC?

  4. Comment - 'PlaysForSure' logo being replaced with 'Certified for Vista'

    3.1 Beta 2 (Dec 12, 2007 - 9:25 PM)

    This is terrible brand building. Smacks of a lack of vision. I am convinced that Apple benefits from this mindlessness. Go read this news on engadget for a good laugh:
    http://www.engadget.com/...ified-for-windows-vista/

    "Microsoft's PlaysForSure DRM just took another step closer to the grave with the help of some rebranding. ..... Of course, Microsoft's Zune is also certified for Windows Vista, just not certified for Windows Vista so it won't play back the same protected files. Man, could DRM get any more consumer unfriendly?"

    Of course the in depth reporting here is the best!

  5. Comment - Dueling Think Tanks Debate Fate of Windows on European PCs

    3.1 Beta 2 (Sep 25, 2007 - 6:31 AM)

    This is pure BS. The market system works. Windows is the best OS, this is why it has so much market share. Dell is selling Linux machines. There is nothing quite like Windows. OSX is getting better and better too and with Leopard will continue to grab market share. LEt the companies freely innovate without these absurd laws!!!!! Is this an homage to the Axis of Evil?

    I feel sorry for MSFT and the Euros if this goes thru- FORCED to have no preinstalled OS? The vast majority will still choose windows, only they will be more inclined to pirate it without getting a cheap system copy. And noone wants the N version without media player. The Euros are smoking CRACK; I think Microsoft should turn the tables and revoke all European govt. licenses, then sue any of them that still use their product. Either that or experiment not selling Windows any more in certain countries... the consumers will demand it... enough is enough.

  6. Comment - Has the PC Become Antiquated?
