  1. Review - Norton UAC Tool

    2008.1.0.11 Beta (Oct 10, 2008)

    Very good tool. It works like a charm. It should be a standard feature in Vista.

  2. Review - Microsoft Zune

    2.0 (Nov 13, 2007)

    Review:

    - Install- Takes some time to install while "cheking updates" and "my computer", but no problems here...

    - Interface - cool interface, clean, simple, and you can even change background in settings...on first run it asks you if you ant to start with default settings or configure. Then it starts importing all your media...

    - Features - Nothing new here, you can rip (mp3 also), burn, sync, organize your media, music, videos or photos, make playlists(itunes is better on this field)

    - Marketplace, is very cool, you can search and buy in a click.Samples have very good quality, and the price? 0.79$

    If you have an old machine stay away from this, it´s kind of heavy...

  3. Review - Norton 360

    1.0 Build 127 Beta (Nov 23, 2006)

    for a beta, not bad...works as it should...

  4. Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows

    8.1 (Jan 26, 2006)

    Very good Browser...

    Pros:

    1- The new security center works very well.
    2- Site controls is great.
    3- phishing protection works (tested) as spyware detection on downloads (tested) GREAT feature here.Not perfect...but much better than the competition.
    4- Profiles, good for some ppl..who don´t want a guest account in xp.
    5- in buil rss reader (simple, just like the new rrs reader in ie beta 2)
    6- passcard and form fill, similar to ff..but good
    7- Ability to change ff to ie whithout extensions..

    Cons:

    1 - No need for the personal bar...( it´s things like that give the bloated image that they are trying to clean).
    2 - Netscape loading message ...
    3 - More themes please...
    4 - a litle more heavier than FF..but not for much..and irrelevant for 2 yrs machines.

  5. Review - DivX Web Player for Windows

    Beta 2 (Jan 5, 2006)

    Tested in firefox and Ie, and it works perfectly...

    Tested codegenerator, and a home vídeo in my web server ...and it works like a charm...the stream is flawless and have a very good quality/speed..ratio..

    A Must Have plugin, for everyone!!!

  6. Comment - PayPal 'Virtual Debit Card' Beta Seeks to Eliminate ID Theft

    Beta 2 (Dec 28, 2006 - 6:23 PM)

    BAhhh...in Portugal we have this kind of system ages ago (5 years). It works very well, and it´s the most secure form of shoping online. Paypal it´s just copying the idea of mbnet.pt, the portuguese service. The diference it´s that we associate a credit card (visa or mastercard), to mbnet, online (online banking) or in a cashmachine, our(multibanco), then we have a plugin for IE or firefox/opera, that after sucssfull login, gives us a one time use credit card number... and we can even estipulate the maximum value permited...

    " next-generation online payment system" ...lol...not for portuguese people, maybe for the rest of the world...i think our system is even better since we can associate cards from mastercard or visa, and the plugins it´s not only for ie but for firefox too...

    hope that they don´t publicise this new feature, as a new in the world...

  7. Comment - AOL Offering Free Antivirus Software

    1- It´s free
    2- Powered by kasperky (itch it´s good- for newbies)
    3- Just use a temp mail, if you are worried with spam from aol.

  8. Comment - European Papers Threaten Google News

    Beta 2 (Feb 1, 2006 - 4:25 AM)

    hipocrisy...i don´t see any newspaper complaint when a user go to their website, from a google search...

    so i sugest to google, eliminate all the links from is search motor... the main site and all the links to their news or articles...

    let´s see if they prefer that way...

    oh...and if google link to any article in my blog, i wont some money...for my content...
