  1. Review - Send To Toys

    2.5 (Feb 12, 2007)

    Cool "toy." Very useful.

  2. Review - Skype for Windows

    2.5.0.126 (Jul 12, 2006)

    Skype is a very good program. I only have a cell phone and kept going over my minutes (it would have been cheaper to just get a house phone), but then I tried Skype and what's not to love? Free calls (till 07) and really good clarity. I've been meaning to try out a usb phone on this, but haven't gotten around to it. I think this is better than Vonage.

  3. Review - Opera for Windows

    9.0 Beta 1 (Apr 20, 2006)

    I am impressed. I'm a hardcore Firefox user and I like this browser too. The widgets are awesome, cool skins, and built in mouse gestures. Very cool. The person who mentioned Windows Live not working is correct though. I guess it doesn't know how to handle webparts.

    Anyway so far I love it!

  4. Review - iTunes for Windows

    6.0.4 (Mar 2, 2006)

    I'm middle of the road on iTunes. I use it with my ipod and it works great. The Visualizer has stunning grafix, not that I use it much. I don't, however, use it as my default music player. People are right when they say that it is a memory resource hog. I also hate Quicktime. I disable it from startup everytime I upgrade iTunes (to do that go to Start->Run (type in regedit). Drill down to the following path "My Computer\HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" then delete qttask (or quicktimetask, something like that, can't quite remember). At least it doesn't startup any more when the computer boots.

    I do love the way it organizes music, just don't use it as your default player.

  5. Review - FileZilla v3 for Windows

    2.2.17a (Dec 12, 2005)

    Great FTP manager. I've used quite a few and this one is very simple and does the job. I highly recommend using this.

  6. Comment - PDC 2008: More details on the new Windows 7 Taskbar

    2.2.17a (Oct 30, 2008 - 9:46 AM)

    You can hit "Windows + D" and that will show your desktop (I usually find that faster anyway).

  7. Comment - PDC 2008: More details on the new Windows 7 Taskbar

    2.2.17a (Oct 30, 2008 - 9:43 AM)

    Agreed. I have 37 quick launch icons on my task bar. Also moving the task bar to the top of the screen is a lot more efficient (all application menus are already at the top anyway).

    I've tried docks before and they seem very inefficient to me. I can't stand it when my apps are grouped in windows. One way to get around this might be to start having tabs in more application windows.

  8. Comment - Gibson to Activision: We made fake guitars first

    2.2.17a (Mar 13, 2008 - 9:36 PM)

    I'm sure that they'll flip out about this then...

  9. Comment - New Wii title from THQ seeks to mash up Guitar Hero

    2.2.17a (Feb 8, 2008 - 10:20 AM)

    Guitar Hero is ok, but I prefer playing real guitar. This game looks interesting: http://www.guitarrising.com/

  10. Comment - New iPhone, iPod Touch models have higher capacity

    2.2.17a (Feb 6, 2008 - 10:33 AM)

    Agreed (SDK is supposedly coming out this month). That and drag and drop songs from iTunes. Why in the world do I have to sync my playlist!?
