  1. Review - CYPHER MILLENIUM Professional

    6.0.3 (Jul 7, 2006)

    common mistake, but, it's spelt 'millennium'.
    since i have to give a rating, i'll give it a 'middle-of-the-road' 3/5.

  2. Review - RSS Bandit

    1.3.0.29 (May 8, 2005)

    Been using 1.3.0.29 since 20th April (2005). No idea why it's only just shown up on the radar here.

    Great piece of kit. Highly recommended.
    Excellent UI. Fast. Intuitative.

  3. Review - ManageEngine OpUtils Free Edition for Windows

    3.1.1 (Feb 3, 2005)

    FYI: Installs as full version, and reverts to 'free edition' after 30 days.

    When you start the tool (via webpage) it says this:
    You are using the Trial edition of ManageEngine OpUtils. This fully functional trial edition will expire in 30 days. After the end of the evaluation period the product will be changed to Free edition with access to only 25 tools

    It's looking very nice/good/handy, though.

  4. Review - Jesusonic for Windows

    0.96 Preview (Dec 29, 2004)

    c***os Inc. is Justin Frankel's company (he of Nullsoft/Winamp/ShoutCast/etc). The man is a genius. Anything he does has to be good.
    I haven't used this s/w myself, or have any plans to do so. But, it has to be worth a 4 just on merit.

  5. Review - EasyTune

    4 Beta (May 7, 2002)

    Seems to do the job nicely on my GA-7ZXR (as did EasyTune III). None of the extra buttons work for me, but, I put that down to my board being a Rev 1.
    One thing, though, I'd luv to know why such an apparently simple piece of software is almost 10Mb in size?!?!

  6. Comment - .eu Storms into Top 10 Web Domains

    4 Beta (Apr 11, 2007 - 2:16 PM)

    "2.6 million domain names have already been registered"
    "one out of every five Europeans owns a .eu name"
    I'm thinking them figures don't add up.

  7. Comment - Microsoft Extends Xbox 360 Warranty

    4 Beta (Dec 23, 2006 - 6:23 AM)

    hence "at least".
    You'll get 12mths from all places no problem. But, to go beyond that requires that the trader/seller has a good understanding of the law. Otherwise, it becomes a legal matter!

    The contract being between the consumer, and the place the goods were bought from.

  8. Comment - Microsoft Extends Xbox 360 Warranty

    Here in the UK we get (at least) 12mths by default.

  9. Comment - Did the PlayStation 3 Truly Launch on Friday?

    4 Beta (Nov 17, 2006 - 4:40 PM)

    If life is hard in the US at the moment, with there being so few PS3s then why not pop over to Europe!
    What's a PS3?

  10. Comment - Lik-Sang Loses Sony PSP Import Battle

    4 Beta (Oct 20, 2006 - 12:09 PM)

    Damn!
    I got my Jap PSP from Lik-San when Electricbirdland had issues (who were then latter chased by Sony for selling import consoles).
    Does this mean Sony will come after me next?

    Sony would do better to concentrate on making their EU customers happier (ie. stop witholding products destined for us, and redistributing them to other areas), rather than telling us we are breaking the law for trying to self-import products prior to their official launch.
