Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v3)
3.0 (Jun 17, 2008)

"If Opera is so great then why is FF beating the daylights out of it in market share? Because FF is more what people want!"
i won't use that as a reason if i were you. *cough* IE *cough*

FF3 is great, a huge improvement over FF2, but it still has problems for me for a site i go to a lot. Could be site related, but no other browser (IE, opera, safari) has that problem either, so.....i dunno. I have it installed, but it can't fully replace maxthon yet.
Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP
7.0.5730.13 (Oct 4, 2007)

well if FF3 final is anything like FF3 alpha 3 then it'll suck. Dont say something unreleased is better than something thats available already. If you can see the future you'd be the richest person on earth right now
Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)
2.0 Final (Oct 23, 2006)

i like 2.0 much better than the 1.x series, because the 1.x series had a font issue for the zh-tw version i used, and the 2.0 didn't. However, the high memory usage (something that people complains a lot should not be listed as a "feature", or should at least have an option to disable it) is still a problem with 2.0 for me. any way to disable or alleviate it? thx

7.0 Final (Oct 18, 2006)

receive a bad score because it's not open source? what kind of logic is that?

0.97 was working great for me, but 0.98 keeps giving me an error with the add-on updates information. I even tried to delete it and install it again but same problems. Anyone have any ideas?

holy crap, this is getting out of hand. There will always be someone who complains and think of a "fair" method that benefits them. Why not just have a roulette wheel then, and the user gets whatever they manage to click on? Or just install ALL of them, and the user can use whichever one they want?
Comment - Skype doubles connection fees for many international calls

you're right. I dont think that google voice can do pc to phone calls without using a 3rd party program. i've gotten so used to using skype (and now google voice) to make international calls using my cell phone that i totally forgot about the pc to phone portion.

wondering why they are doing this when google voice is gaining steam.
I know that for my international calls, I use google voice now, since google doesn't (yet) charge a connection fee, and their per-minute charge is the same as skype.

0.98 (Aug 24, 2009 - 12:01 PM)

it would be nice if the price is right, but i'm sure with the inclusion of 3G, HSPA, and AGPS, it'll be much higher priced than the average netbook. I'm guessing about $100 higher.

"And that comparison should include Speed, Security, Extensibility and more." You think it should be included because you care about it? The majority of the people don't care about it at all. They just care about being able to get online and access the websites they want. So if I care about the .exe file size should that be included as well? How about the fact that extensions break with new updates to FF? Should that be made known? Too much information can be a huge deterrent sometimes. It's fair enough that each browser gets to put a basic description and leave it at that.
" I hope the EU notices this and forces them to order them alphabetically or some other fair way" uhh..explain to me why isn't ordered by popularity fair? It's just as fair as other methods that's not random. If alphabetically is fair, why not reverse-alphabetically? Unless you display order by random each time the OS is installed, there will always be people that argue that it's fair or not.
