  1. Review - Microsoft Silverlight for Windows

    3.0.40624.0 (Jul 9, 2009)

    It entered the market, looked like it had some hope, but has been a pretty big dud since. Now we have to support it for legacy reasons in perpetuity.

    I'm sick of non-open standards in plug-in formats from MS and Adobe. Help us Obi One, you're our only hope!

  2. Review - K-Lite Codec Pack Update

    4.9.8 Build 20090706 (Jul 6, 2009)

    Just voting to bump down the spammer.

  3. Review - Opera for Windows

    10.0 Build 1615 Beta (Jun 30, 2009)

    Firefox *partial* convert here.

    Opera *is* faster for my pages. It does use less memory. Ramping up to get it to act how I want it is still a learning curve.
    - I can't seem to control the toolbars to the extent I can with Firefox.
    -The help system is pretty bad, I had to look offsite to find what I needed for several functions.
    -I do miss some firefox plugins like Greasemonkey scripts.

    Right now I'd give Opera a 91 and Firefox 3.5 a 93 out of 100 score. I will keep Opera on and try and use it more day to day. I see no reason why people *have* to love one browser and *hate* another.

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

    3.5 Final (Jun 30, 2009)

    An excellent release.

  5. Review - CCleaner

    2.21.940 (Jun 25, 2009)

    I had to go to skype forums to see the resolution, not ccleaner's forums.

  6. Comment - Vista's dead: Microsoft kills an OS and no one cares

    2.21.940 (Jul 9, 2009 - 5:09 PM)

    Hey that sounds great and all, but I prefer benchmarks to random forum postings, so back it up with some data. You probably have a laptop that is starved for memory to begin with, or with a very slow HDD. Basic physics and knowing a tad about I/O interfaces go a long way in understanding the point of diminishing returns with using flash memory as a performance enhancement versus much, much faster RAM.

  7. Comment - Silverlight 3 goes live on Microsoft's servers

    2.21.940 (Jul 9, 2009 - 4:46 PM)

    I'll just wait for the inevitable push on WSUS. Isn't Silverlight considered DOA since MLB dumped them?

  8. Comment - What's Next: Chrome OS will have at least some friends in high places

    2.21.940 (Jul 9, 2009 - 4:43 PM)

    To the NSA all data is in the "cloud" already. I imagine they have cracked every standard encryption method out there and just silently sip away at all the data they need to.

  9. Comment - Vista's dead: Microsoft kills an OS and no one cares

    2.21.940 (Jul 8, 2009 - 7:52 PM)

    They may not care what the OS is, but until we have programs running directly out of thin air the OS is critical.

  10. Comment - Vista's dead: Microsoft kills an OS and no one cares

    2.21.940 (Jul 8, 2009 - 7:52 PM)

    XP didn't die because MS has contractual obligations to maintain the previous OS and service pack with government and large corporate entities. Your largest customers don't take kindly to you just turning off support when you feel like it.
