  1. Review - RunWithParameters

    1.5 (Oct 8, 2009)

    Latest Symantec signatures reports it as Suspicious.MHP - deletes it upon download.

  2. Review - BitSpirit

    3.5.0.182 Beta (Mar 24, 2009)

    "the file I get from here does not match the file from the homepage.

    It's two different versions!

  3. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

    8.0 Beta 2 (Sep 5, 2008)

    I've got to run it in compatibility mode for BetaNews - if I don't, it seems to drop all text in a span tag!! For example the text about McCain and technology, after the first paragraph about hurdles to overcome, it jumps into the comments section - I didn't even know there was other text until I sent the link to a coworker running FireFox and it showed the huge amount of text it didn't display!

  4. Review - Screamer Radio

    0.4.1 (Aug 25, 2008)

    Presets keep disappearing (not the presets themselves, the menu item!) and can't figure out the when or why.

  5. Review - FileZilla v3 for Windows

    3.0.11.1 (Jul 7, 2008)

    However, BPFTP is not free!

  6. Comment - Microsoft damage control after marketer claims Win7 inspired by Mac

    3.0.11.1 (Nov 20, 2009 - 3:08 PM)

    In my IT shop, out of 10 of us, 8 went to Macs recently (2 of us manage Windows systems - I stayed with Windows, my "partner" went with a Mac). EVERYONE runs either Parallels or VirtualBox with WinXP or Win7 loaded on it! Mac can't edit the majority of MS documents out there correctly, Entourage is a joke, all they do with the Mac side is browse the web - not one bit of added functionality came with the Macs, quite the opposite. People just want a some kind of change (now, doesn't THAT sound familiar) whether it's a positive OR negative one. As posted earlier, having been surrounded by Macs the past 6 months, and running Windows 7 at home, there is absolutely NOTHING a Mac offers that would tempt me to change. Just the asinine idea of having a application in one screen, while the menu bar for it is on another screen makes me puke. Heck, there isn't even a way to get dual external monitors on the laptop - something PC's offer via a dock every day.

  7. Comment - EU to test Microsoft's revised proposal for Web browser ballot screen

    3.0.11.1 (Oct 8, 2009 - 8:33 AM)

    They could randomly shuffle the choices every time it runs.

  8. Comment - Google: Windows 7 users should be able to choose any browser, any time

    3.0.11.1 (Mar 12, 2009 - 10:01 AM)

    And how exactly would they keep that list up to date? Sure, when you do an install, is asks if you want to download the latest setup files, but that only works if you are upgrading a system that is already successfully connected to the internet!

  9. Comment - Now, it's Sony's turn to take the hit: What it means, and why

    3.0.11.1 (Dec 10, 2008 - 4:30 PM)

    I agree - suits them right for "buying" the movie production companies and forcing BluRay (and it associated costs) down our throat!
