  1. Review - CCleaner

    1.21.130 (Jul 12, 2005)

    PERFECT!

  2. Review - Acoustica Beatcraft

    1.02 Build 13 (Jul 4, 2005)

    I'm too big of a fan of FLStudio to be objective, but at least I tried it, right? You know what gets me about this app: It's just plain ugly to look at. Seems to work ok, but I feel like I'm in a dentists office or something. Make it purdy and I'll give it another day in court....

  3. Review - Morpheus Basic

    5.0.0.609 Beta (Jul 4, 2005)

    Clean GUI, and some nice features rolled into what so far seems to be a pretty tight package. Finally on the right track with the interface. A big improvment over previous versions!

  4. Review - Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

    2.0 (Jul 4, 2005)

    I was able to get on the beta test list for MBSA, and I really think MS is finally starting to see the value in getting the community more involved with development. MBSA 2.0 is nice and all, but it's intergration into SUS..errr WUS...uuhh I mean WSUS really shows what Billgatus is up to. MS released some scripting tools for MBSA 1.2 to allow customized exceptions and consolidated reporting, blah blah, etc, which was thrown together with some quick examples and posted in some dark corner of their site most people never stumbled upon. HOWEVER...WSUS brings together security and patch managment / reporting and staging of releases using MBSA 2.0 in a way that gives you the impression that it might actually be possible to manage updates for more than 50 2k3 boxes, and still have time to go through those event viewer logs you've been blowing off for weeks. I believe when they complete their one-stop-shop for updating patches / spyware / virus defs, and configurations (are they still calling it "choice one" or stop-n-crash.....whatever), they might actually come close to their goal of eliminating the need for 3rd party software alltogether. Seriously, they even have their sights on Photoshop!! Looks like MS is starting to listen to the little people, and it's paying off. I giveit a 4 cause I still have 17 NT4 TSE boxes which can't be scripted due to forced reboots that no switch in the universe will stop!

  5. Review - SIW

    1.50 Beta (May 25, 2005)

    Yes! This program is far better than anything else I have seen just because of all the tools and options that seem well thought out. This could almost be a one stop app for any IT pro or analyst. I keep finding cool stuff in every menu! Very nice work, no install, freeware, as Mr. Burns would say: "EXCELLENT"! Excellent indeed...

  6. Comment - Federally funded Internet access to be cut off for Navajo Nation

    1.50 Beta (Apr 7, 2008 - 10:08 AM)

    Looks like there's gonna be another casino somewhere to pay for Native American High-speed porn downloads. God Bless (Native) America.

  7. Comment - What Will IBM Gain by Acquiring Cognos?

    1.50 Beta (Nov 15, 2007 - 9:09 AM)

    More money!

  8. Comment - OneCare Deletes Users' Outlook Files

    1.50 Beta (Mar 13, 2007 - 2:21 PM)

    Microsoft has OneCare....REVENUE! Outlook should use a SQL express backend or even an Access mdb would work better than a "Pathetic Storage Trick" or .PST flat file. Then again, with all the bugs in SQL2K5 Managment Studio, maybe we really are better off already, and we don't even know it.
    Ignorance is bliss....oops...I forgot...they changed it to Microsoft Dumb. And I like these guys...go figure.

  9. Comment - Jeopardy! Whiz Becomes Encarta Spokesman

    1.50 Beta (Dec 8, 2004 - 9:17 AM)

    I was wondering how long it would take Ken to sell out, but to MS? They should have let him host Jeopardy until someone beats his record.
    (Alex has just been extra cheesy lately)
    oh well..
