   Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

   1.0.2 Final (Nov 23, 2005)

   The "Windows (ALL)" needs to be removed, this does not work with Windows 2003 and if I'm not mistaken it doesn't work with Vista either.

2. Comment - Take-Two Subpoenaed by Grand Jury

   1.0.2 Final (Jun 27, 2006 - 8:27 AM)

   The stupid part is I wouldn't be surprised if this was thrown in as a funny easter-egg by a handful of developers and the stupid thing never was even seen by anyone other than them till they leaked information out on how to find it themselves. To top it off, I'll bet they've already been fired but yet Take Two CONTINUES to get sued! Why?!? I mean all these suits are going to drive Take Two into the ground or make them raise the price of their games sooner rather than later. If people think they can freely sue a development company every time something iffy happens in a game, it'll probably be a few years and it's gonna cost $100 to purchase a decent game just because every game is dually protected with some new form of litigation insurance.
   
   Can we just drop the issue?!? I haven't played any of the GTA series, I honestly don't care for the series but when I heard about this...I DIDN'T CARE. My dad feels the same way I do about the GTA series and that's why he didn't buy them for my kid brother. The parents who bought the game took the risk for crying out loud. What did you think were getting when you bought a clearly violent game for your 12-year-old? Did you think it was going to be nothing but good wholesome fun?!? Come on, we live and learn. Let..it...die...I'm soooo sick of this topic!

3. Comment - DISH, DirecTV Log On to Satellite Internet

   1.0.2 Final (Jun 12, 2006 - 9:08 AM)

   Hey guess what guys! All of you comparing Satellite internet with cable & dsl? You are NOT the target market for WildBlue internet. WildBlue internet, being SATELLITE and all, is focused at people who can't get cable or dsl. Good example, my grandparents own property on the freakin side of a mountain. Anticipated time for DSL OR CABLE? 5 to 10 years, give or take...yeah so $50 for WildBlue vs no internet (my grandfather refuses to get a landline when he has a cell phone)...pretty good deal if you ask him!

4. Comment - Revised Netflix Settlement Approved

   1.0.2 Final (May 2, 2006 - 5:16 PM)

   I have blockbuster.com not netflix, but I live down the street from a regional hub and I can literally do 12 turnarounds in a month thanks to that. Whenever I need to send the movies back I drive down the street and drop them off there in the mailbox out front. Two days later I have three new movies.

5. Comment - Revised Netflix Settlement Approved

   1.0.2 Final (May 2, 2006 - 5:13 PM)

   You can thank the postal service for that not Netflix. It may SEEM like it should take the same amount of time to go both to you and from you but it doesn't. Netflix presorts mail deliveries and mail is probably taken straight to a regional mailing center hub so it gets to you in one day. When you mail it though, your postal carrier has to pick it up, then it has to be sorted, then it has to be delivered to a regional hub THEN it will get to them in about a day. Deliveries from regional hubs are practically overnight, how long it takes to get to the hub is the trick.
   
   Think about it, they said they'd deliver in a day and they did. How else could they properly time the postal service so that way it doesn't tell you they got it till the day before you get it even though they actually sent it 2 days ago. That's just not possible.

6. Comment - Symantec Gets Tax Bill of $1 Billion

   1.0.2 Final (Apr 19, 2006 - 9:26 AM)

   Honestly the number of comments badmouthing Symantec is astounding. Their Corporate AV is outstanding. By far the fastest, most efficient antivirus I've ever seen managed or unmanaged.
   
   For the home user I really have yet to see a satisfactory anti-virus. McAfee sucks just as bad as Norton AV and all the freebie AV clients I've tried bog down my machine to the point of crashing it.
   
   Symantec has more than just AV products though. Norton Ghost, Partition Magic, System Tools (which actually really does help your machine believe it or not), just to name a few.
   
   And people complain about AV Subscriptions but in reality it makes sense. It may seem like your buying a product but paying yearly to use it but your paying the AV developer to stay on top of things and know about the latest viruses and how to stop them.
   
   Perhaps you'd feel more comfortable with installing your AV client and hoping to God that no new viruses come out between now and next year when you buy the newer version of your AV Client?
