  1. Review - Adblock Plus

    0.7.5.4 (Apr 11, 2008)

    With Adblock, NoScript and FF 3b5, the web is fun, clean and safe again. Breakfast of champions good.

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v3)

    3.0 Alpha 5 (Jun 7, 2007)

    @alanpalmer
    Opera and Gran Paradiso both pass the Acid2 test (http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/) while IE6 and IE7 fail, pretty badly too.

    This browser is fast, low on ram with few tweaks of the about:config file, loads Meebo faster than FF does on my slow PC so I'm happy with it.

  3. Comment - The danger of DRM: Yahoo will remove keys for authorizing music playback

    3.0 Alpha 5 (Jul 25, 2008 - 4:24 AM)

    I don't have Yahoo! Music Store but I'm pretty sure these files are lossy. Burning to CD or even a virtual CD and then ripping to mp3 or wma will just lose quality. You could rip to lossless but then you lose space on your HD. It's a lose lose situation. Contact the California Better Business Bureau.

  4. Comment - Qwest DSL gets a speed increase in ten US States

    3.0 Alpha 5 (Apr 26, 2008 - 7:18 AM)

    I don't like Qwest as a company but 20Mbps is sure faster than what Cox offers here. Probably can only get that speed from our local newsgroup provider though.
