  1. Review - Foxit Reader

    2.0 Beta Build 0609 (Aug 29, 2006)

    Complete garbage for one simple reason; NO UNINSTALLER.

  2. Review - ImgBurn

    1.0.0.0 (Nov 11, 2005)

    Simply awesome. Extreme ease of use combines spectacularly with advanced technology in this tiny tool.

    This program would benifit greatly from read not just write capability. Its sister program program DVD Decrypter (suspended) was designed as a DVD-Video backup tool, but [s]was[/s] is often used as an disk image utiliser for all kinds of CD and DVD disks. ImgBurn has great image burning, though for now image creation will be done elsewhere.

  3. Review - VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows

    0.8.4 Test 1 (Sep 28, 2005)

    The added benefit that it's free, without ads, enhances this amazing media player. Also very persistent at opening files and disks that other software concluded is corrupt, VLC usually manages to play it.

  4. Review - QuickTime Alternative (QT7)

    1.60 Beta 2 (Aug 5, 2005)

    Wonderful. The browser plugin installation has improved greatly from previous versions. Installed into Opera and Firefox transparently during installation.

  6. Comment - Opera 9 Technology Preview Released

    6.5.2 (Oct 24, 2005 - 4:57 AM)

    That's part of the reason why Opera doesn't have extension capability similar to FireFox. Firefox extensions are able to warp most of the browser, and this is somethimes done carelessly, leading to dodgy, crash prone extensions.

    If Opera includes similar functionality, but Opera Software becomes the only distributor of extensions, most of the benefit would be removed.

    Part of the reason of not implementing a similar functionality to FireFox's extensions is that it will bring instability and vunerability to the software. However, Opera is a much more matured program than Firefox, and adding this feature would require a near full overhaul of the code.

    Both are correct, so blah to you
