   It's v4.0 (530.17) - released last week

   Review - Skype for Windows

   4.0.0.215 (Mar 16, 2009)

   Must agree with the previous poster: unless you have a very good reason, sit pat with 3.8 until Skype does its inevitable reversal and introduces a "classic" mode into 4.0 which allows it to ape 3.8's look and feel (which begs the question of why 4.0 exists in the first place, but apparently there are some improvements with the audio codec, etc).
   
   And if you use chat a lot, forget 4.0 entirely. Gone is the helpful chat style where you had ample room to type and history was well laid out and color coded all in one space-saving package.

   Review - DD-WRT

   v24 SP1 (Jan 6, 2009)

   Note: SP1 was released months ago and is not considered to be one of their better milestone versions. If you can't wait until SP2, go to their forum and find a post which mentions the latest pre-SP2 version, which are considered better even in beta.

   Review - XviD

   1.2.0 (Dec 2, 2008)

   Isn't h.264 better than both? I don't know, I'm asking.

6. Comment - Tests: Firefox 3.1 JavaScript outpaced by Safari 4, Google Chrome

   1.2.0 (Mar 16, 2009 - 4:33 PM)

   For your element blocking needs in Opera, try this. Fanboy does a great job maintaining both lists:

7. Comment - Microsoft's 'Telescope' to compete with Google 'Sky'

   1.2.0 (May 12, 2008 - 10:26 PM)

   An idea for someone: a site/blog post which lists Google projects that MS has baldly copied. It's a long and increasingly incredible list.

8. Comment - Report: Comcast considers usage caps and overage fees

   1.2.0 (May 8, 2008 - 2:15 AM)

   Oh come on now, that's nuts and I find it hard to believe. Do you actually mean 250 gigaBYTES? An earth DAY? Considering that I do a lot of torrenting (TV and movies) and only do around 60GB on a heavy month, well, let's just say I'm skeptical about what you could possibly find so interesting on the Internet to trump that so spectacularly. Practically everything you mentioned save P2P takes a pittance, so what specifically are you doing with P2P? Uncompressed video or something off-the-wall like that?

9. Comment - Report: Comcast considers usage caps and overage fees

   1.2.0 (May 8, 2008 - 2:03 AM)

   Wouldn't it be better to sacrifice some speed and pay less to DL as much as you want with DSL? Acanac, for example, charges something like $20/mo for the first year for just that.

10. Comment - Comcast swaps HD quality for quantity

    1.2.0 (Apr 2, 2008 - 6:21 PM)

    That 41% number is going to turn out to be false. Perhaps if you lump in all flat-screen TVs of any stripe (and even then it's a stretch), but it's impossible that 41% of households in the U.S. have a true HD-capable set.
