  1. Review - Napster

    2.0.4.0 (Oct 10, 2003)

    Oh dear, they really haven't got it have they? While I think the concept of being able to download music at a decent quality for a price could possibly work, the pricing is crazy and really needs a rethink. As has been said before, for these prices for an album you could and WOULD buy an original CD complete with high quality packing, lyrics and whatever else. An idea with some potential but needs to be rethought out if they want any kind of success.

  2. Review - Messenger Plus! Live

    2.21.54 (Sep 7, 2003)

    Very good little add on, works well and add's that little something to Messenger. People who whine about this being spyware or adware are just too lazy to bother deselecting it and need something to moan about. Just deselect the junk and you have a good little addition to Messenger.

  3. Comment - Jobs to duck Macworld keynote, drawing concern

    2.21.54 (Dec 19, 2008 - 3:06 AM)

    Personally I have no feelings either way, for or against Apple, it's just another brand. But if Steve Jobs is unwell, get well soon!

    AVG serves a purpose and a good one at that. I don't rate it as the best antivirus in the world, but it's free, and not everyone has a lot of money to spend on software. Also, any antivirus is better than NO antivirus.

    "Macs have allmost no viruses made for them. WHY??"

    Because MACS are nowhere near as widely owned as Windows machines. This is why Windows is the most popular OS to aim a virus at. If MACS were the most popular desktop machine instead, you would see the exact reverse of what it is now.

  6. Comment - Sony Announces PlayStation 3 Pricing

    2.21.54 (May 10, 2006 - 10:51 AM)

    Yep, sure did, and you're right the original article was more hopeful than the Inquirer's spin on it.

    Sounds like they are doing well considering how hard it is. 100% though is a tough one, no matter if it is Sony or someone else. It all depends how many people/man hours they want to devote to doing this and getting the last few % of games working, especially if they were low sellers.

  7. Comment - Sony Announces PlayStation 3 Pricing

    2.21.54 (May 10, 2006 - 8:14 AM)

    Well, personally, I think if they achieve around 75-80% they will be doing well. That's not meant as a snub to Sony, it's not exactly an easy task and I think that kind of figure would keep most people happy. After all, 100% is certainly a 'nice to have' feature but how long would it take to test and ensure compatibility with the huge amount of titles?
