  1. Review - Google Earth for Windows

    4.0 Beta (Jun 12, 2006)

    Looks good, but how often do they update the images? When I look at my neighborhood, the images are at least 4 or 5 years old. I can tell because of the cars I see in my driveway, and the mall up the street from me looks like the construction is just starting.

  2. Review - Yahoo! Widget Engine for Windows

    2.1 (Jul 25, 2005)

    No problems with it so far. Works great!

    2.1 is the free version since Yahoo! bought them.

  3. Review - WeatherBug

    6.0 Beta (May 6, 2004)

    Where's 6.0 beta? I downloaded and installed, and all it did was update me from 5.02 to 5.03. Still a great desktop weather program.

  4. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

    0.6.1 (Jul 29, 2003)

    I've been using this since version 0.4, and it rocks! I never have any problems with it, and love that I can skin it. I never use IE anymore.

  5. Review - Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)

    1.4.2 (Jun 28, 2003)

    Couldn't get it to work with Mozilla Firebird. Had to go back to 1.4.1.

  6. Comment - Sprint Hangs Up on Problem Customers

    1.4.2 (Jul 6, 2007 - 2:42 PM)

    To get AT&T to drop you, you have to be roaming on other carrier's networks more than 40% of the time for something like 2 or 3 months in a row. They'll drop you without charging an ETF because you're costing them more money in roaming fees than what they're taking in from you. This can be somewhat difficult to do though, as their phones don't give any indication when you're roaming. Several years ago the phone would show the name of the carrier who's tower you were attached to. Now it just says "AT&T" (or "Cingular" if your phone hasn't updated yet) no matter who's tower you're on. They do this on purpose to make it look like they're more "allover" than they really are.

  7. Comment - Apple iPhone to Go on Sale June 29

    1.4.2 (Jun 4, 2007 - 4:43 PM)

    AT&T has different types of data plans, many of which are under $40. They have not made any announcements yet as to which current data plans will work with the iPhone. There may even be a special data plan just for the iPhone. Unless you work for AT&T and have some inside info, you have no basis at this time for stating which data plan will be required or what the price of that plan will be. If it does use the SmartPhone Connect plan, that plan only costs $19.99 per month for unlimited data.

  8. Comment - Caption Contest: Win Vista and Office!

    Gates: I'm sh*tting in my pants because I'm SO excited that Vista FINALLY got released!

    Ballmer: I can fly. No...really...I can! Let me get flapping good before I jump off the stage...

    Thanks everyone!

  10. Comment - 'Gears of War' A Success for Xbox 360

    1.4.2 (Dec 15, 2006 - 2:08 PM)

    Does anyone know what the song is that's used in the Gears of War commercial? Is it an actual song, or was it something just written for the commercial?
