   Review - WebLog Expert

   2.0 Beta 3 (Apr 9, 2003)

   This demo seems ok. The beefier log analyzers generally have more settings you can modify for custom reports. Last week I started using Mach5 and it's much more customizable than WebLog Expert. WebLog Expert is comparatively simple, it has a clean interface but the reports may not be what you're looking for.
   
   Actually, the one report-format I find missing from all these web-log analyzers is this: a report of visitors (sortable by tld/domain/host), time/date, and referrer.

2. Comment - Is there any sense to Microsoft's 800 layoffs?

   2.0 Beta 3 (Nov 5, 2009 - 9:42 AM)

   Jack Welch had a goal to cut the bottom performing 10% of employees every year, to keep GE healthy as an organization. Microsoft cutting 4% is doing just that. If Balmer wants to blame it on the economy to make it sound less mean, then that's up to him.

3. Comment - Uptake on IE8 slows to a crawl

   2.0 Beta 3 (Mar 30, 2009 - 12:43 AM)

   It's meaningless to compare WEEKDAY and WEEKEND statistics for IE8 adoption versus Firefox. IE is hugely more popular on weekdays due to corporate use, then Firefox gains share on weekends when users are at home. IE8 adoption will tick up on Monday again.

4. Comment - RealNetworks lets 130 go

   2.0 Beta 3 (Dec 7, 2008 - 1:13 PM)

   It's healthy for a company to occasionally downsize 10% of its workforce (in this case, 7.5%). Real will probably be hiring throughout 2009, and cutting lower-performing employees will make room for higher-caliber candidates more deserving of their jobs.
   
   When you see a company announce a small layoff, then that's good news. It means the company's management is being responsible to its shareholders.
   
   This may be seen as harsh and unkind, but the world does not owe anybody a living, and Real does seem to be acting humanely. Other companies will have a security guard stand in your office while you watch them pack your things in a box, and then escort you out the door.

5. Comment - Microsoft claims a consumer 'shift' to 64-bit Vista, but where are the drivers?

   2.0 Beta 3 (Aug 3, 2008 - 2:44 PM)

   Dell doesn't even offer x64 _as an option_ for anything that you'd put on your desk. How does that make sense?

6. Comment - Mozilla issues Release Candidate 2 of Firefox 3.0

   2.0 Beta 3 (Jun 4, 2008 - 1:30 PM)

   You can manually edit the download URL from saying 'rc1' to 'rc2' and that seems to work
