   Review - Google Earth for Windows

   4.3.7204 Beta (Apr 30, 2008)

   madmike, you suggested that there be a way to update the images within Google Earth, well, that'll never happen. You must realize that the images aren't owned by Google. The images are updated when Google finishes processing the images so that they can put the images into Google Earth.
   
   I will just say that I enjoy Google Earth regardless of the issues with the images or whatever. That is partially why I gave it a 5.

   Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

   8.0 Beta 1 (Mar 5, 2008)

   I have tried the browser with some of my most favorite sites, and there's not been any issue.
   
   This is a promising step for IE8.

   Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

   6.8.1.5 Beta 1 (Jan 10, 2008)

   darthbeads, I just would like to state that the install failure may be only for you, in no way does that mean that AIM (or any other AOL product) is bad in and of itself.
   
   That being said, AIM isn't a bad application, and you should realize immediately that you can choose what you want on your computer, it's called OPTIONAL INSTALL... try it once before you make a whiny complaint again.

   Review - Safari for Windows

   3.0.3 Beta (Aug 1, 2007)

   I have been quite impressed with this browser. Regardless of what people say, if you want to try it and if you like it, go ahead and keep using it. However, if you are one of those who are so totally against using Apple's applications, then that's fine too.
   
   I am giving Safari a 5 because I love the application. Call me whatever you want, I will not change the rating from a 5 to a 1 just to be in the "popular" crowd. Who cares if you don't like it? Not me, that's for sure.

   Review - RealPlayer for Windows

   11 Build 6.0.14.484 Beta (Jun 11, 2007)

   So far so good. Ignoring the negative comments/ratings insofar as I can, this application is so much better than the previous Real Players.

6. Comment - Twitter goes down in apparent denial of service attack

   11 Build 6.0.14.484 Beta (Aug 6, 2009 - 1:34 PM)

   Twitter seems to be back up for those who wanted to know (it does have some intermittent interruptions but it's few and far between anyway).

7. Comment - Google adds AIM capabilities to Gmail chat

   11 Build 6.0.14.484 Beta (Dec 5, 2007 - 11:12 AM)

   To actually give a review of the service (including the colored labels): I have tried the AIM in Gmail, and I find that it's an awesome little tool, works perfectly.
   
   The colored labels also work perfectly. I just hope the Gmail team will add more colors to the selection tool.
   
   5 out of 5 for both the AIM in Gmail and the colored labels (ignoring the negative connotation of setzek's comment).

8. Comment - Prince Targets Fans for Copyright Violations

   11 Build 6.0.14.484 Beta (Nov 7, 2007 - 5:18 PM)

   It is kinda [read: really] sad when a washed-up former artist thinks he can sue his former fans for doing something that is virtually natural to them on the internet.

9. Comment - Netscape Browser Becomes 'Navigator' Again

   11 Build 6.0.14.484 Beta (Jun 5, 2007 - 6:10 PM)

   I am not going to speak for everyone (unlike someone who seems to think he's got the right to do so), so I will say that I am maybe one of the very few people who don't mind Netscape or AOL or any company for that matter.
   
   With using Netscape Nav. 9 (as I am using it while commenting at this very moment), I have to say that I like the way it looks and how I can use Firefox extensions on it, something the older versions lacked. This version gets a 5, for that. Now, I understand that a lot of you will think I am not worth anything, and that's fine. It still doesn't mean anything to me if you think that. I will continue to use what I want to use since I am totally free to do so.
   
   As for that, I am done.

10. Comment - AIM Now for Vista, AOL Web Mail

    11 Build 6.0.14.484 Beta (Mar 28, 2007 - 5:50 PM)

    "Too little too late." A phrase by those who can't stand to see success by a company they don't like.
    
    I for one am excited about this new development. I don't really care if you "like" it or not..it's how I feel.. if you really don't like it, well, too bad.
