Review - VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows
1.0.3 (Oct 31, 2009)

I agree with chinch. I unloaded WMP long ago because of all the codecs needed to be installed just to play some videos and then some videos wouldn't play anyway. Where I think you are wrong chinch is saying ppl have crappy PCs. That may be true in some cases but I would bet that most ppl aren't playing the types of files you and I are. True, VLC has advanced options which make my head spin also, so I just set it to default. Anyone who says VLC player has terrible video quality might want to check their monitor instead. How much clearer can a video player get than VLC? I presume there might be a better player out there, but VLC is the only player anyone should ever need to play video on the fly, period.
Review - iTunes for Windows
9.0.2 (Oct 29, 2009)

Scroogle or Bing software that will upload mp3s to your Ipod directly. There is plenty out there. Pick a good one though.
Review - Norton AntiVirus
2010 17.0.0.136 (Sep 11, 2009)

Never used Norton but I presume it is very good. There are just too many other very good free anti virus software to use. To Craigun, Revo does not remove all traces, the only way is to go into the registry and do a search for any leftovers that may be hanging around. I use 3 diff registry cleaners and I still have to go in and manually clean out the junk. I give Norton a 4 because it is good but not free.
Review - Weather Pulse
2.10 Build 13 Beta (Aug 20, 2009)

These software publishers prey on unsuspecting novice PC users the same way internet lottery scammers prey on the old! Useless software taking up precious resources. What a waste. and people who download this should be forced to use Windows ME for 25 years.
Review - PowerDVD
9.0.2010.0 (Aug 18, 2009)

$70??!! Way too many free apps that are better or just as good or maybe not as good. Bottom line is that they are free. VLC has many video and audio tweaks to satisfy most of us. Stick to an expensive home theater solution if you need more than VLC to experience DVD or BluRay movies.
Comment - Google Chrome 4: Yes, it's fast, but is it usable?

Let me take this opportunity to say that I thoroughly enjoy BN because of all the knowledgeable people here who post comments. It is entertaining at times but most of all, very informative. Your comments provide insight and information to me, and hopefully to others, which help me make conclusions beneficial to my web existence. I visit a bazillion tech sites each day, using Firefox btw, but I get the most from here. I also like NGOHQ.com where intelligence is rampant.

It is great to read you agree that Chrome lacks the functionality through all of its development. I have harped on this so much that I thought I was banging my head against the wall here. I'm sure it will be a great browser when it's finished, just like Maryland. (inside joke for those who live in that state) I know this post may be a little off topic, but it's a compliment to all!

Bigsexy is right about personal choice in your browser. Most of you have seen my stupid posts about all the speed tests from BN, which puts Chrome in another universe, insulting our intelligence here on earth. Probably everyone here has tried them all, I know I have. I just prefer Firefox. That's not to say it's the best, it's just what I use and it's the best for me.

Wait a danggum minute! Did Hell freeze over? Was today a cold day in Hell? Did people in Hell finally get iced water? I must have died in a fiery car crash on the way home from work! There is no way, absolutely no way that BN is dissing Google, if even a little bit. That'll teach Google to be late with their monthly "make sure we get the best review" payment.

Finally someone with the kahonas to report the lack of functionality in Google. FINALLY!!! Scott is my hero! And to Google, Speed Kills!

Yes, it did strike a nerve and I apologize for the language. I'm just so fed up with the speed thing already, that's all.
