   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v3.6 Namoroka) for Windows

   3.6 Beta 3 (Nov 18, 2009)

   Here is the definition for Beta for those who complain that this kind of software is crap.
   
   Preliminary or testing stage of a software or hardware product.

   Review - Google Desktop for Windows

   5.9.911.3589 (Nov 18, 2009)

   Google? Might as well give them your SS # because they know everything else you do. -10

   Review - TuneUp Utilities 2010

   9.0.2010.11 (Nov 15, 2009)

   This software, and others like it, is for people who know nothing about computers and don't want to know anything except check their e-mail and play solitaire. Should be worthless crap to anyone who reads BetaNews. Minus 10 stars if it was there.

   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.

6. Comment - A real beta process at work: Mozilla fires up Firefox 3.6 Beta 2

   9.0.2 (Nov 15, 2009 - 11:17 AM)

   Well, blah blah blah. The new Safari is now blah blah blah blah already. Blah blah Chrome is more blah blah blah than blah blah was yesterday. FF beta is the most blah blah blah in the blah blah now that it has blah. Of course IE8 is the blahest of them all because of the blah blah in its blah blah. My question is, where is the graph that shows all this blah blah. Wyzo and Opera are pretty much blah blah now that FF is now blahest. Of course I use FF cause I'm feeling blah today.

7. 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.

   Great post guru, you head it smack on top of the nail head.

    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!
