   Review - Start8

   1.16 (May 2, 2013)

   @tickleonthetum
   
   For one, I did some reading and confirm that
   U may be right in that the traditional start menu may not be there.
   Could be that they may still bring it back, it's not finalized. My review really
   Keys on that this software should still be free and Start Menu 8 is.
   
   You shouldn't get so
   Overly excited about someone else's reviews. Please
   Understand that we are all entitled to our opinions.

   Review - StartIsBack

   2.1 RC2 (Apr 29, 2013)

   1. Start Menu 8 is free. This is not.
   2. Wait for the 8.1 update to windows. It's free, this is not.
   3. See items one and two above.
   
   Total waste of money and time.

   Review - 9-lab Removal Tool x64

   1.0.0.14 Beta (Apr 26, 2013)

   Immediately detected the user account control (UAC) that comes with windows as a hack threat. Really? UAC was turned off on this machine administratively and intentionally, but it detected something that is built into the OS as a protective measure as a hack tool. That single function right there makes this tool utterly useless. Its solution is to "clean" the registry attached to it rather than notify as a "potential threat"... fix this, and we can take another look.

   Review - StartIsBack

   2.1 RC1 (Apr 23, 2013)

   A waste of time and money. MS is bringing the start menu back in the 8.1 update along with the ability to bypass the metro/modern UI.
   
   Save your money and wait.

   Review - Start8

   Windows 8.1 update (forthcoming) will return the start menu to Windows and will also give the alternative to boot to desktop rather than metro.
   
   this should have been freeware to begin with, but now it's just going to be uselessware once the update is released.

6. Comment - Julius Baer drops suit against Wikileaks

   The only reason for a person, persons, company or companies to have a problem with a whistleblower is that they were involved in wrong doing to begin with. With that in mind, the public by and large have the right to know. Don't put your hand in the cookie jar, and you will never get caught with it there.

7. Comment - Three Cellular Carriers Fined Over 911

   Um, you're not getting those phones for free, no matter what they tell you. You are in a contract that costs way more than you should have to pay for using phone service. Do you think you're really paying a fair price and getting what you're paying for? Keep telling yourself that. You WAY MORE than pay for those phones throughout the course of your contract. Try and cancel a contract and guess what? You get to pay a nice hefty cancellation fee. What do you think that fee is mostly for? You guessed it...to pay for that "free phone" you thought you got.
   
   Tracking people in 911 calls is not done by GPS.. it's done by cellular triangulation, and some other high technobabble.

8. Comment - Google Opens Gmail Signups Further

   1.15 (Feb 8, 2007 - 2:54 PM)

   Hotmail has the wonderful feature of setting up a white list that blocks out all emails from anyone except those that you specifically identify. Gmail doesn't have this. While the spam filter works fairly well, it still sickens me that the box fills up with close to 1500 spams over the course of 2 - 3 days. It wouldn't be a probolem with a configurable white list, which I've submitted requests for, but those requests seem to have fallen on "deaf ears, blind eyes"

9. Comment - Microsoft Rushes to Fix Critical XP Flaw

   1.15 (Jul 18, 2005 - 8:32 PM)

   If MS was informed in May, how can they say they're "rushing" to fix this? Shouldn't the patch have been made available at the very next set of updates? Oh yeah sure... 'they've been working on it'. Uh huh.

    that's why they call it a 'class action suit' and yes, UPS deserves to be made to pay for their incompetence. Over the past 5-10 years they've been damaging and losing packages at an alarming rate, and they've been delivering packages late by sometimes as much as a day or two. WHat many customers don't realize is that they are entitled to refunds for these late or lost packages. UPS and other shippers rely on this ignorance to keep the 4 billion or so annual dollars a secret so they will not have to pay it back.
