  1. Review - Opera (32-bit) for Windows

    9.0 Build 8031 Technology Preview 1 (Oct 20, 2005)

    I've experimented with Opera a few times and downloaded it again when it went free. Somehow I can't get my head around using the thing - maybe I'm dumb or something but the transition from IE to Firefox for me was seamless, but I just find myself struggling with Opera from a useability perspective - it's just not as intuitive IMO. Pity 'cause it does appear to render pages faster than Firefox or IE (on my machine at least). I can see it's a great product - I just wonder how many others will have a similar experience to me...

  2. Review - iTunes Art Importer

    0.9.2 (Nov 26, 2004)

    Great app - but only works OK for a few albums then seems to hang (and leak memory) on my machine at least?

  3. Comment - Office 2008 for Mac hits store shelves

    0.9.2 (Jan 17, 2008 - 9:28 PM)

    "Meanwhile, Apple's new iWork suite sells for $79, or $99 for a family license"

    You pays for what you gets. :-)

    And using the word failure in the context of Office is laughable given it's impact on computing generally and dominance in the market. Love it or hate it maybe but failure? I don't think so...
