  1. Review - Winamp Standard

    2.81 (Aug 23, 2002)

    Nice to see they're still updating the 2.x line.

  2. Review - nVIDIA EarthViewer 3D

    1.0 (Jul 3, 2002)

    Damnit, if you can't get the program to work because their authentication server is overloaded then don't give it a rating at all. Once I finally got registered I found this program to be one of the most amazing pieces of software to ever cross my hard drive. They just need to refine the interface a bit.

  3. Review - Winamp Full

    2.80a Updated (May 16, 2002)

    ahh, good ol' Winamp. Nearly perfect player so it gets five points for that ... but, it installs AOL icons all over the place, so minus a point for that.

  4. Review - VerbalAI

    1.0 Beta Build 200202240404 (Mar 5, 2002)

    Considering it doesn't do anything and comes with no documentation I give this app a one. Yes, lots of AI innovation here ::rolleyes::

  5. Review - Mandriva Linux

    8.2 Beta 3 (Feb 21, 2002)

    Mandrake is most definately the best distro for newbies, but only because of its installer. This still uses RPM, a terrible package management system. It's bloated, no matter if you tell it to install just a few things or not ... the system takes forever to boot even on this 1.5GHz/512MB machine.

    If you want Linux, choose Debian. I just wish Debian would make a better graphical installer (which I hear will be in Woody)

  6. Comment - ICQ Goes Lite in New Alpha

    8.2 Beta 3 (Jul 3, 2002 - 12:47 AM)

    Though nobody uses it, Sonork is by far the best IM client and protocol.

  7. Comment - PalmSource Ships Palm OS 5

    8.2 Beta 3 (Jun 23, 2002 - 9:15 PM)

    Work on PalmOS 5 started long before the aquisition of Be. So, I doubt if much of anything made it in. PalmOS6, perhaps, if the company survives that long.

  8. Comment - Microsoft Releases First DirectX 9 Beta

    8.2 Beta 3 (Jun 1, 2002 - 1:28 AM)

    Games get progressively better in look and features, don't they? Well, some of that can be attributed to the fact that DirectX makes it much simpler to create the games you play. Each release adds new features ... you may not know the difference, but those developing your games sure do.

  9. Comment - Apple Unveils New iPod, Contacts Software

    8.2 Beta 3 (Apr 2, 2002 - 7:28 PM)

    It's not really rediculus when you consider that the drives in the iPod cost a freakin fortune for their capacity. You pay for the portability, as always.

  10. Comment - StreamCast Issues New Morpheus, Draws Harsh Criticism

    8.2 Beta 3 (Mar 5, 2002 - 1:48 PM)

    I never particularly cared for Morpheus so this comes as no surprise to me. For all you Morpheus exiles, download Direct Connect ... it r0x0rz your b0x0rs =)
