   Review - avast! Free Antivirus

   8.0.1488.286 (May 5, 2013)

   A wonderful AV. Highly recommended!

   Review - Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel

   2.0.1.1 (Apr 24, 2013)

   This thing is actually 10 years old and it doesn't support 64 bit Windows.

   Review - Miranda IM

   0.10.12 (Apr 5, 2013)

   The project is basically dead.
   
   Many required features aren't implemented (antispam, history view and management, etc), and plugins which implement them are buggy as hell.

   Review - Google Chrome (v27)

   27.0.1453.15 Beta (Apr 5, 2013)

   No cache settings, no history settings, no cookies settings, no proper adblock, live search engine results only for built-in search engines, eat lots of RAM ... but fast.
   
   3 for for fast, -2 for everything else.

6. Comment - This IE9 graph speaks for itself (in 93 languages)

   27.0.1453.15 Beta (May 26, 2011 - 9:17 AM)

   IE9 is a nice and fast browser, alas it doesn't have a built-in or even official adblock extension. The most famous free extension is Simple Adblock for IE (which I install on people's computers) hides ads _after_ downloading them and it's not fully compatible with Firefox Adblock+ filtersets.
   
   Its second most important problem is that most malware writers target it, however monthly Microsoft updates are absolutely not enough to keep you safe (even if you have an AV solution installed).

7. Comment - USB Immunizer: Last defense against auto-run malware?

   27.0.1453.15 Beta (Apr 29, 2011 - 3:22 PM)

   Windows XP, Vista and 7 now all include an update which completely disables autorun abilities for removable devices/storage (except for CD/DVD/BD disks).
   
   I don't see why anyone needs this software.

8. Comment - Technology's most blatant design copycats

   27.0.1453.15 Beta (Apr 1, 2011 - 4:46 PM)

   The same doesn't mean they actually copied one another's interface. Tabbed interface is very handy (no one has come with anything better) and all browsers are meant to browse the Web.
   
   Following your logic all text editors (not office suites) have almost the same interface. Why? Because they are all meant to edit text.

9. Comment - Apple's future without Steve Jobs won't be as bright

   27.0.1453.15 Beta (Jan 18, 2011 - 3:03 AM)

   Steve Jobs didn't himself create iPhone, iPads and all other devices Appled is famous for. He approved and directed his designers and engineers efforts in creating devices which conquered the market.
   
   And no, I don't think he's irreplaceable. Don't make God out of him.

10. Comment - Skype experiences global outage

    27.0.1453.15 Beta (Dec 23, 2010 - 8:05 AM)

    All the talk about 'supernodes' seems like a total BS for me.
    
    It seems like they have a totally different major problem which they cannot for some reasons reveal.
