Review - Pidgin for Windows
2.7.3 (Aug 11, 2010)

Back to five stars. I wish they had an automated update routine that would only update the necessary components.
Review - Google Chrome for Windows
6.0.472.11 Beta (Jul 29, 2010)

Why are the dev build and the beta build revision numbers the same, this is unlikely as development is different for each channel. Strange.

Chrome for personal browsing, Opera for work. Firefox is so bloated and heavy now, I will not use it so I can't say how good it actually is now.

If you don't want privacy issues but still want the speed of Chrome I suggest using Iron or ChromePlus..ChromePlus is the best variation of Chrome but was behind in development last I checked

I am currently running 6.0.472.11 dev and have not had any issues, fast and stable.
Review - Wild Media Server
0.73 (Apr 19, 2010)

This is without a doubt the best UPnP media streamer that I have had the pleasure to use. I have thoroughly tried to use uShare, fuppes (this shares code with), PMS, twonky, etc..etc and this trumps them all.

Do yourself a large favor and try this, I am thankful to the developer for this gem and hope to see even more come of this wonderful application. I commend you for your hard work and thank you for giving it to the people.

Five Stars w/never before given bonus Star = 6 stars
Review - Pidgin for Windows
2.6.6 (Apr 16, 2010)

Pidgin is great, it's feature rich, spell checks, nice amount of plugins, opensource, and crashes every single time my tethered PC loses connection.

Had to switch to something else until this issue is resolved. I suppose a bug report is in order.

Four stars until usable again.
Review - PasteCopy.NET
0.9.7.4 (Apr 15, 2010)

This is a beta release of software that was written in dot net, why are you complaining about it being written in dot net?

I commend the author, I emailed him and the same day he emailed me back asking more about my suggestions. This is freeware and works excellent other than a few bugs here and there, I can tell from experience that most any software that deals with the Windows API can be buggy not because of the application but because of the API itself.

I think that people that give software on fileforum a low rating because it is based on dot net should be banned from posting comments for a month. Give it a low rating because it sucks not because your view of the runtime it uses.

Oh and so you know, I hate dot net also.......I will use Delphi 7 until I die or compatibility does.

Five stars to your hard work Geir, don't listen to the bad reviews on here ever.

This is a fail any way you look at it.

@Joe Wilcox
I agree with PC_Tool, research your articles more thoroughly.

0.9.7.4 (Sep 21, 2010 - 3:26 PM)

Nice...people may purchase this if it were android based. Who the hell wants a LTE feature phone running some TouchWiz BADA junk?
Comment - Betanews readers offer mixed reactions to IE9
0.9.7.4 (Sep 21, 2010 - 3:17 PM)

Well said.

What 80 applications?
Comment - A BlackBerry browser with a 100% Acid3 score: RIM finally picks up the Torch
0.9.7.4 (Feb 17, 2010 - 1:14 PM)

Well I've been using Opera Mini for 2 years on various Verizon blackberrys and it does %80 of what it needs to do, Bolt browser is decent for the lacking %20 of Opera Mini 4.2....Opera Mini 5 B2 is a joke of an update in my opinion...slow, failed downloads, slow menus, slow, slow...

Browsing on a blackberry is a joke period, until something substantially changes (CPU speeds, better OS) it will remain so.
