   Review - HoverIP

   1.0 Beta (Jun 11, 2004)

   Ever since win98 I've pined for a winipconfig replacement; this one's pretty good. It also has port scanning and other goodies. One improvement/fix I'd recommend: the DNS server IP addresses run too closely together; they should be separated by commas or semicolons. Also a button to open network settings would be nice, but hey, now I'm just being picky. Well done!
   
   I did get the following error when I closed it during a port scan (easy to do if forget you started a lengthy scan):
   
   "Violation d'acces a l'adresse 00402FAC das le module 'HoverIP.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse FFFFFFFF."
   
   Then when I stopped the scan, the program closed. I tested this a bit and it seems consistent.
   
   It should probably refuse to close until all scans are stopped, or give an Are You Sure in such cases.
   
   Anyway, nice job. Five stars!

2. Comment - Jobs: Apple Not Worried About Zune

   1.0 Beta (Oct 16, 2006 - 5:10 PM)

   I think the Zune has features like radio that at least my Nano doesn't have. Apple is an advocate of the "Cult of Simplicity" that makes a feature out of not having features, so they would consider not having radio an actual advantage to the product.
   
   That said, both the Ipod and Zune are/will be overpriced, since an ILO player is $78 in Wal-Mart and has radio, voice recorder and an SD slot to expand from 1G to whatever you want. No video, though. This is a problem if you like watching video on a tiny screen while walking. Too many forehead contusions for me. :-)
