   Review - µTorrent for Windows

   3.1.2.26726 (Feb 7, 2012)

   @Uriel
   4kb?!?! That's amazing(ly untrue). If you're talking resources, Tixati uses about half of these bloated versions of utorrent and twice as much as the older ones which is between 8k kb and 15k kb. If you're talking program size, the compressed exe is 8mb, the portable after removing the other OS versions is still 15mb.
   
   Like I said before, it is cumbersome and buggy. It's interface has too many buttons imo. I just tried downloading a torrent and it froze on the selection window and made my system unresponsive while it was trying to figure things out. That never happens to me with any version of utorrent. It also never seems to find as many peers and seeds
   
   I'm a privacy advocate myself but just because Tixati is positioned as an alternative doesn't make it good. It's a problematic piece of software at this point but I remain hopeful.
   
   The best performer for me is still the pre-version 2 utorrent

   Review - µTorrent for Windows

   3.1.2.26710 RC4 (Feb 4, 2012)

   My last review as well. Tixati is a little cumbersome with it's performance and responsiveness for me.
   
   As for this, I've had to force start downloads since the 2 branch otherwise they simply don't start. It's size and resource consumption has jumped off the charts when compared to 1x.
   
   Good bye and good riddance

   Review - Opera (v12)

   12.00.1272 Beta (Feb 1, 2012)

   Same issues with sessions. Crashes every time

   Review - Opera (v12)

   12.00.1256 Beta (Jan 31, 2012)

   This is the lowest rating I've ever given Opera.
   
   After upgrading Opera would crash on start every time when a session is enabled. The crash dialogue displays the last page/tab that was open even when choosing to restart without tabs, unite or extensions.
   
   Version 12 snapshots have been very disappointing and this is the worst of the lot for me

   In my experience the word sycophant better describes Mozilla fans
   
   EDIT
   Build 1272 has been released and has the same problem. Opera's quality is starting to slip as they seem more interested in innovating rather than just making it work

   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v10) for Windows

   10.0 (Jan 31, 2012)

   I really wish Opera would work on the sites that this and Chrome do so I can stop needing 2 browsers.
   
   With Google's draconian views on privacy I'd rather this or Pale Moon be my number 2 but in spite of the glowing sentiments here, this browser simply does not perform nearly as well as the other 2. Page loading times and resource consumption have always been an achilles and wild version number jumping aside, they still are.

6. Comment - You bought HP TouchPad, it's discontinued, now what?

   Now the psp door stop has company.
   
   No surprise really. There's a reason why most thought the ipad would fail and it's because most people really don't want a tablet they can limp wrist their way about with. It's just that apple zealots will buy anything apple therefore giving the illusion that tablets would be a success.
   
   I do feel bad for those who bought this though, sucks to be left holding the tab so soon.
