   Review - Vuze for Windows

   4.3.0.7 Beta 12 (Jan 8, 2010)

   Only way to make it remotely usable to run it in "Classic Skin" mode, then it kinda looks like µTorrent. Just takes up alot more resources... so no idea why people would bother with this if they can just use µTorrent in the first place.

   Review - K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

   seems there is a bug in here somewhere. everytime it tries to render a thumbnail for a mp4 file it crashes my Windows Explorer under Vista. Not very nice!

   no way... Joe Wilcox must be a made up character.. that Betanews invented to start controversy. there is no way u could possibly get a journalist that is this retarded. You don't post a ad to get stories... u go out and GET stories that RELATE to your readers interest.

   3.0.1b (Updated) (Jul 7, 2010 - 8:11 AM)

   indeed. everything would indicate that it is from Q1 2009. so not really relevant more than a year later. but thats the kinda news we expect from Joe around here... useless.

10. Comment - Windows Phone 7 is doomed

    3.0.1b (Updated) (Jul 5, 2010 - 8:17 AM)

    They'd never fire the retard, hes a gold mine for Betanews... guy probably single handily gets 50% of the hits for this site. just avoid anything that says "By Joe Wilcox".
