  1. Review - Mozilla Camino

    1.5 (Jun 6, 2007)

    simple, light-weight + fast = all that firefox is not on osx. have been using camino for a while; it's a promising alternative.

  2. Review - Microsoft Messenger for Mac

    6.0 (Sep 28, 2006)

    Terrible release! No support for nickname, video and proper offline sorting.
    Seems like this is a desperate release to keep the Mac community at bay again.
    Use Adium X instead!

  3. Review - Yahoo! Messenger for Mac OS X

    3.0 Beta 1 (Aug 2, 2006)

    Very solid release. Looks neat and does what it says. The only downside, although maybe out of range for the development of the program, is the lack of cross-platform access to for example MSN (cause, I mean, who uses Yahoo apart from us few Mac users, and that only because of the Webcam support...!)

  4. Review - Microsoft Windows Live Toolbar

    03.00.001.2038 (Jul 26, 2006)

    Doesn't integrate at all with my system. The only tool I can use is Onfolio Deskbar. The actual toolbar doesn't show up anywhere, nor can it be found under any IE7 or desktop settings...
    Onfolio is the only reason why I give it a 2 because it would be a nice tool - on the other hand also confusing though because RSS Feeds are already integrated into IE7...so why another tool for that?

  5. Review - Windows Live Messenger

    8.0.0566 Beta (Mar 21, 2006)

    Have tested the WLM for a bit now.
    - Very stable so far
    - Cleaned up the interface a little
    - Nickname option (finally!)
    - Hide tab option (finally!)
    - Added 'Folder Sharing' Feature
    - Added 'Windows Live Safety' Feature (mandatory for Folder Sharing)
    - Individual color adjusting of WLM interface
    - Calling feature (definite Skype competition)

    WLM should not be confuse with MSN - this is the follow up to WINDOWS Messanger which was originally intended for companies. I am guessing WLM will even in final overlap very much with MSN Messanger. (http://www.livemessenger.net/)

    Still need an invitation though please to hweiland@hotmail.com (currently only using a patch to run WLM) thx

    cheers.

  7. Comment - Fiat Puts Windows Mobile in New Cars

    8.0.0566 Beta (Feb 7, 2006 - 1:06 PM)

    The system mentioned is most likely not a final release as it will be seen at the car show.
    I give Microsoft credit for this attempt. Standard car media systems can/need to improve alot faster than they currently are doing. Especially voice-control is important in Europe. Using your mobile phone in the car is illegal in most EU states. Moreove, driving at 120mph it becomes difficult using current Media-systems that dont have touch screens nor voice control (I am speaking from experience with Audis and BMWs latest systems).
    This system could be a great step forward (although sadly with the wrong company (Fiat))
