3.65.01 Beta (Feb 28, 2012)
I installed it on a friend's computer. He's running win7 on it and he has the bad habit of killing it because of the sites he likes to visit. Just think big b***b dot com. :P Now I'm hoping he will use the tray icon to launch his browser. If there was only one thing I could change it absolutely would be to have a large desktop widget instead of or with a tray icon just for better ease of use.

I'm having so many problems with Avant that I will do what I never expected to do, give it a review of only 1.
When it opens it does NOT open the home page. Sometimes it will simply go half black on the screen. The close tab on the tabs don't work. When set as the main driver it does not respond to when I click an email link as it would normally do. Even THIS release is the same.
On this computer I'm using XP Pro with service pack 3. On an other computer I use Win7 and I still have problems there.
Those problems happen no matter what rendering engine I use.
At least Orca is still working... for now.

The following question isn't me trying to be funny but being dead serious. At the moment I'm rebuilding a friend's eMachine's Win7 desktop computer from the sytem restore disks. Why? Because he messed up his operating sytem so much that I had no other choice left. He likes going to bigboobs sites. Will Sandboxie help ME from having to rebuild his operating system all over again? I'll be installing, of course, Avast and then Comodo firewall. Anything else? This should tell you how tired I am of his messing up his computer. :P

Downloaded and played with it. It's a mini gold mine. Very easy to use and the only limit is your imagination.

While I don't need this program for myself I do have to rate it at the very least a 10 for originality! Of course we all know people that, unlike ourselves are totally adicted to the web, right?

Anonymity is something I cherish. Joining a social network using anonymity isn't wrong and it certainly doesn't mean I have nefarious intentions by doing so. . It only means I can break my anonymity by my own choice with only the people I feel I can do so. Kushan and PrivateOne more than complete what else I could have added.

"Google Protects You"
It does? How about I decide who the hell protects me or not? How about all those supposedly secure websites that can't even keep secure? My point is simply that what Google just has said is that because I would want to use anonymity on the web that I am a potential criminal. Since I don't want my reply deleted I won't go on saying exactly what I think of this article praising lord google.

I have to agree with Aires. Here's an idea. Sell a copy of Windows 8 for $10. It would work for, lets say 4 months or so. It would make it possible for Microsoft to iron out most of the problems people are inflicted upon from never used before operating systems. Think Windows Me and Vista.
Yes, I do know that operating systems are released as betas but it simply isn't the same as REAL people using an operating system and shake out all the bugs. Why? Because beta users usually know what not to do to mess up a program, while people, like me, will usually find a way of breaking the unbreakables.

For some strange reason I have no tears to shed for SONY. After all, weren't they the b'tards that decided it was a good thing to install rootkits on people's computers and deny doing so? They are simply getting their just slice of the pie.

Stuck with a 35mm lens??? I learned how to take worthy pictures with a similar camera(it was film, though :P). With it I learned about "hyperfocal" and how it made for focus perfect pictures. I also learned about creativity and composition because of the imposed restrictions a "point and shoot" camera has.
Look, an SLR is an awesome camera but using a camera like that one is a whole different way of thinking, creating, composing. Even when I finally got an SLR camera with multiple lenses I still loved using a 35mm lens. So, stuck you said? If only I could afford that camera...
