   Review - Weather Pulse

   1.53.6 Beta (Jun 5, 2003)

   This program is by far the best freeware weather program out there. It has a good interface, and has no advertisements. A must have if you like to keep an eye on the weather.
   
   --------------
   
   Also, here are instructions on how to get the program to use metric units:
   
   Metric can be displayed as follows.
   
   In Weather Pulse, go to weather.com, from the link at the bottom of the forecast page or the 10 day forecast page.
   
   Once there, scroll down past the 10 day forecast section. At the bottom the 10 day forecast are two radio buttons for
   English units or Metric Units Click on the Metric Units radio button.
   
   When you return to Weather Pulse, you selection will be displayed.
   
   If the cookie gets deleted, it will go back to US measurements, so don't let a cookie manager delete the cookie or you will have to do it all over again..

   Review - DC++

   0.173 (May 8, 2002)

   The program does what it claims to do, and does a fine job at it. The problem is that you can be sharing over 10gigs of files (good files not junk) and there will be very little to do, because you are still not sharing enough or you get "NO DC++"

   This program is great! I have not had any problems running it on XP. Almost all my d/ls started imediatly. The interface (albeit a little bit slow) is simple and nice. Overall it is a great program and will probably be replacing edonkey and kazaa for me.

5. Comment - Hulu finally comes to the TV with new $9.99 monthly subscription service

   1.12 (Jun 30, 2010 - 9:13 AM)

   I would consider it once device selection is expanded (Android and Xbox 360).
   
   HOWEVER, first and foremost they will need to start normalizing the audio levels on the commercials. I admit I have not used the service in several months, but last I did (and the reason I stopped) was that the commercials were pulling the same BS overblown audio that normal TV ones tend to do.
   
   I will NOT pay for the service regardless of features or platform availability until this is resolved.

6. Comment - The wireless data paradox: AT&T asks you to use less data

   1.12 (Dec 15, 2009 - 5:17 PM)

   What PC_Tool said.
   
   Though it is worth mentioning that ATT's unlimited data plans do actually have a 5GB limit on data. Check the fine print sometime.

7. Comment - EC still holds Intel accountable even after AMD settlement

   Especially not when there are American monies ripe for the taking by the EC.

8. Comment - The tipping point: iPhone users turn against AT&T

   1.12 (Jul 22, 2009 - 9:57 AM)

   Odd, I have not noticed any issues with AT&T's network.
   
   That said I have been able to use MMS and tethering for years using my HTC 3125 then again using the AT&T Tilt, now again on my HTC Fuze. I will admit that it took a long conveluted process to get the 3125 and the Tilt (before WinMo 6.1 was released) to get the tethering going. The Fuze however, works like a charm either via a direct USB connection or over Bluetooth. A2DP Bluetooth to my car stereo for playing music is quite nice too.
   
   All "taunting" aside. MMS and Tethering works for numerous other devices. It makes no sense that ATT can't get them going on the iPhone.

9. Comment - Microsoft claims a consumer 'shift' to 64-bit Vista, but where are the drivers?

   1.12 (Jul 31, 2008 - 4:11 PM)

   I bit the bullet and went from Vista Ultimate x86 to x64. I have yet to run into any major (or that many minor for that matter) issues.
   
   The only hiccup so far for me was that Adobe does not provide flash support for 64bit IE7. That is not Vista's fault though, and I did send a rather unfriendly email to Adobe asking them if they were aware that 64bit software has be available for quite a while, and if they were ever planning on getting with the times... Oh how I do miss Macromedia.
   
   Both my gaming and media center stuffs are working w/o issue. Which are my primary uses for this machine.
   
   However, I am presently having issue getting what have supposedly been 64-bit codecs to show up as a selection in WebGuide (the 32bit software I use to stream my live/recorded tv from Media Center.) Granted the default Microsoft ones seems to work fine, but I would prefer being able to tweak for the best stream quality possible.
