   Review - Screenshot Captor

   2.90.01 (Feb 22, 2011)

   Wow PicPick !!! Thanks BoBad for your suggestion. I was using SSC but find its GUI not very convenient. With SSC, when the arrows & text are blend into the screenshot, the colors become washed out. Just tried PicPick, it's GUI, functions and image quality are better.

   Review - Microsoft Windows Virtual PC

   6.1.7600.16393 (Feb 12, 2011)

   VPC ?!?! Even a caveman will stay away from that crap. Here is one example: On 64 bits Windows OS, the CPU is 64 bits having VT capabilities. And yet, you cannot install a 64bits guest OS with VPC.

   Review - Adobe Reader for Windows

   9.3.4 (Aug 19, 2010)

   Higher security risk, lower functionality than PDF-XChange Viewer (freeware)

   Review - VirtualBox

   3.2.8.64453 (Aug 8, 2010)

   @UniversityofKentucky: Sorry if you know this already. Installing Guest Additions will fix your mouse issue for sure. May be will also improve USB. To install: Select Menu Devices and Select Install Guest Additions.
   
   If the Install doesn't start automatically, naviagate to file system, open the CD drive and run setup from there. Good lucks.

   Review - VirtualBox

   3.2.4.62467 (Jun 10, 2010)

   Here is one example to show how Virtualbox is amazing. A VM created by Hyper-V cannot be run by Microsoft own VPC (in addition, VPC cannot run VMs having 64bits guest OS). Virtualbox can open that Hyper-V VM image and run it directly WITHOUT any conversion. Even VMWare Workstation 7.1 ($200) cannot do such a feat.

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

   3.2.4.62467 (Aug 19, 2011 - 12:36 AM)

   This makes no sense! If HP kills the product 6 weeks after 1st release. Why waste all the resources to develop WebOS and to manufacture the TouchPad !?!?!

7. Comment - Google is right to demand people use real names

   3.2.4.62467 (Jul 25, 2011 - 6:44 PM)

   What if I am from a country where my name cannot be written or translated easily in alphabet? An alias would be much more convenient for everybody.

8. Comment - Are you one of the 20 million Google+ users?

   3.2.4.62467 (Jul 23, 2011 - 11:24 AM)

   This comparison is irrelevant b/c it ignores the notion of "diffusion of knowledge". Basically, people are already familiar with the concept of social network. G+ didn't need to build up the learning period.
   
   When Einstein published the General Relativity in 1915, shortly after many physicists around the world had already understood and developed new ideas around it. All of them skipped the 250+ years "learning period" since Newton's laws of Gravity.

9. Comment - Why tweet when you can chirp? Instantbird 1.0 multi-IM client is available

   3.2.4.62467 (Jul 5, 2011 - 12:07 PM)

   For Windows I think Miranda IM is excellent. For Linux, there are already Pidgin, Empathy. However it's worth to give Instantbird a try. Looks promising.

10. Comment - Chinese prisoners forced into WoW "goldmining" scheme, says detainee

    3.2.4.62467 (May 26, 2011 - 6:30 PM)

    I don't understand, how is it possible to earn real money just by sitting and playing a game?
