  1. Review - BurnAware Free

    2.1.5 (Oct 28, 2008)

    Amazing Piece of Software. Small size and does everything the majority of users need it to do. Just note that it does not support CD copying unless you buy the home version.

    Works just fine on my Vista Business SP1 machine.

  2. Review - Google Chrome for Windows

    0.2.149.27 Beta (Sep 2, 2008)

    Damn thing won't install properly on my Vista Business box. In fact, UAC never even prompts me to allow the install, which makes me a little suspicious.

    The program will open followed by a few errors, then a "Aw snap" window from Google.

  3. Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

    7.5.488a1138 (Sep 20, 2007)

    Nice app, free of charge, updates quickly, and uses very few resources.

    Gets a 4 since it detected a false positive on my box.

  4. Review - Core FTP Lite

    2.0 (Aug 13, 2007)

    Fast, simple, efficient, FREE. I've been looking for something like this ever since WS_FTP went corporate. Great little program.

  5. Review - Ubuntu

    7.10 Alpha 3 (Jul 19, 2007)

    By far my favourite linux distro. Let's put it this way - the add/remove feature makes it so EASY to install thousands of applications that any newbie would feel right at home. Works great, no DRM, and has some very cool 3D compiz effects.

    My only complaint is this OS eats through the battery on my Toshiba M70 laptop. Even Vista lasts longer but I'm still giving it a 5.

  6. Comment - Elance data breaches by parties unknown (but possibly Ukranian)

    7.10 Alpha 3 (Jul 17, 2009 - 12:21 PM)

    Try spell check. UKRAINIAN.

  7. Comment - Microsoft on Win7 UAC: 'Take the emotions out of the discussion'

    7.10 Alpha 3 (Feb 6, 2009 - 12:41 PM)

    @ Floodland: Um, Windows has had a taskbar for an awful long time. Meanwhile, Mac OS used to give you a list of apps running in the top right corner. Then OS X came out and the "dock" was unveiled. Where the hell do you think they got this mind blowing concept from? Yes they added their own ideas to it, much like Microsoft has done with the Superbar in Win 7, but don't be ignorant to the facts.

  8. Comment - The Dell surprise: Higher earnings on lower revenue

    7.10 Alpha 3 (Nov 21, 2008 - 5:48 PM)

    He's just spewing crap. My company uses Dell and they've been absolutely bullet-proof. Amazing corporate support when you have questions or need custom hardware too. Even the Dell computers/laptops my family has purchased (and beaten the hell out of) have never had any problems.

  9. Comment - Mac users flaming over FireWire; Jobs shrugs

    7.10 Alpha 3 (Oct 17, 2008 - 4:32 PM)

    I think it's funny how Steve Job's could care less about losing customers in his email reply. Arrogant prick.

  10. Comment - New Nintendo DSi handheld to launch in November

    7.10 Alpha 3 (Oct 2, 2008 - 1:28 PM)

    I've read rumblings of protection from homebrew and whitelists etc. Either way, new flash cards will come out for this unit. Give it a month (those crazy hackers).
