  1. Review - Adobe Reader for Windows

    10.1.1 (Dec 5, 2011)

    +1 concerning bloatware... There ARE alternatives that are light and that WORK, such as Foxit PDF Reader.

    I HATE tyrant corporations like Adobe with its in-your-face-we-know-what's-best-for-you attitude... I have well protected, thank you Adobe and STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT UPGRADING ALREADY!!!

    "those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither". Remember this...

  2. Review - Opera (32-bit) for Windows

    11.50.1074 (Jul 2, 2011)

    A Step Backwards, design needs to be re-examined

    It may be fast, but for the first time in a long while (I have been using Opera since the pay-for days 12 years ago), I am reverting to a previous version. Not being able to save pictures in ebay-cgi pictures is a deal breaker for me.

    There is enough already with Yahoo mail not working right, Google reducing functionality to Google Search (try to specify an image size for image search, for example) and other reduced functionalities that have accumulated over the past couple of years.

    Fortunately with Opera I still have the choice to revert to a better version instead of downgrading, unlike what Google, Yahoo and the rest of 'The Cloud' is imposing upon its users.
