   Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

   7.0 Final (Oct 18, 2006)

   Not bad.
   Not good either lol.
   1. CSS support is still just absurd. Why have a IE standard considering more and more people's been using Firefox, and a lot more sites are optimized for Firefox? (Although a LOT of Japanese sites here I've seen detects non-IE browsers, and simply blocks the user, and I mean sites with few million visitors per day).
   2. still a bit awkward, and it seems slower than 5.5 or 6.0. Rather look like a IE4.0 update. Hope a new version would come out that's significantly lighter than this. (it's not my comp's slow, but opening 50+ tabs is just .. slow)
   3. Couldn't Microsoft come up with something more original? The browser ain't bad I agree, but nothing new..

   Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

   1.2.37.2 Beta (Apr 8, 2006)

   it's fairly okay...
   I mean I find it a bit lighter than the MSN Live one, which takes up considerable amount of memory on my computer.
   But still, I'm impressed that aburton261 ran this thing on a 1.4mhz computer... just amazing.

   Review - Winamp 5 Full

   5.2 (Mar 8, 2006)

   I'm curious. how much RAM does winamp cost on you guys' systems ?
   It takes up 4Mb on my computer minimized, and 6Mb when in modern skin mode. I just wonder how much does it take on you guys' computers. I use foobar sometimes because it's really light I agree, but when loading songs with Chinese, Japanese, and English file names, sometimes it freezes up the whole computer and it's a bit annoying sometimes. Winamp's at least play the songs right, although sometimes the display encoding is a bit screwed up.

   Review - Opera for Windows

   7.50 (May 24, 2004)

   It has gone a lot better than the last time I checked it. The HTML/Scripts support is a lot better than I expected. Although I DO like to give it a 5, the rendering is not fast enough (Normal page rendering is similar with Internet Explorer, of course faster than Netscape/Mozzila/Firefox, Big page rendering becomes slower than IE by a bit, although table rendering doesn't have that IE problem) Not only that, the startup is quite slow. On my 2.8GHz machine, it takes nearly a second to load up the browser...if anyone knows how to make it faster tell me, because other than that, it's gone quite competitive with IE, even for me as a homepage developer.

   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v2) for Windows

   0.8 (Feb 9, 2004)

   as a beta, i rate it as 4 because it is easy to configure, and no need for tweaking. but the bad part is that it's slower than internet explorer (when loading up big pages, there is a VERY OBVIOUS difference) and other than tables (which Internet Explorer has a BIG bug), it is not compatible with some standards... I know that Netscape is based off Mozilla, but Mozilla should port to Netscape more often to let it support more things, or else i can only view really simple pages (XML support is quite good though, since most XML pages I made is more accurate in FireFox, Firebird than Internet Explorer 6.0, 5.0 (5.5 is good for some reason i don't know).

6. Comment - Opera 11.10 releases after about a month in beta

   LOL, what kind of country got a limit on cellular internet bandwidth.

7. Comment - Sony's Vaio P: Slim and sexy, but don't call it a 'netbook'

   0.8 (Jan 16, 2009 - 2:43 AM)

   I got hold of a test machine, and my honest first impression is that I wished that they made it just a bit smaller. The keyboard is surprisingly easy to type. I don't know how thick finger the author got if that middle dot interferes with typing. AERO is disabled so it's pretty fast even with VISTA, it definitely beats my ASUS Eee by speed. I mean, seriously I cannot watch crap on that ASUS thing. I can surf the net fine, but watch DVDs, it'll start skipping. Watch Blu-rays? I haven't even dreamed about that lol

   man.
   these encryptions make forensic works so tough.

9. Comment - Analyst: Blu-ray prices will nosedive for the holidays

   I am using Blu-ray as backups, but, the thing is that 1TB harddrives got so cheap, and blank BR-discs haven't dropped much in price, putting the cost efficiency at HDD >> Blu-ray.

    35 for a brd? I don't know where you live but I pay 50-70 dollars (5000-7000JPY) for my blu-ray release discs...
