   Review - McAfee Stinger (32-bit)

   1.9.2 (Nov 16, 2003)

   Perfect for the recent worm/virus outbreaks!

   Review - Winamp 5 Full

   Beta 1 (Oct 17, 2003)

   People like melkor disgust me! The United States is a capitalist country. We shouldn't be so picky about what's free, and what costs money. Software developers do work just like everyone else, and thus they deserve money. You use Winamp, right? You like Winamp, right? Then quit complaining. If you don't like the program, then cite that as your reason for a poor rating. It's really childish of people to expect software (music, etc.) to be free.
   
   And now to my rating. Winamp5 is pretty sweet for its current stage of development. WMP9 is currently my favorite media player, but it doesn't hurt to have competition. Winamp5 will probably redeem itself over Winamp3, which is crap.

   Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

   5.5.3415 Beta (Sep 25, 2003)

   Trillian is way ahead of AOL IM. I tried to switch to AOL IM and MSN Messenger, but both clients suck compared to Trillian. These two companies will need to dramatically improve their IM clients to convince me to switch back.

   Review - jEdit for Windows

   4.2pre3 (Jul 31, 2003)

   I'm selecting the neutral rating in order to correct myself. It still deserves a 5, but I meant to say I'm switching from (G)VIM for Windows/Linux to jEdit.

   Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows

   7.02 (Jun 26, 2003)

   Netscape's a decent browser now, and I prefer it over Mozilla. IE is easily my favorite.

6. Comment - Sprint to charge smartphone users a $10 premium for data

   7.02 (Jan 19, 2011 - 2:50 PM)

   I feel better knowing all smartphones will be charged the extra $10, because I have a 4G smartphone and most of the time I don't get 4G coverage. I consider the overall value of Sprint's everything plans to be high compared to Verizon and AT&T.

7. Comment - Google announces Chrome OS hardware and first pilot program

   7.02 (Dec 7, 2010 - 6:50 PM)

   My understanding is it will be very different. With Android, the web browser is one of many locally-installed applications, and with Chrome OS, the web browser is the main locally-installed application.

   100MB of free data per month per user? Yeah, I would easily exceed that each and every day, and would therefore be better off with WiFi only.

9. Comment - Netflix foretells the future of content distribution with new streaming-only plan

   7.02 (Nov 30, 2010 - 12:58 PM)

   I disagree. The selection has much room for improvement, but that can be fixed over time.

10. Comment - Hulu Plus launches at lower price with broader device support

    7.02 (Nov 17, 2010 - 7:20 PM)

    I need Hulu to support Android.
