   Review - CCleaner for Windows

   3.15.1643 (Jan 25, 2012)

   No more slim build as of 3.15? Ugh... I remember installing a regular build maybe 6 months ago and accidentally installed Chrome... It borked up my Win7 box when I uninstalled and it's still not fixed... I love CCleaner but can only give it 4 stars for the crap it installs. And yes, I know you can uncheck stuff... It may not be rational, but I can never give it 5.

   Review - Dropbox

   1.0.6 RC (Dec 15, 2010)

   This program works really well. You can verify a student email address and retroactively double your referral bonus storage space. The link for that is:

   Review - TrueCrypt

   7.0 (Jul 20, 2010)

   Must have for anyone concerned about the security of their files. I use it on my USB flash drive for carrying around important files wherever I go, without worrying about losing the drive (shudder at the thought).

6. Comment - Why wait until tomorrow, when you can download Firefox 6 today

   Anyone know why the close buttons on tabs in Firefox 6 is flaky? Sometimes they are there, sometimes they aren't.

7. Comment - How much more are you willing to pay Netflix?

   I was grandfathered and paying $19.99 for 4-DVDs and streaming. I got an email from Netflix saying I will be paying the full $29.98. All previous price increases included grandfathered price differences. No longer. This is something I haven't seen published in any article about this price increase. Grandfathered plan holders have the highest increase of all. I started my subscription in January 2000.

8. Comment - Which Firefox should you use -- 5, 6, 7 or 8?

   Chrome is evil. I installed CCleaner and by accident let it install Chrome. I immediately uninstalled and I get errors when clicking on .html files now. I've re-installed IE8 and nothing has helped. This is on Windows 7... Thanks Google. I'll never leave Firefox... The king!

   Hope you didn't buy an Android phone... LOL
