  1. Review - Microsoft Silverlight for Windows

    3.0.40818.0 (Sep 2, 2009)

    Silverlight is a top notch RIA platform. For your dancing monkeys stick with Flash. Otherwise move aside...

  2. Review - Notepad++

    5.4.4 (Jul 6, 2009)

    Top notch text editor. Just worried that at some point the features will tip the scale to being bloated. So far so good...

    @dhry: In case you don't do this yet - You might be better off to report bugs in the developer's forum than on some 3rd party site (BN)

  3. Review - Notepad++

    5.2 (Feb 9, 2009)

    Top program. Many enhanced features but trivial and fast to use even doe simple tasks.

    Note: Please do NOT waste development time in favor or other tasks on making a Win9x installer as another reviewer requested. There is a workaround for this dead OS and it should be good enough.

  4. Review - Notepad++

    5.1.1 (Nov 24, 2008)

    What is it with the Trojan detected by AVG in the 5.1 distribution? Anyone else notice this?

  5. Review - Google Chrome for Windows

    0.3.154.9 Beta (Oct 29, 2008)

    It's really irritating that it's so difficult to come by a changelist. Or is that scored on BNs behalf?

  6. Comment - You bought HP TouchPad, it's discontinued, now what?

    0.3.154.9 Beta (Aug 19, 2011 - 8:49 AM)

    If Apotheker wasn't European I'd say trying to pull off inventing a WebOS tablet against iOS and Android was typical arrogant American ignorance. I was baffled all along.

    These are not cheap devices. If tablets would go for 100 bucks, fine. You just get the one you prefer and there would be a place for everybody. But these things cost as much or more to own and produce than some consumer laptops - and barely have a use besides 'media consumption'.

    Why on earth would anyone drop that kind of cash on a fringe product, when there are conceptually identical alternatives with orders of magnitude more reach?

  7. Comment - Nielsen: Most Android apps used sparingly

    0.3.154.9 Beta (Aug 19, 2011 - 8:37 AM)

    For one thing, Android browsers are superior. Heck, besides stock we have FireFox, Opera, Dolphin and others - most of which support Flash. I prefer to use the web instead of apps when possible - things only get better with HTML5. It's ridiculous what kind of apps people install on their devices, with functions available on simple x-platform web sites.

  8. Comment - Too soon to call HP's TouchPad a failure? We'll see tonight

    0.3.154.9 Beta (Aug 18, 2011 - 2:14 PM)

    The rest of the web seems to be talking about HP releasing a faster and 'bigger' version...

  9. Comment - Larry Page has got some kind of balls to buy Motorola Mobility

    0.3.154.9 Beta (Aug 15, 2011 - 11:12 PM)

    I don't think so. Google is not a hardware company. The more pervasive their platform, the better for them. Having their own mobile devices will result in overall quicker time to market and the better their understanding of the end-to-end product.

  10. Comment - Larry Page has got some kind of balls to buy Motorola Mobility

    Wow. My opinion of JW is negligible and as a consequence I hardly visit this site any longer. However, this post is thoroughly inappropriate and I hope you get booted. If you need to deal with your insecurity you can always drop your pants and bend over in the Tenderloin.
