   Review - Skype for Windows

   4.0.0.215 (Mar 16, 2009)

   Must agree with the previous poster: unless you have a very good reason, sit pat with 3.8 until Skype does its inevitable reversal and introduces a "classic" mode into 4.0 which allows it to ape 3.8's look and feel (which begs the question of why 4.0 exists in the first place, but apparently there are some improvements with the audio codec, etc).
   
   And if you use chat a lot, forget 4.0 entirely. Gone is the helpful chat style where you had ample room to type and history was well laid out and color coded all in one space-saving package.

   Review - DD-WRT

   v24 SP1 (Jan 6, 2009)

   Note: SP1 was released months ago and is not considered to be one of their better milestone versions. If you can't wait until SP2, go to their forum and find a post which mentions the latest pre-SP2 version, which are considered better even in beta.

   Review - XviD

   1.2.0 (Dec 2, 2008)

   Isn't h.264 better than both? I don't know, I'm asking.

6. Comment - Pale Moon 5 outshines sibling Firefox 5

   1.2.0 (Jun 25, 2011 - 9:09 PM)

   Someone needs to explain to me the part about removing ActiveX support, since if Firefox actually has such support, which it says that it does not, it's done an amazing job of hiding it.

   Let's face it though, they were Opera's "answer" to extensions. What Opera did because they refused to do extensions. On that basis, they're a total failure. One is infinitely more useful than the other.

   PC_Tool, that is not true. Opera's urlfilter.ini system does in fact stop the ads from being downloaded. You're perhaps confusing it with the other way of blocking ads in Opera, which does only hide them: CSS.

9. Comment - Tests: Firefox 3.1 JavaScript outpaced by Safari 4, Google Chrome

   For your element blocking needs in Opera, try this. Fanboy does a great job maintaining both lists:

10. Comment - Microsoft's 'Telescope' to compete with Google 'Sky'

    1.2.0 (May 12, 2008 - 10:26 PM)

    An idea for someone: a site/blog post which lists Google projects that MS has baldly copied. It's a long and increasingly incredible list.
