  1. Review - The GodFather

    0.71 Beta 1 (Sep 5, 2005)

    great program, but for me it's unusable without unicode support (which it hasn't).

  2. Review - Google Talk

    1.0.0.64 Beta (Aug 24, 2005)

    This is no AIM or MSN, but there are many subtle and nice features. The "user is typing", "foldable chatwindows", "the way messages are displayed", the way status messages are handled are very nice and imho better than the competition.

    However, the: lack of filetransfers, no emoticons, no changing ones name, lack of configurability, no timestamps on each line in a conversation are drawbacks. And I kinda like the msg plus send-sounds that would be dearly missed from msn should I change now. They should also integrate the chat-logging to gmail.

    It's kind of a "back to basics" client.

  3. Review - Gmail Notifier for Windows

    1.0.25.0 (Aug 5, 2005)

    great and basic. But WHY does it have to require a "Yes" press each time Windows start!

  4. Review - ALZip

    6.03 Beta (Jun 10, 2005)

    It's a good free archiver. I still prefer TUGZip (www.tugzip.com), which is also free and more closely mimics the WinRAR/WinZip interface....and I translated TUGZip into Danish, so maybe I'm biased :)

  5. Review - Vuze for Windows

    2.3.0.0 (May 3, 2005)

    You can get sun java update 3 here at betanews...just search for it :)

  6. Comment - Skype Opens Up IM Portion of Client

    2.3.0.0 (Aug 25, 2005 - 2:13 AM)

    I wonder if this means that other IM clients like the newly released Google Talk (or the multiprotocol Trillian, GAIM and the likes) can integrate SkypeNet for even more multiprotocol-bliss

  7. Comment - Napster Japan Coming in 2006

    2.3.0.0 (Aug 4, 2005 - 12:23 AM)

    Looks like Apple "won"

  8. Comment - Plug-In Raises Firefox Security Doubts

    2.3.0.0 (Jul 20, 2005 - 2:30 AM)

    yeah have "certification" in a sense that you can only add extensions that are posted on addons.mozilla.org withtout actively having to "open" access to get extensions from other sites.

    But the article is misleading. The problem lies not in the extensionsarchitecture but in the extension itself. And the way it has been created you would have to go OUT OF YOUR WAY to install a malicious extension

  9. Comment - Apple's Mac OS 'Tiger' Ready to Pounce

    2.3.0.0 (Apr 29, 2005 - 10:19 AM)

    PearPC works ok, if you know how to set it up

  10. Comment - Google Extends More Gmail Invites

    2.3.0.0 (Feb 8, 2005 - 2:36 AM)

    This is smart marketing. If you have 50 invites, you can convince people to use gmail much better than Gmail can (and waaaaay cheaper). So this is really smarter than opening it up to the public (for now).
