I've quite enjoyed my expansive, FREE email from Google. If it's down for a few hours, so what?! How often has this happened anyway? If one is really *that* reliant on their email then they shou ...

Just give iTunes the boot. I use MediaMonkey for sync'ing and Amazon for my MP3s. Then use any media player you want. MM will sync just about anything -- including the iPod and iPhone! ...

I'll still take my Asus 1000HE over the Dell -- better proc., bigger HD, easily upgradable to 2GB RAM. Oh yeah, and a score of 9 in the June MPC. ...

I guess I'll be upgrading (replacing) my Asus 1000HE netbook soon. ...

Posted 03/11/2009 at 07:50:29am
It appears this patch Tuesday killed my Exchange server. Got in this morning to a ntoskrnl.exe missing or corrupt error. Yeah, happy day. At least that's my only server M$ took out this morning. ...

On the recommendation of MPC, I've started using Dropbox. Though I never used the Yahoo service, Dropbox's free 2GB storage option sounds like a good alternative. ...

I was sick of waiting for the US debut of the mini 10. Given the pricing and the need to "upgrade" to the 1.6, I'm happy I just ordered an Asus 1000HE. I got a N280 1.66GHz proc, 802.11n ...

Agreed. But they still show web standards compliance, which was my point. I was a diehard Opera user for years. Regardless, I'll stick with FF 3.1b for now. ...
Posted 02/20/2009 at 08:42:53am
If you think the issue is IE8 enforcing standards compliance, why does RC1 fail the Acid 3 test so miserablely?Scoring only a 20/100. Especially when FF3.1b2 scores a 92/100. And Opera 10 scores a p ...

I've avoided deploying Vista on my network. I had one user forced to use Vista back when MS forced it on a Dell laptop. When this user experienced problems prompting a complete rebuild, we happily ...

Why suggest a trial version of WinRAR when 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) is a free, opensource archive manager? Not to mention a native 64-bit Windows build of 7-zip is also available, which is not the case ...

My install of Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 scores 91/100 on the Acid3 test. It sure looks like the Mozilla folks are shooting for a perfect score to better compete with the new Opera. ...

While a TiVo/Netflix deal would be awesome, I'd just be happy to get HD content from the Amazon service TiVo has already partnered with. I hesitate to download movies through Amazon on my TiVo since ...
Snap-On racheting on Maximum PC Gets Screwed So You Don't Have To: Ultimate Screwdriver Review Roundup
Posted 09/24/2008 at 10:27:00am
I know you guys used/reviewed the Snap-On SSDMR4B (in orange) at some point. This ratcheting, multiple bit driver is exactly what I use every day for PC repair. Even at close to $60, I wouldn't he ...

Considering my FiOS U/L speed is only about 5Mbps, I assume the median upload speed in the US wasn't supposed to be 435Mbps, but instead 435Kbps, right? ...

These AVG comments are funny (or maybe it's Grisoft). Considering the AVG ad on page 13 of the June 2008 issue of MPC states "70 million people switched to AVG 8.0 because it protects from online thr ...

Agreed. I'd love to have Apple stop bugging me to install Safari. I'm not f'ing interested. FF3b5 works great for me. ...

Only Series 2 TiVo boxes don't support progressive download from Unbox. Series 3 boxes and TiVo HD boxes both allow immediate playback from Unbox. With my S3 and FiOS, I can happily watch right away ...

For the longest time MPC recommended using Exact Audio Copy and LAME for encoding to MP3. Recently, Will Smith, I believe, mentioned using straight iTunes for ripping. This was a surprise to me as I ...

I enjoy this new found explicit freedom. If you guys are concerned with losing listeners, create a separate edited, clean version for that one listener who wants to share the MPC podcast experience w ...
