It's interesting that you dinged Avast AV for having to register with an email address ("what do we do if their servers ever shut down oh noes the panikz is on!!!!!!!!!one"), but you're perfectly comfortable with this program, which does the exact same thing. But I guess any PC mag that would rather trash a product's interface because it looks too much like a media player (especially an interface you'll never have to look at again, if everything works properly), than give the product its due props for working the way it should, and working very well at it, can't be bothered to be too consistent.

The number of people who care has dwindled down to zero.

Then you deserve what you get.  Why would you just click OK without looking at what you're installing?  You wouldn't do it anywhere else, but because it's Apple, it's the in thing to bitch about it.

Use some common sense and it won't matter what they try to push.

"Still, this is Logitech. I don't want my TV remote sucking up 30% of my PC's CPU resources."

 The hell?  This is a TV remote.  It has nothing to do with your computer.

 I suppose you find your blender is using too much of your car's gasoline every time it runs, too.

Awesome.  Now, instead of sitting around making movies that suck, he can just deliver the story of his life that sucks. 

I've seen shoes that have accomplished more than this hack.

"Pummeling people into 'puddy'"?  You mean, into that guy from Seinfeld?

 It's not hard to proofread, guys.  Say it with me: PUTTY.

Suddenly, that top end "Dream Machine" you guys did this year doesn't look all that dreamy, does it?

Good job learning the word theme.  Here's another word you can look up: DREAM. 

Are you telling me that your dreams are as mediocre as the Dream Machines this year?  If so, I feel sad for you.

I've never been able to afford any of the Dream Machines, because they're simply that: dream machines. Just like I can't afford my dream car, or dream house, or dream job.  But throwing this mediocre effort out there and calling it a Dream anything is like saying "My dream job is to finally work the counter at McDonalds, not the grill."  

The Dream Machine is supposed to be the pinnacle of computers.  Any idiot could buy what they threw together this year.  Thoroughly lame effort by what I guess we'll now have to call the "Pretty Good PC" staff, and doubly piss-poor showing by putting the article up on their web site before most subscribers have even received the mag.

 If I would have known I could read the content online so soon, I never would have bought the thing in the one store that still carries "Barely Adequate PC" in a three-town radius.

Nothing, really.  But the MaxPC editors have been licking up scraps from Creative for so long now, they're just used to it.  Either that, or they live in a reality where Creative products don't suck and don't die within three days, and you can always find drivers for any Creative product without hassle or headache.

The rest of us know better.

True dat.  If Maximum PC wants to cover mobile stuff so much, they shouldn't have let MobilePC (later Mobile) magazine die.
