Malwarebytes definition database stolen, misused by IOBit {Download Squad}
Nov 4th 2009 3:08PM This company is very suspect. Thank you, Lee, for spotlighting this shady company and thank you, mxxcon, for warning us with that detailed information.
With that said, Lee, can I ask why you and DLS would use the word "stolen" in the title? That's a shady move in itself and you know it. The word "stolen" implies that Malwarebytes no longer has possession of their definition database. "Stealing" and "infringing" are NOT the same thing (I'm sure I don't need to explain further).
That's RIAA and MPAA type of wording and I thought you guys were better than that.
Adobe AIR 2.0 will hog less memory and add multitouch support {Download Squad}
Oct 30th 2009 7:30PM I like the concept of AIR and have it installed on my work computer, but I've yet to find anything useful to use on it.
SkyDrive Explorer adds 25gb of free cloud storage to Windows Explorer {Download Squad}
Oct 30th 2009 1:00PM I was just wondering recently if something like this was available, so thank you. I have a few backups in mine right now, but this means I'll probably start using it much more often.
Of course, I wish SkyDrive wasn't blocked at work, but all of those sites are.
Just one question - can you assign it a drive letter?
Readability 2 makes webpages printable, pasteable and uncluttered {Download Squad}
Oct 30th 2009 12:51PM Your link is pretty screwed up, but luckily the page you linked to has the right link.
Thanks for sharing.
Members of the ATSC agree on measure to curb loud commercials {Engadget HD}
Oct 29th 2009 6:05PM Very excellent news. This has really bothered me the last few years. I have to turn the volume a little louder than most because I lost hearing in one of my ears three years ago. That's not too big of a problem for my roommates, but when the commercials come on, it's insane.
Don't stop believing. ANOTHER Google search enhancement -- music this time! {Download Squad}
Oct 29th 2009 11:06AM I'm in the US and it's also not working for me. I have to say I'm surprised the first three posters aren't in the US. I didn't realize this blog had a foreign following.
Anything innovative related to music surprises me, though, since I doubt the RIAA mafia likes this one bit. Of course we know this could only help the music industry by promoting music, but they never seem to see it that way because of their short-sightedness. They think they should be paid something every time someone thinks about music.
Google Voice (voicemail) now works with existing phone numbers {Download Squad}
Oct 27th 2009 1:41PM The only thing I would worry about is whether or not something is in place to stop someone from trying to add a number that isn't theirs and then having access to all the voicemails that aren't theirs.
Jealous girlfriends of the world, I'm looking at you!
Google Wave will have an App Store too! {Download Squad}
Oct 27th 2009 1:36PM Whoops. I meant to say "Did your account get *any* invites as well" in that shameless begging.
Google Wave will have an App Store too! {Download Squad}
Oct 27th 2009 1:33PM Did your account get an invites as well? If so, I'd be happy to take one off your hands... and then you'd "know" someone else with a Wave account.
Save $80 on your Windows 7 purchase - the Upgrade does full installs, too {Download Squad}
Oct 23rd 2009 5:46PM I wanted to wait for someone else to comment to make sure I wasn't missing something, but I have to agree with Adam that this doesn't seem very legal. I'm not trying to judge anyone, but if doing this doesn't bother you, why not just "pirate" a copy for yourself and save even more. Does it make people more comfortable knowing they spent "something" on the product, so they can tell themselves they're only stretching the law, instead of breaking it?
Don't get me wrong, I know you can make the case that if Microsoft left the hole open and you're not technically "hacking" it that it makes it ok - and I wouldn't necessarily say you were wrong, but it certainly seems like a stretch. Like I said, if you're going to go through the trouble of infringing on a little portion of the product, why not infringe on the whole thing? (Notice I purposely didn't say "steal" or "theft.")
