Product Review – DVDFab (DVD Copy Software)
This weekend I popped a DVD into my computer to watch and realized I had no DVD decoder! So rather than just search for DVD player software I decide to search for the full boat. DVD playback, copy, record, and convert (oh and removing copy protection is a bonus too). I had an extra challenge, since my home machine is 64 bit windows I had to get something that would run there too. (BTW, the infrequent issue of software not running on Vista 64 bit is FAR OUTWEIGHED by the HUGE increase in stability and performance of Vista64 vs. Vista32.)
Product Review – D-Link Skype USA Phone Adapter (DPH-50U)
I thought I would start adding some "product reviews" since I do try out a fair amount of products and services. I decided to pick the last product I purchased, the Skype USB Phone Adapter - DPH-50U by D-Link.
Cool New Text Input Method For Touch Screens
I am a big fan of T9 since it is installed on my phone and I text message all the time. This new method however looks even cooler. My only problem is I can't spell that fast.
Who cares how good Spore is, DRM ruins it.
So EA has been promoting their new game, "Spore", for years now. I'm sure they put more then a few bucks into its development but were they building the game or a virus? It appears Spore comes with a nasty little DRM program attached that basically ruins the experience. It would be like drinking a glass of Cristal out of a wax paper cup, it doesn't matter how good the champagne is if it comes in a crappy package.
