General Software Discussion / MOVAVI,avoid this company like the plague

« on: January 29, 2007, 03:34 AM »

I actually posted a discount code back in December for their software,and chances are,if you bought from them,your already getting hit up for an upgrade fee.

I don't know maybe it's me but i think this is wrong and maybe you can chime in...

Say i purchase a 4.4 of their ConvertMovie application in July,then not even a year later or a 4.5,4.6,4.7,etc
they zip to 5.0.I have to admit to their credit they say "Major Upgrades" will cost a fee.But not even a year
later.I'm sorta lucky,mind you if you bought their suite,that i gave a coupon to    in December,your already
getting hit for an upgrade fee a month after cause they rounded up their versions 4.0,5.0.

That is shady,and i'm sorry if anyone got burned by this.
Don't be fooled by their professional apparence and thier oh so hey-their-are-humans-behind-this-company blog
(most likely friends of the family)
Put this on your sh*tlist for future reference.

one from my isp,but alot of the info is old and stale,is it a case of you get what you pay for or is just a question of digging around ? Or maybe i've been spoiled by internet forums,none the less i know there has to be some gold out there so...

Anyone know of some active newsgroups,servers
with active topics such as tech news,breaking world news.
I'm basically a news nut,i want news from all over the globe,

"Thanks to your participation, we were able to accomplish the goals of the Max project—to get customer feedback on new ways to approach software and services. If you’re interested in seeing where we go with these ideas, keep your eye on Windows Live."

"Starting today, we will be disabling all downloads from our website. In the next week, we will be shutting down the Max services and our team forums."

I personally never used it but read about it here and there,it was a image organizing application to the best
of my knowledge.It was some what shocking to see such a short lived project though.

General Software Discussion / Decided to give Google Pack another try...Updates you with old versions

« on: October 06, 2006, 12:39 AM »

Got bored today and decided to give google pack another try.Personally i think the ideal could be a good one if it was done correctly.It's not,it updates you ,with old versions of just about everything.Old desktop search,old
google toolbar,old Real Player,i stop at that cause why waste the bandwidth and my time.

I posted some of these links before but here are some of the direct links it coughed up (found with url snooper )


Real Player (Google)
http://gpdl.google.com/real-3.exe

Google Desktop Search
http://gpdl.google.c...06.627.443/setup.exe

Screensaver
http://gpdl.google.c...aver_installer-5.exe

Toolbar
http://gpdl.google.c...6.08.30_17.29.31.exe


This is a neglected ideal and the project managers should be fired,wake the hell up google.

"Mr. Carroll spoke on Thursday with Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-American space tourist aboard the International Space Station (ISS)."


"I heard her say, 'C-Q, C-Q, C-Q,' and of course that means she wants to talk to someone, anyone who is listening," Mr. Carroll said. "And I thought: What the heck, you can't lose by trying."

This is what you should go for....

 Now i have Picasa installed (2.5 Build 32.94) and it allows you to post to the Picasaweb service,point
being Picasa/Picasaweb should be one in the same.( This is what i gather,if i'm wrong by all means fill
