  1. gmail #2? by CDPatten · · Score: 0, Troll

    No offense to the Google lovers, but how in the hell did gmail make it to number 2? Yikes! The guys who did this probably also did the polls that said John Kerry would win the us presidency...

  2. Where's M$? by bogaboga · · Score: 0, Troll

    Guys, Microsoft is the innovator at least according to Bill G. But where is M$ here? What about M$ Virtual Earth?

    Not to troll or anything, but I like my program to be able to go fullscreen without having to spend $30 or whatever on a license, thank you very much.

    My favourites? mplayer, VLC, XMMS (although XMMS2 is much-needed)
