I’m trying to uninstall this trial from a brand new Toshiba laptop and once I try to uninstall it it says that McAfee antivirus is still running, please exit out of that and try again.
I close the program in the system tray. I try again, still telling me that there is a problem with the antivirus still running. I try ctrl-alt-del to see if I can kill off the process, guess what happens? I kill off a few McAfee processes and it locks the computer up. I fucking hate McAfee. They are much worse than Symantec. At least Symantec lets you remove their piece of shit software. McAfee is like really anti-intuitive. It’s a POS. Don’t buy it. If you really insist on buying a suite of programs which include a firewall, buy Microsoft’s OneCare. I’ve been using this thing for roughly one year, ever since the closed beta began and let me tell you, it’s much nicer than the bloated crap McAfee and Symantec puts on your computers.
It looks like reviews of Microsoft’s new gaming mouse, the Habu, are starting to pour through the crevices of Google News. The majority of them are not so stellar. There are also two user reviews up at Amazon.com. Both are not so great either. The most common problem that people are reporting is the software not working properly or being too buggy. This mouse was co-produced alongside Razer and from what I’ve been reading; Razer’s software releases for some reason or another have always been buggy.
The size and shape of the mouse seem to be okay. The only thing *I* am truly worried about is the stiffness of the buttons. There was one review that said the buttons cannot be pressed on accident. I’m hoping that they’re not similar to the feel of the Laser Mouse 6000. Those buttons are horrendous. I don’t understand how some people like having to push or click so hard. I prefer the style of the IME3.0 to any other mouse’s buttons.
With that said, I still think I’ll be purchasing a Habu and do a proper review; however, the price must go down a bit. It’s still relatively expensive since it’s so new but once it drops a few bucks, you can be assured I will purchase one and do a review.
Just an update about an update, I have been using the JIS screwdrivers that I was able to find online for almost two weeks now. I just can’t stop and think that the screwdrivers I have don’t look like the ones my friend had. I found out last night that there is another size #1 with a smaller shank diameter which is 1.0mm bigger than the #0 that I have. So, I contacted the supplier of the screwdrivers and sure enough, they have them in stock. I’ll be purchasing several of them and hopefully be receiving them sometime next week or the next.
I also wanted to say I picked up another set of the same exact ones I purchased but for home use. I like to have two sets as I don’t bring my tools home and then back to work everyday as that is very time consuming for me.
