For ages now I’ve been struggling with Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat Reader as it used to be known) with each successive release the product became slower to run. The current Adobe Reader v8 (at least for Windows) is possibly the slowest and most bloated PDF reader I’ve come across! Initially I thought my PC was [...]

Following my post regarding challenging the great James Randi, Audioholics has a great article summarising the Pear Cables fiasco, with a reference to Yahoo’s Worst Tech Products of 2007.
