iReader by Syntactica

A couple of days ago a friend alerted me to Cringely’s review of iReader. Once installed iReader allows you to hover your mouse over a link and a balloon will pop up with a summary of the page’s contents. I don’t know why Cringely is so hot on this thing. Both my friend and I attempted to use it with disappointing results. To its credit the software was easy to install and easy to use. But, the information it returned was no more helpful than visiting the link itself and, even worse, it locked up my browser a couple of times forcing me to use Task Manager to end the process and lose all my browser sessions. I just removed iReader from my system. Sorry, Syntactica.
