especially when it’s to buy a data plan from them. Nadia got a new phone yesterday – a Treo like mine – and for a device like that, a data plan is pretty important. So I called them up – knowing already what the deal on the table was – and signed up for a 3MB plan… for $25. I feel like Rogers is intentionally laughing at me or something. They invented plans in the late 90s for WAP and have kept charging people through the nose ever since.
Why has it taken me
so long to discover the joys of IMAP? I converted the other day because I was curious and have continued to be frustrated by POP in a multi-client multi-location email environment… and other than the fact that it doesn’t work with Yahoo Mail (my webmail client of choice) or GMail (what I would prefer to use, though it doesn’t work for me very well), it’s a revelation.
The title of this story in my feeds
was Microsoft Agrees to Alter Vista Desktop Search. I wonder if the headline was just a coincidence, or if using a slightly modified “AltaVista” was a sly joke? (For newer Net folk, back in the day, AltaVista was THE search engine.)
This should be interesting:
Google Public Policy Blog. I’d like them to clarify, as a matter of public policy, what permissions they are seeking, if any, related to published books and more about their position on scanning in printed works, in or out of copyright.
Safari for Windows
has been announced and the Safari 3 Public Beta is now available for Windows and Mac. Is this really interesting for anything other than the fact that AJAX through Safari is the iPhone API? Is Safari for Windows anything more than the Windows Dev environment for iPhone developers?
Update: Since getting home I’ve been playing around with Safari 3 on my Macbook, and it’s freaking FAST. Quite impressive. And it doesn’t seem to croak when faced with Flash anymore.
