• The MobileMe disaster continues: Now it's not 'Exchange for the rest of us' anymore

  I just received the following note that Apple sent to its sales force. In it, the company says that it will no longer use the "Exchange for the rest of us" slogan because MobileMe, unlike Exchange, does not really use push technology. This whole...

• More reasons to switch to Firefox?

  I think Michael Horowitz is being a bit harsh (and I'm guessing that's his entire schtick in a nutshell), but Mozilla's Asa Dotzler summarizes this argument a bit more agreeably, in my opinion. First, the Horowitz bit : If you surf the web... Posted Jul 07 2008, 01:01 PM by pthurrott with | with 31 comment(s) Filed under: Apple, Internet, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Vista

• Will Success, or All That Money From Google, Spoil Firefox?

  Generally speaking, holidays (today is Veterans Day in the US) are slow news days.
