• 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

• Firefox vs. Windows Vista, Part 4: The Quickening

  Hello, my name is Paul. I've been using Firefox 3 crash-free for exactly one week now. Sadly, my machine has succumbed to other addictions, er ah, software fatalities due to applications like Internet Explorer, Outlook, and Photoshop Elements, so...

• Firefox 3 vs. Windows Vista, Part 3

  So it looks like removing the extensions has indeed paid off. You may recall my earlier post noting my concerns about the reliability of Firefox 3 and questions about the cause.

• Firefox 3 vs. Windows Vista, Part 2

  After submitting yesterday's Firefox 3 vs. Windows Vista post, I uninstalled all the extensions I had previously installed in Firefox 3 RC1 to see how it behaved. I must admit, I do miss the glass effects from Glasser and being able to hide the menu... Posted May 30 2008, 06:44 PM by pthurrott with | with 15 comment(s) Filed under: Mozilla, Vista

• Firefox 3 vs. Windows Vista

  I've been working on my Firefox 3 review lately and one thing I'm a little bit concerned about is the reliability of this product. As many of you know, Windows Vista includes an amazing tool called the Reliability Monitor that monitors the reliability...

• Questions and comments about Firefox 3, IE 8, the future of Web browsers, cloud computing, and how it all comes together

  So it's always amusing to me when the mainstream press tries to cover tech products, but I was particularly interested in this one since I'm in the middle of writing my own Firefox 3 review. I think that terms like "innovative" are thrown...

• Firefox 3 and Aero Glass: Now we're talking

  Yesterday , I blogged about a way to add a cool Aero Glass look to Firefox 3 (and mistakenly linked to Neowin, which is not where that information originated; sorry). In that post, I noted that the teal green color that was originally provided for the... Posted Apr 20 2008, 03:18 PM by pthurrott with | with 11 comment(s) Filed under: Mozilla, Vista
