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 thing is unbelievable to me: MobileMe Messaging...

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 around too casually these days, and while I...

MIX'08 Part 1

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of posts yesterday but my wireless connection at Harrah's is achingly bad and wouldn't stay up for more than a few minutes at a time. For the first time ever, perhaps, the EDGE connection on my iPhone was actually better than Wi-Fi. Anyway. I made it to Vegas without...

CNET : Microsoft will shortly make available the test version of Internet Explorer 8, which is set for final release in the first half of this year. Really? I can't imagine IE 8 will ship in the first half of 2008. This is almost certainly a typo, though we'll know more at MIX 08, next week,...
