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...

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 on a Windows computer, you are safer using Firefox...

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.

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 bar. But with the understanding that 24 hours does...

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 of the system and provides an ongoing 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 around too casually these days, and while I...

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 Booksmarks toolbar was incorrect, as that color is...
