My fix was "get a real godsdamned phone". Seriously, I bought a Nokia 6280 so as to spare my HTC Wizard/Qtek 9100 from a festival, and instead ended up no longer using the Smartphone. R-tard designers. (I'm sure a lot of the problems were due to faulty driver design, but I'm also pretty sure that the incompleteness of the drivers were due to bad documentation from MS). I still have the handset around, sometimes turning it on to see if someone has sent me an SMS.
The only complaint I really have with Gmail is that it is not IMAP-capable. That would be the sweet stuff. Of course, that'd require folders... Too bad, really.
It's good for personal stuff, but unless they've started supporting HTML mail, it's a moot point for me. Opera is totally FTW, though, especially with their new "Speed Dial". Wonderful. I use it half the time (on all my computers, work and play alike), the other half Firefox (for the plugins, plus the bookmark syncing capabilities gotten through Foxmarks)
I think it is something like this: Thunderbird and Eudora are basically the same, a major part of the differences is deployed through a plugin that works with both; certain of the plugin's features are incompatible with Thunderbird, though.. HTH.
How did you get it to work? Quite boring; I did a search using wiki's own search engine and linked the resulting URL (that is, with ASCII chars and underscores instead of spaces)
Digg actually censors quite a bit, they block the IP address who of anyone who says anything about Islam.
You can't mention Jews anymore without people calling you anti-semitic. Do you have any sources for the claim on IP blocking? (Doing a quick Google search for 'digg islam' turned up hits on digg, nae problemo - stuff like "Digg - ISLAM CAN LEAD TO WORLD WAR III WITHIN 3 DECADES!!")
As for being called 'anti-semitic' well, that's the other users. That just makes them crybabies (unless you are, in fact, exuding anti-semitic commentaries)
I, for one, look forward to the new real-time eye-tracking monitor solutions that tracks my focus on the screen and blur everything else than that. Or, er... ..which actually exists, and is pretty cool. The idea is have a constantly shifting jumble of letters, but show the real text at the point the reader is looking. So the reader sees a screenful of clear text, but anybody trying to look over the shoulder, or film the screen or anything will jsut get meaningless junk. That actually sound very useful and very cool. I would love that.

Hardware, games and other miscellaneous time wasters even Twitter may concede they do well. It is software to real work that is often frustrating. Not to mention their habit of screwing people/business over. oops. I might concede that as well - though I haven't played an MS game since... AoE I? I just don't game much in the latter years. I have a wireless keyboard & mouse set that from them that I've grown to love which ironically works a lot better on a Mac than on my Windows PC. Also, when Vista first came, driver support for the set was horrid. (Don't actually know for a fact whether it's better now, seeing as I axed Vista again very fast, for reasons you've described above:-p )
Can't be? Well, I've just finished the Age of Mythology campaign - in case you don't know, this is a Microsoft game, a close relative of the Age of Empires series, uses DirectX exclusively and works perfectly, including playing over DirectPlay with copies running natively on Windows.
The only reason some games still don't work is that their programmers were trying to be too smart and invented things that work by chance alone even on Windows, due to some hard-to-mimic memory allocation behaviours, undocumented "features" that allowed them to get away with programming mistakes and such things. Sure, the implementation of Direct3D in Wine isn't complete, but every well-written game either works or gives a very clear indication of the lacking 3D features, as it would under Windows with bad video drivers. In extension to above, do you then indicate that MS' gaming dept. has made a well-written game?;-)
Too bad more browsers don't accomomdate keyboard users well... Firefox, for instance, as good as it is, still skips some form elements when tabbing through forms. Plus, it changes which elements are "acceptable" to tab through on different platforms! Firefox on MSWin != Ffx OS X != Ffx *nix. Thank gods we have Opera.
Working on the final solution to the... Er, I mean, I can't remember either. Partly because most of 1981 was spent partying with a placenta; great party that was. The anniversary for the end of that party is this Thursday:-D
From the top of the linked page (to which you don't offer any text, only a straight URL): A polite request
Please stop posting this article on sites like Slashdot, Digg, newspapers, etc. It is old news. This article is around 2 years old now (although it has been kept up to date), and has been retired - posting it simply shows how long it took you to find it. It has already been posted on Slashdot enough times, Digg more than enough times, similar sites more times than I can count, as well as newspaper sites all around the world, and far more blogs than I will ever be able to read.
I thank you for your attention, and I am very happy that you found this article interesting or useful enough to read. However, it really does not need you to post it yet again - all you will do is eat my bandwidth, and I ask you not to do that.
One thing that surprised me was the 32/64 predictions. I loaded Vista, figuring I's better elarn it before my customers. Everyone said "Watch out for the 64 bit version" so I loaded the 32 bit version. It was a morass of problems, every bit as bad as he said. After a couple months, I decided to try a fresh build anfd picked 64 bit on the same machine. 1000% better. It still has some annoyances, but now it is an OS I can really use. Well, seeing as you would need a separate license to install each version (32/64 bit), that's something of a money sink... Apart from that; why should there be a usability issue in using a 32-bit version of the OS in comparison to the 64-bit version? That just reaks of bad implementation.
Let's try a new type of analogy: If a baker sold you a loaf of white bread that was green on the inside, would you trust him enough to also buy a black bread the next day?
In fact, my next budget meeting with my boss will include Numbers '08-made stuff, as I also want to persuade him to buy a feeeew more Macs (he's only given me one, the cheap bastard).
Granted, the iPodService thing shouldn't be so hard to turn off, but come on. If you're knowledgeable enough to care, you ought ot be able to do something about. Otherwise, get Winamp 2.95.

Was one of my first thoughts too...
"Web capable, eh? Bluetooth phone + new iPod... More interesting train trips"
Darnit.
I just set up my IMAP just to check, only to find that sadly, no. Looking forward to it, though.
So, it's really not Eudora, it's Thunderbird with some Eudora-like widgets thrown in. It's "Eudora" in name only, than?
Except to the trolls that're gaming that tags system, it's 'Eurdora' in name.The only complaint I really have with Gmail is that it is not IMAP-capable. That would be the sweet stuff. Of course, that'd require folders... Too bad, really.
