I'm pretty sure Ken just doesn't have the spectrum of choices worked out yet. I'm betting the Sony cafeteria a few levels above the kitchenette at my workplace. I think Ken is thinking more about his role in the new movie, Dreamcast Part II: The Mistakening.
Like they've said, you can get a 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3, and that's tons more gaming. I'm just going for a 360 and that's going to be a stretch for me.

No actually that's still less than Microsoft's IE and Windows patch sets. And Microsoft's patches more often than not involve critical bugs.
Open source is actually a pretty good reason. It lets people contribute and find these problems, helps them guide the development of the product, and lets them build all sorts of neat add-ons. The whole Opera thing just comes across as snobby and pretentious, just like your post.
Watch out. You're going to see a Seamonkey and a Thunderbird in other places on that site. I know it's hard identifying different products by their individual logos. Car shopping must be a world shattering nightmare for you.

I'll wait for SyncML support. I need this to work with my Treo, so it's Yahoo and Intellisync for now. Plus Yahoo has that cool Day Planner widget to go with it. But given RSS output, any RSS reader will be able to act as a day planner, and there is an RSS Yahoo widget.
I agree. My default behavior with any browser, Firefox or IE, is to never visit important sites (anything financial related) on a click-through. That's what the address bar at the top is for. I swear Firefox users are as smug as OSX users. One day, one new vulnerability is going to tear one as wide as the Goat.se.
Do you honestly have something to be paranoid about in your phone conversations, or are they as ridiculous as 95% of the blogs out there. I don't think Homeland Security is really interested in the calls about your overdue credit cards.
If you thought High School in LA was facinating, wait until you see what High School is like Tatooine-style!!! With teenage dugs and ithorians and such. The whacky messes they get into will spin your head. Of course, there will be the weekly, don't do death sticks message. And the special season finale where Luke's best friend joins the Academy will bring a tear to your eye as he's zapped 3/4 of a second after stepping foot planetside.
Yes, Luke's childhood friends San Holo and Bew Chacca will make for great weekly entertainment. And don't forget baby Greedo and their ever evil foil Fuckgantua the Hutt.
We'll even get to see the Death Star grow up to where it can finally emit.
Obviously Amazon S3 doesn't fill that niche. However, there is inherent value to offsite storage that the local harddrive cannot fill. Disaster recovery is getting to be a big deal, less than a year out from Hurricane Katrina. The question is, if I put my data on S3, what is Amazon's redundancy plan? This is a pay service so I expect that if that datacenter gets blown away, there will be a backup of some sort. This is a pay service and you may have some enterprises relying on this.
Dear ZombieLine, Maybe your company, like most others, is drastically underfunding the IT department, expecting superhuman performance on less than shoe-string budgets, while every day demanding all new buzzword compliant services and ignoring IT requests for additional warm bodies. Not to mention the fact that you are using high maintenance Microsoft Outlook type services while surfing for pr0N and jam packing your mail server full of the latest Happy Fun Tentacle Rape Party videos that everyone is mailing around.
Unacceptable server downtime? Are you clustering critical services?
Bad backups? Chances are your company is very content with single tape drives that the sysadmins can swap tapes from rather than having a good tape library with enough licenses to cover all servers with a decent retention time.
Maxed network storage? Are you paying for more RAID disk shelves? Or are you still feeling brilliant telling your IT staff all about how "you can get an IDE 200GB drive for $50 at Staples, so why can't that be plugged into the EMC or NetApp fileserver?"
My recommendation: stop demanding Five 9's of service and stop expecting services to never reboot or need maintenance if you aren't going to fund it. Stop dicking around at being a business and spend money to make money. Otherwise, save everyone time and bend over to your competition now. You can recommend all the fantastic new upgrades and services, but if your company doesn't recognize the value of improved infrastructure services, and an educated staff, you don't deserve to stay in business and sooner or later Darwin will rear his ugly head.
Get your little posse of idiots together an ask senior management why they are refusing to fund the needed changes. You might be pleasantly surprised to find out that they have no friggin clue about how to manage IT. Or maybe you haven't been paying enough attention to quarterly financial reports to realize that your company is experiencing a classic symptom of the death spiral.
Oh, BTW, you're an asshole. You and your 2Live Crew can go fuck off. Love, Shokk
They have offered a "business package" that is "easy to use". YOu should know by now that the general public doesn't always care about quality - for Pete's sake, 95% of the world uses Windows! Skype wins!
None of these services are what everybody wants. We're on the bleeding edge of this new service as far as consumers are concerned and it will take a few years to iron out.
Who will be running this Phishing database? Is this anything like the SiteAdvisor tool we have now? Is it possible they could fix the memory issues we currently see instead of rehashing features we already have? I just had to close a 400MB session on FF1.5.0.1 that is currenty at 55MB after a restart. I'm not sure if they're getting the message, but this is not a feature as they have claimed before. If it's really a feature, please give me a way to turn that crap off.
He needs to gather everyone together and have them repeat the mantra:
"Email is not a filesystem". Put it on a network share and point everyone to it. If they are outside the company, then that may be an exception, or put it in a blind anonymous FTP area that gets swept once a week.
Actually, there are those of us who say they've added too much. After all, OOo doesn't even have its own OS surrounding it. With a comment like that, you KNOW MSFT doesn't get it. Once upon a time, before Office 97, I think they did, but then they took the "total interoperability" ball and ran 10 football fields away with it. Unfortunaltely, this is the very reason that corporations buy these products - Outlook integrates with every friggin service out there.

I guess it would have been better if there were lawyer corpses floating away.

Sure, its 123-45-6789.
So that's pretty much it then. No point in the rest of your life, eh? Wow, and it was all over so quick.

The only question...
Is the cat in an box and what is its state?
I would have been much more interested in the tabbed mail view for Thunderbird.9 /

Not if the taps aren't working at the bar, or if the beer truck failed to show. Every business has its lynchpin.
