  1. Re:It's fine on Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    First of all it's not fine. It doesn't work with Seibel and it doesn't work with Cognos and it screws up a bunch of various pages like globe and mail, espn etc. So...who cares about globe and espn...well..lots of people. More importantly it is breaking business applications, then...i went to uninstall? Nope...now a long time IE user, was just forced to download Firefox...i'm quite enjoying it.

  2. Backup on Amazon's New Storage Service · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Running .15 per Gig plus .20 per Gig transfer is not very economical for power users, nor very practical (upload speeds etc) This is pretty well covered. However..for the typical end user that can barely patch their machine, , may or may not understand to renew their virus definitions adn only use their computer to store digital pictures of their grandkids this is a good service. I often wonder how many grandparents lose their photo collection everytime a hard disk crashes (3-5 years at most) because i doubt more than 1% of home users run a raid array. Yep, better choices, flickr etc but which allows them to be hosted and send links to friends but nice to have a generic service. Amazon "catering to the unsophisticated". got a ring to it :)
