I have tried the Google Desktop Search and I was not impressed with the lack of options. I know google tries to simplify things, but this was way too simple. The main problem is the lack of Access Control Options. I don't trust anything indexing all my files. It just a privacy issue I have.
Replace "Designed for Windows [___]" with "Designed for Linux"
Even though I do not believe in that since the software is meant to be designed based on the hardware (not always true).
Hollywood seems to be producing more and more movies based on classic cartoons.
Spiderman, Daredevil, X-Men, Incredible Hulk, etc, etc(might have missed some here), and now The Fantastic Four.
Now the real question is whether these movies are being produced becase they are a hit or they are running out of original ideas over there
It makes you wonder whether companies just rush to market their products without doing proper developement or testing. I'm sure the makers of Treo had wifi in mind, but the time needed to develop support would take quite a while. So they marketed the product and began selling it.
I've noticed this, especially, on DVD-RW drives as they relese the product, and than provide support for it after with firmware upgrades, which are sometimes quite tedious to work with.
I am referring to developement and support for main functionaly not minor bugfixes (which I have no problem with upgrading the firmware for).
There is a distinction between a 'product', 'service', and 'solution'.
The service sector is being overpopulated with competition as outsourcing increases. So companies have no choice, but to innovate, and provide a *solution*. This "solution" does a lot more than just a simple service. This is what will drive the service sector in the future
Wouldn't it be better if a software product provided a solution rather than just a service. Your statement is also valid because some companies nowadays say they are providing a "solution" to sound almighty, but in fact, it is just a service or a product.
Well this seems like where computing services are heading as IBM is doing extensive research on Self-Configuring, Self-Healing, Self-Optimizing, and Self-Protecting computing systems called 'Autonomic'
I just upgraded to Trillian 3.0 and let me tell you that I'm not amazed like I was with the 2.0 upgrade.
First of all, the skin support is absolutely horrible. The last updated skin is from January 2004. My trillian 2.0 skin works fine although the some of the new options really ruin its look.
After a bit of fiddling around, I got it back to to the good ol' look that I really liked (minimalistic).
By default, ALL the IM protocols are disabled. This means you have to go in and enable them, which I found to be a little annoying for an expert user. Although a beginner would not find it a lot more complex.
One of the great features of defining the size in pixels has been disabled which i really enjoyed. The main reason is because with that feature, you can just define a size and all your windows will be the same size.
The tabbed windows are a great addition, but i'm more of a fan of individual windows.
Overall, a quick looks shows great addition and bugfixes. I'll try using it for now, but I may revert to 2.0 in the future if things dont go smoothly.

Apparently trillian is supposed to work with Wine and/or Crossover Office.
I have gotten it to work with skins but it runs extremely slow on my Duron 700MHz.
On windows, I have found that Trillian is the best Multi-IM client out there. I'm off to check out what new features they've added and if its worth upgrading.
Cell phones are becoming cheaper and cheaper every day due to the intense amount of competition
It is also more flexible as you can just buy two ore more phones which use the same plan and calls between them are 'free'.

Try getting VLC Player
It will do fine on *all* Operating Systems.

What about photons?.....They have mass and guess what? they travel AT the speed of light(well they ARE light)

In India, cow dung is considered sacred too (no joke).
Meant to say Classic Comics/Cartoons because the Cartoons were based on Comics.

What about cache size for buffering data?
I'm sure that increasing the cache size significantly incrases the overall performace of the drive.

I would like to see what new features this includes when compared to MS Office or OpenOffice.
Hopefully this will create more competition between these office suites and bring about new features to Office market.
Hopefully Apple will try to use some open standards

There are four base OS' on that list and 6 patches, all of which are free.
Actually there are only two BASE OS's.
They are WindowsNT and Windows 2000. Windows 2003 and WindowsXP are children of Windows 2000.
