In an [[IMDB]] poll about the most eagerly awaited December releases, TTT is stomping the competition!

The current standings have TTT at 63%, and the second place movie at 9%!!! Yeah!

This article claims that there are good uses for [[Spam]]. You be the judge.

Consumers are increasingly applying the stigma of spam to marketing messages of all stripes, causing headaches for legitimate advertisers on the Web and beyond.

In my opinion, there is no legitimate reason to send me email that I didn’t ask for. ***PERIOD***.

You just gotta love what a weblog can do [[:-)]].

It’s about time he showed up for a post-season game!

Now we can only hope for chants of “The Giants win the pennant, the Giants win the pennant… ” [[:-)]]

Bonds was a playoff winner at last, homering and scoring the first two runs as the San Francisco Giants held off the Braves 3-1 in the decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series Monday night.

**YEAH!**

Actually IBM notes site has insructions on how to run the Win32 client on Linux with WINE. I know it is not a native client but it is more cross platform then Outlook/Exchange or Groupwise niether of which work on linux client or server

I wish this wasn’t the case… I really do!

We wish we found IBM’s Lotus Notes a long time ago. This single application could have formed the basis for the entire site. The interface is so problematic, one might reasonably conclude that the designers had previously visited this site, and misread “Hall of Shame” as “Hall of Fame”. Lotus Notes… contains almost every example of inefficient design illustrated thoughout the entire Hall of Shame site.

And I have to use this at work!!!

Having had to use Notes for e-mail for a few weeks before I quit my last company, I can fully appreciate your criticisms. In the developers’ defense, since Notes is supposed to run on various OS platforms, it is important that it **suck** equally on all of them.

I guess I can understand that… except that on the 5.0 product, it doesn’t work cross-platform anymore! Now what’s their excuse?

Of course, their new site only looks right when viewed by their product (IE) on their OS (Windows).

Microsoft is a W3C member that sits on the XHTML and CSS working groups, and makes web browsers that support those technologies. Microsoft’s browser developers include longtime W3C contributors like Chris Wilson and Tantek Çelik who help create web standards and are passionate about supporting them. It’s too bad their hard work and that of other W3C members was ignored by the site’s designers.

Those who use font tags and other such junk often claim they’re doing so to make the site look good in old browsers. That wouldn’t be a sensible goal for the makers of IE6, but let’s run it up the flagpole. The ill-coded redesign looks reasonably good in Netscape 4/Win but the site is illegible in Netscape 4/Mac.

Why am I not surprised? It can’t live with standards anywhere else, so why should I expect that they could on their website.

More evidence that the Recording industry is just plain criminal!

An insider present at the hearing commented, “It was kinda pathetic watching all the major suits try and defend the indefensible… it was clear that the Senators want no part of any legislation, but that they feel it’s inevitable if the majors refuse to address any of the artists’ concerns.”

After reading this report, I’m actually more appalled than every at the way musicians are treated. Can you imagine… **The Backstreet Boys*’ have ‘*NEVER** received a royalty check from their record company????? How is this possible in a civil society?

I have to hand it to M$. They are keeping up with their end of the bargain and making their apps available and robust on the Mac platform.

Beginning Tuesday, buyers of new Macs can pick up the full version of Office v. X for $199, or about $200 less than the full purchase price. The promotion ends Jan. 7, 2003.

Hopefully this will boost sales such that they keep improving the product on OSX.

I’ve been waiting almost a year for this!

This should be **very** cool!
