Gosh Bill, look at all them thar' siege engines!

Microsoft has been in the news lately. Wandering around the news world often finds me at the BBC site. It is short of amazing that they break interesting stories about things USA. For instance, Mr. Gates and company are very interested in your home theater experience. The article is Gates unveils his digital vision.

Still tripping along fighting popups, spyware and other garbage while using Internet Explorer? Please read this article at ZDNet. IE is losing more of the market share to Firefox which can be found at Mozilla.org. Before all the Windows Nazis start let me once again remind you that awareness has been obtained about the AOHell people being behind Mozilla. Yes, I know that AOHell owns Netscape. Yes I remember the first Browser War. All this considered, Firefox rocks! Try it, but by no means delete Internet Explorer. We may become victims of a plot to make us buy our internet browser. Just hope that Microsoft does something to make things better in this arena. Indications are not too good since the smarmy new popup blocker and spyware blocker they have basically suck.

Almost a year too late Microsoft has decided to get into the web mail plus large storage arena with Outlook Live. Everyone seems to be competing for this market now, but the definite winner is Google's Gmail. Don't rush out and start deleting Outlook Express or Outlook. This morning I installed Thunderbird, which is the Mozilla mail client and set up a POP account inside for Gmail. It works perfectly and was easy to install due to the awesome instructions on the Gmail site. They even have pictures! People, all this is FREE! I still have a few Gmail invitations if anyone is interested.

"Browser Wars? Stupid, just stupid. Each individual is entitled to use any 'appliance' of his/her choice. You don't hear people sitting around talking about how their central air unit is better."
