Some folks like to make an unfair comparison between computers and cars. You’ve heard the old joke, what would your car be like if it was made by Microsoft. As funny as it is, it’s an ignorant analogy. Once you buy your car, if you added a new part to it and switched out existing parts almost every day, each one made by a different vendor, you’d have problems with your car, believe me. If you think about it, it’s remarkable that computers work as well as they do, considering that the hardware, software and peripherals are all made by different vendors and change almost every day.
Sometimes, when you want to delete a file, you’re sure about it. No need for a halfway house. Go directly to oblivion, do not stop at the Recycle Bin. I personally feel like I haven’t really deleted something when it’s still sitting there in that little garbage pail on my desktop, you know?
Alright, I use Netvibes as my main startpage because it works great for my RSS feeds. No question, it does that and a lot more excellently. But if you want something beautiful in a startpage, look no further than Schmedley.com.
In his keynote presentation (which you can watch here) at the Killer App Expo in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Ray Kurzweil was making the point that technological evolution is accelerating. As one example, he pointed out how search engines have become an almost crucial part of our everyday lives when they didn't even exist just a few years ago.
Almost nothing identifies a person as a technoob (that’s my term for someone who’s new to or otherwise clueless about technology) more quickly than sending out batch emails with everyone’s address plainly visible to every recipient. Why is this a problem? In some cases it’s not, but in many cases people would rather not have you broadcast their email addresses hither and yon.
