There’s a story circulating (CNET, BetaNews, eWeek, Bink.nu) that VMware GSX Server will be re-released this coming week as a free product to combat Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 product which was reduced in price late last year.
I’m a little slow this week – SBSH Software released updates to both PocketBreeze and ContactBreeze this week. Congratulations to Amit and the team at SBSH!

Today Spb Software House released Spb Diary 1.7:
February 2, 2006, Spb Software House announces the release of Spb Diary 1.7. Spb Diary is a feature-rich Today plug-in for your Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Notes and Messages. It enhances Pocket Outlook by gathering all of your PIM information in one place. The new version introduces a bundle of new features like the Messages Tab, an auto-height adjustment feature, native birthdays support and integration with Spb Finance as well as improved speed, better usability in the Notes Tab and many other changes.
Personally I use SBSH Software’s PocketBreeze which was on the market first, and has quite a long history. However, Spb is known for their quality software solutions and the integration between their products.
Now is your chance to see what all the fuss is and will be about. Microsoft released Beta 2 of Internet Explorer 7 on the world last night. While its not a final release product, I can tell you it is FAST, feature rich and has good support for RSS.
I’m not too delighted at the feed support as I could be – MS is only supporting RSS at this time, and if you notice on Blogger we have ATOM feeds. Doesn’t work right now. Eventually, I may be able to uninstall Pluck which I have used for over a year as my main RSS/ATOM reader. That won’t happen yet, but it could when the IE7 ships later this year – we’ll see how much better the RSS support gets. That its built in and works rather well already is very promising.
Another irritating thing I’ve noticed since installing on XP (I’ve used IE7 on antoher OS…), when trying to create this post here at Blogger using IE7, the “Compose” mode when creating a post does not display text correctly – its white on white! Using the “Edit HTML” mode DOES show the text so you can see it.
Well, its a beta release and it is impressive in the changes and features MS has brought along so far. Also impressive is MS’s interest in listening to the user community for feature and usability improvements in IE7. The laundry list from IE6 is long, and MS has worked very hard to build a modern browser.
Is it better than FireFox – probably not, especially in beta, but its a BIG step in the right direction and will continue to improve. Also, I have to admit here that I’m a dedicated IE user, so while I use FireFox (and Opera too!), IE is my main browser and will probably continue to be.
Well, more to come on this as the days roll on!
Check out the article at Geekzone on the release of Opera Mini! Mini is a Java based version of their excellent browser, designed for the small screen on your average mobile phone. All the phone needs to support Mini is to run Java applets. And the best part is – its free!
@MAC_Arms Pay taxes when you make your money, pay taxes when you spend your money, pay taxes when you successfully invest your money, pay taxes when you save enough taxed money to afford a house, pay taxes to live in your house, pay taxes when you sell the house that you paid taxes on to
Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
