Gmail’s SPAM filtering - Not all it is cracked up to be

You can read all around the web, that Gmail has the best SPAM filtering. I call BS on that. I have been using Windows Live Domains for my email, running stevienova.com through Windows Live Domains, I get to use Windows Live Hotmail for my email. I have been using it for a year at least. [...]

Google Docs and Spreadsheets: Impressions

I never really used Google Docs and Spreadsheets up until the last few weeks. Since I got a Mac, and haven’t bothered to load OpenOffice on it or anything, I didn’t have a good way to edit word docs. The other thing is I wanted to collaborate on a few docs, so I figured, let’s [...]

IzyMail - Get Windows Live Hotmail on your iPhone

Since Microsoft doesn’t want to enable IMAP for Windows Live Hotmail accounts (It just started enabling POP3 for Hotmail Plus users), getting your Windows Live Mail on your iPhone just doesn’t work. This really stinks if it is your main email address. GMail on the iPhone stinks because of the threaded conversations - every time [...]

iPhone Woes! Syncing Contacts

Whew, finally got my contacts onto my iPhone. How?
I use Windows Live Custom Domains, which then I use Windows Live Mail. As you would think, none of this is supported on the iPhone in any way shape or form. There is no “over the air” sync of contacts either. Blah.

iPhone Free Unlock? Information is FREE!

Looks like the iPhone Dev Hackers Team has just released the source code for a free unlock so you can use the iPhone with any SIM…how sweet is that? It reminds me of the movie Antitrust - where they broadcast the source code over every device in the world!

RocketDock and Taskbar - Trying something new..

A friend was complaining going on about how Windows looks bad and Macs just look so cool, yadda yadda, and as I dug in deeper, it was like, “oooh the pretty icons at the bottom” and stuff like that.
So, I decided to look into options for Windows with a dock at the bottom. I know [...]

Best Facebook App? - Toolbar for Firefox

Everyone talks about how the applications within Facebook are awesome, which is true, they are, but they add on to Facebook. One app that I rarely hear about or see used though, the Toolbar for Firefox (http://developers.facebook.com/toolbar/)
This toolbar is awesome. If you have Firefox open, which throughout the day you usually do - it [...]

Windows Live Installer Thoughts

The other day, the Windows Live team came out with the Windows Live Installer which basically incorporates all the Windows Live programs into one installer, pretty nice.
Few things though..
1) You can uninstall the installer and it doesn’t ask you to uninstall any of the programs it installed
2) When you run it, it takes forever to [...]

King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Thursday, I went and caught the last showing of “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters”. What a hilarious movie. It is about basically, the Donkey Kong world record. This guy Billy Mitchell had it in 1982, and this guy is just a real character, like thinks he is the best player ever, just very [...]
