That's a splash? How about they're relocatting one of their factories and the entire Germany is upset

"At the SMX Conference in June 2007, Google software engineer Matt Cutts explained that while he supports different approaches to search, like Mahalo, it is untrue that humans have nothing to do with Google's search results. As examples of human involvement he cited Google's use of hyperlink analysis, toolbar voting, and user reporting of spam. Cutts suggested that Google would evolve to take advantage of social media. - wikipedia"

This approach from Google seems better than the "human-edited" part of wiki search, that would only slow down the development of the search engine rather than helping.

acer should consider selling systems bundled with ubuntu, just like dell does. and send the money that they spare this way (by not paying microsoft) as a donation to ubuntu, to speed up the development.

So what's the purpose of this program? It's not a real email client since doesn't help you at all with productivity (would like to see how it would handle 500+ emails a day), and it's not enticing enough for being a game (I mean sure, the bikini models could attract some horny teenagers, but after seeing the same avatar a couple of times they'll give up).

Mgnet? Damn these web 2.0 names, PollMappr, Tun3r, ... What happened to the good old-fashion uniqe name branding methods? Guess is less costly to just hack popular words.

To all impulsive buyers: It's just a phone. Calm down on Friday, take a deep breath and wait for 2-3 more weeks until the hype diminishes. I mean $500 for a phone? Wake up!!!

Hmm, they don't mention anything about the size, so 10Mb must be a limit for outgoing/incoming files. So much for setting options on the pdf to be created. I'm sure they'll launch also a monthly paid service version with other options, but right now there are lot of other pdf converters.

Come on, a new Windows due out in 2009? Who believes that? That's a statement for the shareholders.

Plus don't get me started on the Vienna name. It's a brand thing, the recommendation is always to use simple words, avoiding the use of double-letters. So they won't use that for sure.

"Laziness. Why go through the trouble of clicking a Donate button, go to PayPal, enter your details and click that Checkout button even if the software works the same before/after donation? To do a good deed? It's not worth the effort unless it's a killer application."

Total Commander is the best choice. Plus, if you're not bothered by the nag screen it's free too.
