Want a 15" screen? You WILL be having an i7 then.

(which might account for why Apple's 'entry' level 15" is 3x the cost of its competitors (UK))

5 overall states for email:

unread

read+star (urgent/reminder)

read (todo/reference for current tasks/projects)

archived (done + keep for reference)

deleted (done + not needed for reference, or ignored altogether) - so "your amazon order shipped" etc.

I don't keep the inbox empty, but there are only emails regarding ACTIVE tasks/conversations in it, its natural state is 0 unread emails, as if you don't do that, well chaos awaits.

Archive Tip; you can reply+archive; gmail resurrects the whole conversation if you get a reply back, so you can pick up the whole thing if something you thought was done with gets resurrected. (useful for those "here's an answer, hit me up again if that's no good" replies)

The flip side is; I don't bother with labels at all, search just seems to render that redundant as far as I can see.

I am not a Dave.

Basically the unix bits are (far) less resource hungry than Photoshop...

Neither of the RF chambers I used had the foam cones on the floor; just carbon tiles.

Sounds like a key indicator that S-O is ripe for displacement...

On the other hand; DPA violation doesn't result in prison, just a (potentially large) fine.

On the third hand, its quite possible that Path did not violate the DPA (although its possible they did). The DPA, in short states that you have to gather personal info for a specific, consensual purpose, and not use it for any other, and also store it in a way that protects it from loss/theft/misuse - where misuse includes deciding 6 months down the line to use it for another purpose. It also means that if your 'purpose' for holding that information ceases, you are legally obligated to purge the data - your legal permission to hold ends.

So; was there consent - almost certainly not, hence possible DPA violation. But once it was clear they had no broad public consent - they immediately purged the data, so possibly no _deliberate_ violation, and certainly a demonstration of willingness to correct the situation.

Ergo; using an uncommon usage, you have to accept that many people won't understand you. Creating understanding is the essence of effective communication :)

That the possibility for an email client to be so configured that it would AUTOMATICALLY process a false positive validation, makes this system utterly unusable for any developer with a [brain|conscience].

Oh god yes. Everyone who reads your comment is hoping you don't work with financial, personal, confidential or (eek) classified information.

It also makes you look like: A - amateurs B - you don't understand or care about markets outside the US

Are you serious? Try WEB SEARCH.

Actually; Web Search Web Advertising Web Based Email Online Mapping

They're not exactly failing in the Browser market either.

If you stop thinking in terms of Buzz and Wave etc, Google, when entering an arena with an existing proven market to attack, have a record of becoming the big dog in the yard quite handily.

(I've been eagerly waiting for 2 years)

Maybe they all had Playstations?

We reached that point quite a while ago. What we are seeing now is the result of that point being reached, without anyone realising at the time.
