Want tabbed browsing on *ugh* Internet Explorer? You can have it, as advertised on Microsoft’s Windows website. It even comes with a popup blocker *ooh!* and a search bar *wow*.

Firefox revived Yesterday I forwarded this BBC News article about how Mozilla browsers have taken 7% of the browser market share at Internet Explorer’s expense, to my boss and team-mates.

Thunderbird only seems to have options to import data from Eudora and Netscape. I seem to be having the same problems as this guy. Can …

Searching for a new smart phone My Nokia 6600 has become increasingly slower in opening programs (even if other programs are not running in the background), …
I just downloaded the demo version of Delicious Library, a delightful OS X tool that catalogues your book, movie, music and game collections, links them up with Amazon.com resources and displays them in high-res quality on a virtual bookshelf. The interface works pretty much like iTunes. Cool options? Rather than type in all your titles, …
I will be heading off to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow morning for a day trip. Until then, ta ta and enjoy the rest of your weekend …
