Outlook on the desktop

I guess I’m the last person to hear about Windows Live Writer!

Moving my iTunes library from XP to my new iMac 20“

Spring cleaning in December

How real is the need for speed? Om Malik asked the question earlier this week and has some fascinating facts which show that beyond a certain connection speed, there is no perceptible difference in the experience.

An entire session can be timed from the moment you start, comments from [...]
