British Inside

This experiment is fascinating. I now have CA's version of CallingID toolbar in FF/IE and it is really interesting to watch. The big names are obviously all green, but some very well known sites are yellow. Most small sites are yellow, but some are red. Red causes all sorts of traffic to leave immediately I'd imagine. Or not even go there ...

I was getting fed up with my Samsung i700 - my pretty old fashioned Pocket PC brick. Every day I have to re-align the screen, and once a week the stylus falls out. It's on the bottom of the phone for goodness sake! And then last night I opened the mail and got a flyer about the Motorola Q. Holy crap, this thing is 0.45" thick and ...

Despire them telling me "There are also thousands of other users successfully using this same exact configuration at the moment so something very subtle must be wrong" I just ...

I'm disappointed. I've had a Samsung i700 for a while and love it, but I haven't tried browsing online before. So last night while watching Molly at Karate I tried to blog. Surpringly, I browsed to the site just fine, nothing to set up, download or pay for, and typed in a new blog. However, when I hit save the browser reported a ...
