Woo hoo, congrats! I'm nowhere. I'm kind of afraid of my own voice and visage, I think. Plus, I don't have a built in camera on my laptop. I have to haul a camera out of my funky bag of peripherals if I want to make a video.
- Laura Norvig
this would be a good 2010 resolution, though. I want to get into podcasting and vodcasting, even if it's only just a few short practice stints.

If your phone does video, that would give you an excuse to post more on 12seconds. Get your feet wet. Also, don't forget to play with Cinch. You don't need a camera...or even a computer. LOL. http://www.blackweb20.com/2009...

"Microsoft has dominated e-mail for years. Hotmail is one of the most popular web e-mail services, while Outlook remains the most popular desktop tool for reading and managing the inbox. Gmail on the other hand represents the rapid advance of online e-mail technology, which allows you to access your inbox from anywhere in the world. Which do you prefer? We want to know, so be sure to add your vote in the poll below and let us know what you think of desktop e-mail and Outlook versus Gmail and the advance of webmail in the comments."

This is a goofy match-up. Outlook is a corporate e-mail solution that just so happens to also have the ability to connect with non-corporate resources. Gmail is a non-corporate e-mail solution that just so happens to [arguably] have the ability to be used in a corporate environment.
- Akiva Moskovitz
For personal use, Gmail is a smart,fast and agile solution. For just send and receiving emails... But for professional uses, such as OneNote integration, Bulk sending, Synchronised contact management/grouping/nesting/managing/sharing ,built-in email,sms,messaging and fax management/sending /receiving, Sharepoint posting,RSS Reading/Sharing ,Email flow ruling etc. MS Outlook is still much better on the topics above...

I chose Gmail too myself. Although TBH as some have pointed out, this isn't a fair comparison. Still, Gmail + GCal >>> Outlook by far

Gmail for me. I stopped using Outlook ages ago. I like Gmail's price too. ;-)

"<snip> Gmail on the other hand represents the rapid advance of online e-mail technology, which allows you to access your inbox from anywhere in the world..." Lol, it sounds like they're saying Gmail pioneered webmail.

suppose outlook is getting it's own thing on.. for me it doesn't do it.. but need it because of the exchange integration.. and I use xobni to make it more bearable...
- Jaap Willem
I am migrating to Gmail, but I do have to say that Outlook with Xobni is pretty freakin' cool.
- Martha
yeah, with a filter and then xobni makes it ok.. still prefer Gmail for my own business though
- Jaap Willem
I never hated Outlook but as they add more and more features, it gets harder to just do the basic functions. I just want to get my mail, add items in my calender, tasks, and make the occasional change to my contacts. The current 2010 beta is very pretty, but I still can't figure out how to turn off the empty recycle bin confirmation message! It's driving me nuts!
- TheDreaming
Gmail. Outlook constantly crashes and freezes up.
- rowlikeagirl
Gmail. It's simple, with tens of thousands of emails, searching via Outlook is a time sink.
- John Hogenesch
They are completely different animals, so it's an unfair comparison. You should be comparing Gmail to Live Mail, as Outlook is just a desktop client which can be used with multiple servers (typically, with Exchange). As for me, I use both Gmail and Outlook less and less: they are both being substituted with push-email on my smartphones.
- Pavlo Zahozhenko
Surely it does, I use it. My point is that when the primary way to access email is via push-email on smartphone, email server itself is irrelevant (assuming it is stable enough).

For some reason, I am very excited about this. I probably shouldn't be but I am. I've become a big fan of Google. Not because I have a Google account, but because I am curious to see how Microsoft and Apple will respond to everything Google does. If these rumors are true, which I hope they are, Apple will be forced to release a netbook. Microsoft, hasn't released one yet, but many computer companies, like Gateway, HP have released netbooks. I am very excited to see Microsoft and Apple take on Google. Thins are getting good. Stay tuned!

I don't know all that much about it, actually. I got a message on LinkedIn from a recruiter asking me if I knew anyone that had a fairly niche-y skill set since I was in the Greenville area. I responded that *I* did but might not have the length of experience the client required and offered a suggestion of where he could advertise the position. Apparently that was enough to get him to actually look at my profile and he'd like to talk to me about it...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Good luck! I hope that once you talk with the recruiter, you both find that you're a good fit!
- vicster is...
If it's the position I think it is, I know it's something I can do. I just have to get my foot in the door and prove it.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Good luck with the interview tomorrow. Hopefully, it will result in an early Christmas present!
- Anne Bouey
I hope so Anne! Turns out my dad's pre-test interview for therapy got shifted back tomorrow morning so I have to do that first. If I wind up playing phone tag with the gent about the job again, I'm going to offer to meet up with him over lunch. Nothing like tasty noms to put someone in the hiring mood!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Hope this goes well - fingers are still crossed!
- WorldofHiglet
Well, I played phone tag with the gent earlier today but just got done with a 27 minute phone conversation with him. He seemed intrigued (and specifically complimented my phone demeanor) and is sending me more information about the position. I'm not exactly qualified for it per se, but I know it's something I can do well. My job at this point is to make myself look like an undiscovered gem *shines her facets*
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Sounds promising - I really hope they snap you up. And, if I may say so, your facets are looking particularly alluring today....
- WorldofHiglet
You've been discovered now; he just doesn't know what kind of gem he's found yet. Shine!

Enjoy the day and have some fun as today is your birthday! Happy Birthday Love, Dad"

I don't see anyone would feel the need to spend $300 on a polo shirt when I can get one for $10 from Just Jeans.
- Bryce Roney
Yeah, but I can see why you'd spend big on shoes or nice tailored dress shirts, etc...
- Tad
As someone that buys clothes on a need to basis, and then usually in Target or Walmart, I can't ever see me spending $300 on any item of clothing. I doubt if I've spent that much in the last ten years.
- Ian May
Well, this is obviously GQ. They don't necessarily appeal to the average joe.
- Derrick
I have to admit that I spent some time in an industry that supplied a uniform, and nowadays I work from home, so I don't have to dress for work. When I go visit clients, I do have some decent pants and shirts, if I need to, but then again that's usually after hours, so t-shirt and shorts is usually fine then too. I've got a suit in the closet that I don't think I've worn more than once in five years!
- Ian May
GQ's idea of 'affordable' or 'reasonably priced' is a little different from mine... But I don't hate 'em for it. That said, are they serious about the denim shirt w/ jeans? That's gotta be a front runner for the GQ regrets section in a couple of years. (Do they still have that?)

"NEW YORK — In almost every room people were sleeping, but not like babies. This was not the carefree sleep that would restore them to rise and shine for another day. It was the sleep before — and sometimes until — death. In some of the rooms in the hospice unit at Franklin Hospital, in Valley Stream on Long Island, the patients were sleeping because their organs were shutting down, the natural process of death by disease. But at least one patient had been rendered unconscious by strong drugs. The patient, Leo Oltzik, an 88-year-old man with dementia, congestive heart failure and kidney problems, was brought from home by his wife and son, who were distressed to see him agitated, jumping out of bed and ripping off his clothes. Now he was sleeping soundly with his mouth wide open. “Obviously, he’s much different than he was when he came in,” Dr. Edward Halbridge, the hospice medical director, told Oltzik’s wife. “He’s calm, he’s quiet.” Oltzik’s life would end not with a bang, but with the drip, drip, drip of an IV drug that put him into a slumber from which he would never awaken."

Here's a happy thought for the bunneh- I was in a pretty remote part of Mexico and even I found access to the internet. Most towns I encountered had at least one internet house. The city closest to us (~15k people) had more than 20. I talked to a few people who were getting internet via satellite as well. Good luck down there, Steven!!

"Coverage of topics like space exploration and the Earth should be mesmerizing. Instead, there's too much technical detail and silence."
- Jason Huebel
from Bookmarklet
WRONG. We have enough 'mesmerizing' rubbish on the Discovery Channel and Science Channel or whatever. There are some of us who have gone beyond the basics as well as the bombastic melodrama of the over-sensationalized doomsayer nonsense of OMG HERE COMES THE ASTEROID THAT WILL DESTROY US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want hard science. I want science as scientists see it. The last thing I want are PGA-style commentaries whispering vaguely pleasing nonsense throughout a launch. I'll take the silence.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Well, I agree about staying away from bombastic melodrama. But I have to admit, NASA TV can be really boring sometimes. The only time it isn't is typically when there's a launch or a spacewalk. And those are few and far between. It would be nice to have more content, at least.
- Jason Huebel
And there's the catch, right? We've spent ourselves into oblivion, so the idea that the government would fund NASA TV any better than they do now is kind of silly. The only other option would be commercial funding, which would just give us another Science Channel like you said. Honestly, I think NASA should shut down NASA TV and focus on Internet content and live streaming of significant events.
