Ignore the screwed up formatting. I think I forgot to close a tag.

But with 10.6, the OS itself will support Exchange

Sure about that? I thought it was just in Mail.app (and friends). You're saying that Thunderbird under 10.6 could potentially be made to support Exchange?

Dead Space. It isn't particularly original, but it's highly polished and what I'd consider quality.

Instead of a fancy apartment we see industrial manufacturing

The funny thing is that the apartment probably isn't even there. The scenes look like they were shot against a green screen (and badly at that). Look at the woman's pixelated hair. Pretty mediocre craftsmanship, I'd say.

There's a ton of usability work behind Office 2007. I don't know if anything's actually published, but Jensen Harris, a Program Manager from Microsoft, has been blogging a lot about the UI and the thoughts behind the ribbon.

Thanks. I hadn't thought about outright blocking it.

Speaking of which, why won't Slashdot let me turn the tags off?

Submission + - Charter implements SiteFinder-like DNS

Submitted by paulbiz on Wednesday February 14, 2007 @06:24PM

paulbiz writes: It appears Charter Cable's DNS servers have just started resolving all invalid hostnames and pointing them to their own error page. The about page states "This service automatically eliminates many of the error pages you may encounter as you surf the web. No software was installed on your computer for this service to work." It has an "opt-out" page, but when you "opt-out" it simply sets a cookie that makes their page redirect errors to Microsoft Live Search instead!
