And how exactly does this support the idea that ipad (without keyboard) is better than netbooks (with keyboard)?

So what? Does it matter if someone steals your credentials when you send e-mail or when you receive e-mail?

I'm not saying it's transported over SSL. I'm saying that spammers can't just sniff your password.

The authentication is encrypted. This is exactly what "Allow Plaintext Authentication: no" means in the setup instructions. Btw, you know were authentication is not encrypted? POP3. Doesn't help spammers that much, does it?

And by fiasco you mean the fact that it has been working on Mars 20 times longer than it was supposed to, don't you? What a failure!

No problem. A lot of journalists write reviews before they had time to actually watch the movie. Watching l33t "imax rips" is so-o-o much better and it's not like it's your job to do that (I hope)

What do you have against Firefly?

So, let me get this straight. You've watched half of the movie, which is intended to be seen in the 3D on the big screen, from a cam rip and you didn't like visuals? Why don't you go play Crysis in 640x480 with low quality and disabled physics then?

I guess this should be the only comment here, because their OWN recommendations contain EXACTLY the same exclusions. Go figure...
