Using “Delivery”, one of the sample D.C.L applications, I just installed a package on my Newton over an AirPort connection without entering any IP configuration information. My Newton discovered my PowerBook over Rendezvous. Wirelessly.[~stevenf]

Doing a fair bit of file-sharing this evening…
As I import Disc 1 of Tosca Delhi 9 (promo copy) into iTunes, I realize that the album (encoded at 192!), which I pre-ordered at Amazon, is not even scheduled to ship until between 3/4 and 3/10. Yes I did still keep my order. I am a [...]

In order to unsubscribe to an MSN newsletter, you must actually sign into your Passport account. Since I don’t use Hotmail or MSN, my account was put on hold. When I tried to reactivate, the MS Server told me it was too busy… like there are that many people doing that same thing [...]

This past week I have been messing with a couple of tools: Zoë and POPfile.
POPfile, pre-checks, classifies and buckets my mail into the following categories: Commerce, Lists, Newsletters, Personal, Spam and Work
Mail then checks POPfile and can immediate sort spam to Junk as well as handle my other buckets in ways I want via rules.

The first Danger HipTop with a color screen has turned up, but the catch is that it’s only going to be sold in Europe at first. Danger wants to sell more of its monochrome HipTops before they introduce a color one here. Word is that the color HipTop should go on sale in Europe within [...]

“ZOE can [now] be directly integrated with Apple’s Mail.app by turning every email address and date into hyperlinks inside Mail.app itself.” (!) [Xspot]
