Those of you who don’t follow my Twitter posts might not have known about our trip to Indianapolis this weekend, and my subsequent first ever trip to a Fry’s Electronics. We don’t have them in Ohio, so it was sort of exciting. I thought the store was pretty cool, and was a neat place to…

Had to work around that! “Big Blue’s doing this because “the possible financial and reputational damage…
Marc Orchant trusted Google, at least until he heard about a small number of folks who seem to have lost their Gmail accounts, now he’s madly using Google’s POP3 access to grab a copy of all the email he has stored in Gmail. I use Gmail, I also use Outlook to access Gmail and make…
