UPS Roundup [Roundup, Bjorn3d]
Bonnie. Charlie. Frances. Ivan. Jeanne. Are these the names of 17th century
British ships? Paris Hilton's puppies? Guests at a swinger's party? No, they
were Atlantic hurricanes in 2004 that had a direct impact on my home state of
Florida. I was fortunate in that their destructive power was primarily focused
outside of my city, but my home was still directly impacted by several of the
storms. In addition to high winds and heavy rain, our home's power continually
surged, dimmed, and went out completely for over 36 hours. By the time Frances
blew through, I was really convinced I needed a UPS! Sat, 04 Dec, 2004 | 22 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Gmail: Stop the Whining! [Editorial, ExtremeTech]
Search engine superpower Google recently announced its intentions to offer free a Web mail service, called Gmail, to its users. Well, as we all know, no good deed goes unpunished and Gmail is no exception. As soon as the Internet giant announced the specifics of its offering, privacy advocates and others began lambasting the company, complaining that Google's policies would violate user's privacy rights. While legitimate feedback on such a service can be useful, some "advocates" have gone off the deep end and engaged in outright and crass demonization of Google.
