Is Google Android The Next Dominating Operating System?

ffwblc1yIf you’re keeping track of the technology trends in the market you’ll notice that Google’s Android is really making a name for itself and establishing itself as the dominant operating system.  The development and saturation of the operating system have been impressive to say the least.

It’s a weird feeling to be in a situation where the windows operating system has been such a dominant position for so long, it’s hard to imagine another operating system coming out of nowhere within just a past couple of years and placing Microsoft on its heels in a category from which Microsoft should be dominating.

It’s a strange vibe…

eM Client: The Evolution Of The E-mail Client

image A little over a year ago I did a review on very promising new e-mail client/Personal Information Manager called eM Client. I’ve been so impressed with the software that I’ve kept the application loaded upon my machine so that I could connect easily, later and do another review of the software.

It was time to revisit eM Client and do another in-depth review of the application to see what’s changed and to find out what improvements have been made.

When I do a review of an application, I’m reviewing the application based upon its usability, its practicality, and the raw function that brings to the users. I like to look at the applications as though if I’m going to be the one making the purchasing decisions and if the application offers everything the average users would be looking for [...]

Windows Live Writer 2009: Firefox v3.6+ BLOG THIS

3pgrljzqIt’s no secret that the developers from Microsoft for Windows Live Writer and the BLOG THIS plug-in for Firefox haven’t been keeping up with demand from the public.

It’s been over a year since the plug-in was updated. As you read through the reviews of the plug-in and you can see it’s just being completely ignored by the Microsoft Windows Live Writer team.

There’s a lot of bloggers out there that use Windows Live Writer to do their publishing, but as Firefox progresses and adds new features, the Windows Live Writer team hasn’t been placing much love on the much used plug-in; they haven’t updated it in a great while.

But now you don’t have to worry about that… there’s a workaround.

Personal Information Manager: MyNotesKeeper

MyNotesKeeper 10292009As your going about your daily life, there’s lots of thing you wish you had to keep track of it all and this was my problem about 4 years ago and then I found MyNotesKeeper. I posted an article about it last year, but it’s getting better, the author has been [within the last few months] actively pushing updates and new features.

One of the things I really like about MyNotesKeeper is the responses from the author; you don’t get it much with other developers, but with MyNotesKeeper he’s been listening to his users and adding the small thing they’re requesting. It really puts a polish on a great program.

Mozilla Thunderbird 3 beta 2: Not trendy enough

image Mozilla Thunderbird 3 [shredder] is still in Beta. I download the beta yesterday and I just am not impressed with anything they’re pumping out. They’re making a lot of corrections and the bugs they’ve corrected is extensive, but where’s the functionality?

A lot of users are loyal to Thunderbird and 3 years ago it was the cats meow, but since the Thunderbird Spin-off release it’s been a slow boat for these guys.

I think what’s worse is that there’s other developers that have taken the original open-source project and made their own flavor and made it better.
