Someone asked me:
“Joel,
I read your last post on Thunderbird and noticed you said [...] that you were “over client based email”. I use Thunderbird. Why do you say that? What don’t you like about [...], client based applications?” – Yes I paraphrased. But spelling is intact.

Happy to see this, because I know several friends of mine have been working on this in the background at Google, and what a good job they have been doing as well. I have visions of these guys in dimly lit rooms sitting around keyboards, their faces awash in the white glow of XCode, furiously [...]
For those of you that have been living under a rock for the past year, you probably have not heard the rumor that Apple is supposedly making a “Tablet” Computing device.
The first really, kind of, official note about that came out today by way of a speech given by the New York Times.

I use Gmail on the web. No local client. (This [...]
Something I didn’t know was there, but again, it’s one of those hidden new gems buried inside of Snow Leopard.
(This post is for my OS X users out there. Obviously.)
You know when you minimize an application to the Dock, the Dock places the minimized application over on the right hand side of the dock, [...]
Been running Snow Leopard since yesterday. As Apple promised, on the surface, you can’t really tell that anything is different. When you click on the dock, you notice the popup is different. You notice the stacks are different when you click on them. You notice the 20Gb (Yes, GB!) of space [...]
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple days, as plastered all over Twitter and every computer related gadget site, Snow Leopard, the next release of OSX is coming out on Friday.This release is mostly enhancements to the Leopard operating system, not really any new “features” per say (even though there [...]
