SOFTLY SPOKEN, shy and retiring Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer sent an email to staff yesterday to complain that the company is not as wealthy as everyone thinks. According to Mr Ballmer, stories have been getting out that he is sitting on a fathomless cash ocean of billions of dollars and does nothing more than swim in the mountains of loot. He wanted to tell staff that it is not true because Microsoft needed a lot of cash.

NewsGator 1.3 Tightens Integration with Microsoft Outlook and Adds Newsgroup Support

NewsGator, the Premier News Aggregator for Outlook, Allows Users to Subscribe to Syndicated RSS News Feeds, and is First to Add Support for Newsgroups within Outlook

Denver, CO - August 5, 2003 - NewsGator 1.3, a new version of the popular news aggregator for Microsoft Outlook, was announced today by NewsGator Technologies. NewsGator retrieves news from news sites, weblogs, and other information sources that support the RSS syndication format, and automatically integrates the news items into Microsoft Outlook folders. In addition to RSS feeds, NewsGator 1.3 adds the ability to subscribe to NNTP (Usenet) newsgroups, the first tool of its kind to provide this capability within Microsoft Outlook.

The continued growth of RSS (Rich Site Summary) news syndication feeds makes NewsGator an extremely powerful way to stay abreast of rapidly changing information. Adding additional information sources such as newsgroups to NewsGator 1.3 further enhances this capability, bringing more business information into Outlook without driving users elsewhere to subscribe or search for it.

Version 1.3 also adds many frequently requested features to NewsGator, including tighter folder integration and support for multiple Outlook profiles. Tighter folder integration makes mapping folders to subscriptions easier, and support for multiple Outlook profiles helps corporate users access important information when on the road and disconnected from their Exchange server.

Further enhancing NewsGator’s offline support is the ability to compose new posts offline, which is a significant benefit for corporate users. Users can now compose new posts while offline and disconnected, and then post them later when they have a live network connection.

"The new support for newsgroups within Version 1.3 demonstrates NewsGator's leading edge capabilities for multiple information sources," said Chris Pirillo, president of Lockergnome. "This feature combined with the new offline posting support makes NewsGator the perfect information management tool for consumers and corporate users alike."

NewsGator users can monitor the ever-growing number of information sources supporting RSS syndication. News can be sorted, organized, grouped, or searched in countless ways, and features like offline reading make this information readily accessible at any time. NewsGator 1.3 works with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, and is available immediately from http://www.newsgator.com. Pricing is $29 (U.S.) per copy, with quantity discounts available.

The Search Engine Belt Buckle

The Search Engine Belt Buckle 08/27/2004 01:34 PM
I remember when I was Chairman of Infoseek Japan, I would get a weekly list of the top 100 search words. I remember loving this list. You could see watch trends and stuff, but mostly it made you realize just how sick people were. When I was around, the only US search term that beat adult content phrases was "Olympics" and the only Japanese query was "Tamagocchi" when it was all the rage.

Now uber-gadget-hacker Phillip Torrone has brought this experience to the street via the Search Engline Belt Buckle. It uses the SearchSpy service which shows real search queries and is provided by Dogpile, the metasearch engine.

I suppose this is slightly more useful than an RSS feed of my weight, but definitely harder to build.

Karl Lagerfeld put these Chanel-branded TV belts on runway models during their Spring/Summer 2005 show, harnessing the captivating double-team of the moving image and the swaggering crotch. Chanel has said there are no plans to bring the TV Belts into production, but you can surely do something similar if you can scrounge up an old crotch somewhere.

legitimate mail 01/22/2004 02:11 AM
Wanadoo, the French ISP, recently volunteered its entire dial-up IP range to the SMTP blacklists: BTOpenworld, a leading UK ISP, followed suit last week. Yahoo is touting their own proprietary extensions to SMTP; BT recently managed to mess up the DNS configuration of post.btinternet.com, resulting in them getting RBL'd. If several Small - and major - ISPs cannot configure their servers correctly such that mail can get through, what hope is there?
