Fallujah: Super Dud?. What if they threw a battle and the opposition didn't show up? Sounds like most Super Bowls: huge hype; then a one-sided pummeling when one side rolls over.(in this case to fight another day) Stubborn people these are who don't... By Chris Dominguez. [LewRockwell.com Blog] Ironically, it's actually better for the Busheviks that the rebels cleared out instead of making a heroic last stand. I "Remember the Alamo," even if the Busheviks don't. 2:06:39 PM    comment () Google to give Gmail POP3 support, plans antivirus. Google Inc. will roll out POP3 (Post Office Protocol) support gradually over the coming weeks to Gmail users, who will be able to use the feature to download e-mail messages from Gmail servers to e-mail applications on devices such as PCs and wireless devices. [MacCentral News] I'm rather surprised by this development, especially given Google's position as given in the article: "Google considers POP3 support a must-have for Gmail." Most webmail services have wanted to keep their users trapped inside their web interface. Google's decision to support POP3 makes Gmail much more useful in general. I do have a Gmail account, although I don't normally use it--I've had my orange-road.com address for eight years now, and I rather like it that way. However, if it weren't for that history I would probably be willing to use Gmail as my primary email service. 2:02:00 PM    comment ()
