Nokia Collector: "Transfer and store images, videos, and other files from your phone [...] Keep items synchronized between your phone and your Mac." Would this work with the Nokia 9500 Communicator? If it works, this would be the ideal way to transfer and sync files between my PowerBook and Nokia 9500.

Windows pests are hard to eradicate -- Comment()
Anti-Spyware Test: 'No single anti-spyware scanner removes everything. Even the best-performing anti-spyware scanner in these tests missed fully one quarter of the "critical" files and Registry entries.' It seems that it is really difficult to get rid of the Windows pests. Work, work, work to maintain a safe computer.

Fake Lego burned to heat Finnish homes: "About ten tons of counterfeit Lego blocks were destroyed at the Kymeenlaakso waste processing plant in Anjalankoski on Thursday. The plastic will be mixed with other waste and burned at a district heating plant in Lahti [...] Johannes Qvist, regional manager of Lego in Finland said that in addition to commercial considerations, the destruction was also a safety issue, as the pirated Legos do not comply with toy safety standards."

Requiem for Watson -- Comment()
Watson Available For Free: "Dan Wood, the developer of Watson, has posted information on his blog about how to obtain a free version of Watson, along with a registration code that will enable the software. Wood sold Watson to Sun a few months ago, and is no longer able to actively develop the software or provide enhancements." [MacSlash] Watson has been a favorite tool of mine for several years. It is a pity to see it disappear (slowly but inevitably the functionality will deteriorate).
