Register reviews the 12-inch Powerbook: "The Register's review of the 12-inch Powerbook is probably the most thorough I've read. They waited until they'd been using the machine for a month before writing about it in order to avoid the knee-jerk "wow"-type of review that I've heard too often." [Sample the Web]

Mac OS X spam filter -- Comment()
Mail.app spam filter a dud? "One of the big selling-points for Apple's Mail application in OS X is the adaptive spam filter. Reviewers have gone wild praising how wonderful it is, and how it gets rid of 95% of their spam. In my experience, it has been catching about one fifth of the junk, and letting 80% through." [The Fishbowl] I have been satisfied with the filter, although the efficiency has diminished during the last six months. In the beginning, almost 90% of the spam was stopped, and now only about 80%. In any case, 2-5 spam messages getting through of about 20 per day is not so bad. The filter needs an update, that is for sure. But it still is an excellent tool. Perhaps the good efficiency for me is due to the fact that there is not so much Finnish-language spam as there is English.
