How Many Engineers Does It Take To Make Hotmail Work In Google Chrome?
Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday January 29, 2009
With yesterday's release of IE8 RC, I was reminded of an annoyance my partner had when I first installed Google Chrome because she was unable to use her Hotmail (short for the official name Windows Live Hotmail and not to be confused with Windows Live Mail) account properly using the new browser. I checked if the e-mail service - among the most popular webmail services in the world - was working better now that Chrome is a couple of months old, out of beta and - admittedly slowly - taking bits of market share on a daily basis.

Suse Studio: Linux customization for the masses
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday January 27, 2009
One of the great promises of software is its infinite malleability: software can be whatever you want, so long as you have the skills necessary (and legal rights) to modify it.
Despite this promise, software has long sought to replicate physical goods: mass-produced with customization, if any, coming post-sale by a system integrator or other consultant. This has helped churn out billion-dollar software companies such as Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft, but it has failed to satisfy customer demand for a tailored fit.
