    I'm still a MindMeister fan for the simple fact that I can access it anywhere through the InterTubes.

    Probably not the spirit of the question, but I'll say it anyway:

    Didn't we do this a few weeks ago? VOTE: Vista Search.

    @Anrui: lol...they probably have the brand name "Stash Sandals" imprinted on the bottom too, so you can follow the trail right to the loot.

    @chrispowell: You're right, and that's exactly why I stopped using it. The last time I got burned by that "trick" was trying to register my copy of Alcohol 120. Their servers spit it back saying '+' was not allowed in an email address.

    Yikes, the future of the web just about put me to sleep. Looks to me to be a jumbled mess of icons. *shudder*

    New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and Charlotte

    First thing I did when I got my gmail inbox was to turn that thing off. It really bugs me when software developers cram irrelevant options into programs. Why would I want news headlines while I'm reading my email? I don't go onto [washingtonpost.com] expecting to see my email.

    @Sanjo: Speeding up your system doesn't mean you're unhappy with it. There are plenty of tweak/speed guides for XP and Firefox — doesn't mean people aren't fans of that software.

    We initiated something like this at our workplace, where the boss displays kudos we've gotten from customers every quarter. It's a fun way to give your workers their well-deserved props.

    I guess it's b/c I use Excel everyday, but gees...those are some boring tips.

    Economics is one thing, blatant theft is quite another. I bought my Samsung A650 TV last month, which has a 120 Hz panel. The guy at circuit City tried to sell me a $150 Monster cable that was "rated" for 120 Hz. The truth is, there is no such thing as a cable rated at 120 Hz, and in fact, no device actually outputs

    I've tried Evernote and Outlook and Google Notebook and I keep going back to pen & paper. the biggest reason for me is that I don't have to log on to something before writing down or viewing my notes. It was such a pain to have one foot out the door to a meeting or the grocery store and realize that I have to log on

    but...why? Google works just fine.

    * Can you fit it into a subject line? No?

    Ugh, that thing looks enormous. I'm shedding all my huge media players and going back to light and non-intrusive. I've fallen in love with Spider Player for just that reason. It plays and streams my music in a little corner, without taking half a minute to load up big shiny metallic screens of album art, dials,

    Some of these suggestions on email are so odd that I can't help but think the authors have no idea how a real office job works. Here's what I do...

    Thanks a lot for the rundown, but...meh. This just means more program bloat for my computer. All I do is open two instances of Explorer and huzzah, dual panes.

    Wow, I didn't realize so many people were afraid of actual communication with real live people. Speaking with people is a skill that takes practice and people appreciate a real conversation.

    I have a few MB of RAM to spare, so that's not why I'd use this. I'm intrigued because it looks like it shaves all the bloat—er, sorry, features—off uTorrent. Tabs and graphs and this and that. Just let me set up my dl and begone!
