For some bizarre reason, the thought at the top of my head last night at bedtime was… “I wonder if sometimes… open source developers deliberately code bugs or withhold fixes for financial gain?” If you don’t follow what I mean, here’s where I was: often times, large corporations or benefactors will offer a code fix [...]
I really can’t believe this hasn’t been pointed out before… so I guess I’ll do the dirty work and try to fan the flames of rumor. This started when I read Paul Thurrott’s latest blog post, with which I could not agree more. Then, I decided it’s time to blog about this and see if [...]

Once again, the iPhone rules the press with a heavy dollop of enticing news. There’s a lot here on the surface and a lot below the surface. Let’s scratch the surface first.

Last night I attended the MacBU WWDC 2007 reception. It was quite the party. I met the new GM of MacBU, Craig Eisler. He’s a very energetic fellow. One fo the MacBU devs described him as “kinetic.” That’s probably accurate. We spoke a little bit about issues with Entourage that plague our mail system, but [...]
Well, tonight is another night for that New Year’s thing. First off, let me say… Happy 2007! Today we ate/socialized with Whitey and Vo0 at Cheeburger Cheeburger in Providence. Funtastic time! Thanks for the Christmas gift, guys! I can hardly wait to play it! I’m glad you guys are back in town and enjoying it [...]
Aquatix was asking on a post or two ago about, “How is deprecating webdav a good thing?” The problem with webdav is that while webdav is meant to be a standard, I’ve rarely met a client that handled it properly. I would also point out that some of these problems were not implementations with the [...]
I hope the Evolution developers are sitting up and paying attention to Exchange 2007. Exchange 2007 is intended to be a bridge toward a web services model for communicating with the server for all functions external to the system. WebDAV is deprecated.
