The basics of how email works hasn't changed much since its invention, but even forty years later, there are still tiny features and enhancements that can make dealing with large volumes of email easier. Your email client already provides message attachments, filtering, HTML email, auto-fill contacts, spell-checking, folders or labels, keyboard shortcuts, search, and an advanced spam filter. What else do you need? Well, as people rely on email as a primary means of communication, ...

I especially like the idea of 'attachment reminders', I've been caught by that and seen others caught out too. On a tangent, I made the change to Gmail for my personal mail a few weeks back and am really digging tagging instead of foldering. One-to-many much better characterises how I want to organise my email than the way Outlook/Apple Mail behave.

Gartner is projecting that worldwide IT spending till top $3.4 trillion in 2008, up 8 percent from a year ago. That's the good news. The bad: Much of that growth is based on the decline of the U.S. dollar, which helps American technology vendors. If you factor out the decline of the dollar, which has fueled technology earnings, global IT spending will be up 4.5 percent in 2008. That tally still isn't that shabby. Gartner ...

Mint, an online personal finance site, has gotten a facelift. The new site sports a much cleaner design than the previous iteration, and appears to be focused on describing what Mint actually does rather than presenting pretty (but somewhat overwhelming) graphics. For now the improvements are mainly on the external portion of the site (for non-members), with the members’ portion switching to the new design in the next few weeks. That normally isn’t big news, ...

Unit Testing is one of the pillars of Agile Software Development. First introduced by Kent Beck, unit testing has found its way into the hearts and systems of many organizations. Unit tests help engineers reduce the number of bugs, hours spent on debugging, and contribute to healthier, more stable software. In this post we look at a dozen unit testing tips that software engineers can apply, regardless of their programming language or environment. 1. Unit ...

I complain about my email inbox problems endlessly, and even performed a major purge a couple of days ago that wiped out over 23,000 unread emails. I don’t know what the solution is, but I think it may ultimately involve an admin of some sort despite my stubborn hope for a software solution to make things right.

Compare! The bar graph is read left to right and seems to imply something about the declining relevance of Billygoats (even though close inspection shows that we expect high growth in billygoats next year). There's data here, but no information. The pie chart contains far less data, but the point is obvious: Trolls are where we should focus our energy. That's why you use it. It makes an obvious point and leaves no real room ...

This guy is so wrong about this that it makes me want to pull my hair out. There is no reason why the bar graph couldn't be as simple as the (always horrible) pie chart.

Eduo said:
Cuan cierto. Cómo cuesta explicarle a la gente que una gráfica en una presentación es equivalente a una generalización. Si no transmite un mensaje o si hay que meterse en los valores específicos es que no corresponde ahí. Alternativamente, una gráfica en un ensayo o reportaje deben proveer información y suponen que quienes las ven se van a detener a obtener información.

Now it looks like you can get that iPhone 2.0 software, too, and get the apps to your phone via an update found by MacRumors. You have to download it manually via this link. Use caution, however. To install the software after it has downloaded, remove the ...
