Just a reminder to all of you already using the new Firefox browser. The full version 1.0 is now available at getfirefox.com. If you aren’t using Firefox yet, I still highly recommend it. It will only take a couple minutes to download (with a fast connection). It will install in just a few minutes, and you won’t have to deal with Explorer anymore.
And speaking of Microsoft failures, we get this report from Fox News. It claims that Bill Gates is the King of junk email. No, he apparently is not the one creating the junk mail. He receives more junk than any of the rest of us, upwards of 4 million items per day.
Ballmer said Microsoft has special technology that just filters spam intended for Gates. In addition, several Microsoft employees are dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox.
“Literally there’s a whole department almost that takes care of it,” he said.
I always assumed that Bill would have a private email separate from the one that apparently 4 million people know. But here’s what gets me. Microsoft has this special software just for Gates. When is the public going to get it, if it’s so good? Then again, how good can it be if there is a department people dedicated to filtering the leftover mail? Now I ask myself why I should trust Microsoft at all if they can’t even create software to filter email for one of the richest people in the world.
I’m starting to seriously doubt the people at MS… almost as much as I doubt the people in the federal government, especially the post office. God help us all.
