It's a Pack of Gum? A Lighter? Nope, an MP3 Player


The Nomad MuVo, a digital music player and file-storage device from Creative, is a nifty gadget. Unlike most peripherals, it requires no cable to connect to a computer. Its core — smaller than a pack of gum — plugs directly into a U.S.B. port and acts as an additional drive. No file-transfer software is needed, and for Windows XP, 2000 and Me and Mac OS 9 and X, no drivers are needed either.

SPAM wer hat nicht genug davon ?


das konzept finde ich gut ist aber noch in beta:

POPFile Engine v0.4

  1. Acts as a full POP3 proxy between your email client and email server intercepting incoming mail sorting it and classifying it.

  2. POPFile streams incoming mail through a filter and then into a text classification engine that classifies the mail into one of any number of buckets that you define.

  3. POPFile also optimizes download speed. By sorting mail into ascending order of size downloads seem much faster on slow connections.

  4. POPFile automatically removes forged X-Text-Classification headers so that spammers can't use the system against you.

1,66 MB

¬> POPFile Beta 1.4

Things are moving along and I've now split POPFile into three tracks.
1. POPFile Engine

This is the POPFile POP3 proxy that you've been hearing about and then you can get from www.extravalent.com/software/popfile.

  1. POPFile Server

Currently under development is a multi-user server side version of POPFile.

  1. AutoFile

AutoFile is a native plug-in for a mail client that does not require a POP3 proxy, requires no configuration and does automatic mail sorting based on the current folder structure present in the mail client. The first version of AutoFile is a native plug-in for Outlook XP that works regardless of the underlying connection to the mail server (POP3, IMAP or Exchange) and does automatic mail sorting.

It's available for beta testing from www.usethesource.com/autofilexp.zip. Run setup.exe to install and you should see a new AutoFile and Learn toolbar in Outlook.

For AutoFile help, suggestions, rants and raves contact me on autofile@jgc.org.

Cheers, John.

Photos of Rumored New iPAQ


A Dutch Pocket PC site has posted some real-world photos of what appears to be a new iPAQ, confirming rumors that have been swirling in recent weeks. Among the juiciest tidbits: a "mouth-level" microphone that might indicate phone features; a built-in antenna (as seen in the photos) that's rumored to support 802.11b, Bluetooth and GSM (the three LEDs below the antenna lend some credence to this theory); and a smaller form factor than current iPAQs.
