Thursday, May 31st, 2007aMule is an open source eMule-like client. It enforces a strict upload/download ratio at the client side: You set the maximum upload rate, and your down rate is limited accordingly. For example, if you allow aMule to use 5 kB/s for upload, your maximum download rate is 20 kB/s. 9 ...

Recommended Todo web app: Vitalist
Wednesday, February 21st, 2007I've been looking for a good application to manage todo lists -- or Getting Things Done (GTD) as it's called these days.

Composing Hebrew Messages in GMail
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006Hebrew support in GMail is a bit problamatic.

Microsoft and Google
Monday, June 12th, 2006I think the cultural difference between Microsoft and Google is wonderfully illustrated by the title of the MSDN search form: MSDN Enhanced Search I'm willing to bet that you will never see a 'Google Enhanced Search' page.
