Google Labs introduces advanced IMAP controls for Gmail (Download Squad)

Oct 15th 2008 12:22PM What is the point in having an email client that doesn't have all your mail? Not syncing 'All Mail' means you can't search for an old email - only for what is in your inbox. I'd rather use the Gmail web interface, and have access to all my mail, than use a client that won't let me search all my email..

The Wire: Clarifications (AOL TV)

Feb 26th 2008 1:42PM The author says: "If it already aired, it ain't a spoiler. Sorry"

Pretty arrogant thing to say when so many readers were obviously unhappy. I expect there to be spoilers. I don't expect to have them forced on me.

I read this blog for news and reviews, and if I haven't seen a show, I can normally skip over the review. But putting such a major plot point in the first sentence made it impossible to avoid; it is just a thoughtless thing to do. If you make it impossible to avoid spoilers, there is not much point if visiting this site.

Bones: Stargazer In A Puddle (season finale) (AOL TV)

May 17th 2007 12:04PM I'm sorry, but how can someone do a review of this show if they are so unfamiliar with it that they do not know that Billy Gibbons is Angela's father? And how can you not mention the best moment of the show, with Bones and Booth standing at the alter looking at each other, saying "what do we do now?" with the preacher beaming in the background?

The Black Donnellys: Pilot (series premiere) (AOL TV)

Feb 27th 2007 1:37PM This is another show where there are no good guys. The main characters kidnap, rob and murder. Why am I supposed to care about these 4 jerks?

House: Merry Little Christmas (AOL TV)

Dec 13th 2006 1:26PM While I like this show, I agree with Susan J that Wilson seems to have been made into a 'bad' guy, even though his whole career is being ruined by House. Plus, in this episode Wilson has been turned into a dunce by the writers, unable to help at all. In previous episodes Wilson was a smart guy, sometimes pointing out things that House missed.

In real life, the House/Wilson friendship would be over. For that matter, House would have been suspended or fired, no matter how good a doctor he is. I think the writers have taken things to far to be believable anymore.

Kevin Reilly fighting for Friday Night Lights, Studio 60, 30 Rock (AOL TV)

Nov 1st 2006 5:25PM S60 isn't "blue state", its just isn't very interesting unless you are completely enamored with show business. I loved Sports Night, and watched West Wing.. but S60 just doesn't hold my interest.

A browser just for Gmail (TUAW.com)

May 13th 2006 11:20PM While I'm glad that many people seem to be satisfied with Mail.app, many are not (check out the Apple support forum for Mail sometime!) This dedicated browser is great as far as I'm concerned. It takes up less resources than Mail or a 'full' browser, like Camino, but gives you what you need for using Gmail.

Arguing about what mail program you like better is probably pointless. But if you prefer Gmail, this is a great way to access it.
