Google enables POP checking for some Gmail users (Download Squad)

Dec 9th 2006 5:05PM @Huw

It's not a one-or-the-other proposition, you know. Both could and should be available.

I'd also like to see Google do something with LDAP.

The best of the feed readers (Download Squad)

Jun 10th 2006 2:11PM Gregarius (http://gregarius.net/) is a good choice for those that have web hosting space with PHP/MySQL support. It's like having your own personal Bloglines that will never go away.

Bad luck with PowerBooks (TUAW.com)

Nov 28th 2005 7:57AM Just like Jon Hicks, my PB's lid latch broke after one week. After two weeks if trying to ignore the problem, I visited an Apple Store and had it sent in to be fixed. I had my PB back three days later, but the screen returned with one dead pixel, one stuck pixel and uneven back-lighting. Happy with my PB, not so much with the repair.

Azstarnet.com offers tips on avoiding "iPod finger" (TUAW.com)

Nov 21st 2005 11:38PM The thumb thing sucks. I almost dropped my iPod mini the first day I had it because of how low the click wheel is. I wish the screen and wheel could swap positions. It'd also be kinda neat if you could turn the iPod "upside-down" and have the screen flip horizontally to follow. I'm probably alone on this one.

Backup.app finally usable (Download Squad)

Sep 22nd 2005 1:14AM Hmm, I can use Backup even though I don't have a .Mac account. I'm limited to 100MB per backup, but still...

No file size from iTMS (TUAW.com)

Sep 9th 2005 4:16PM My subscribed podcasts are now showing up in playlists that they weren't in previously. Is anyone seeing this on their iTunes or iPods? Do we now need to exclude podcasts somehow?

Engadget asks: How would you change Gmail? (Download Squad)

Aug 16th 2005 12:29AM I would like GMail to be my MX so I can use my own personal domain with GMail's web interface. I'd even pay for the service.

Two Free Graphical Drive Space Analysis Tools (Download Squad)

Aug 15th 2005 8:19PM It's nice to (finally) see at least one graphical tool like this for OS X. Having said that, I have no complaints against WhatSize which has served me quite well since Day 2 of my PowerBook. I love that I can make it look like Finder's Column View. http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
