I guess I was wrong. The rumor last May from WSJ was true after all.
$44.6 Billion. Wow. I guess the number is so big, we can’t really understand it (especially the value). Our minds are just not hard-wired to hearing such numbers.
I hope it’s good for Yahoo! employees. I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but there are lots of competing products between Yahoo and Microsoft. Someone has to go or move on.
It’s sad for the yahooeys. But I guess it’s the only way to save the company. Now, how do you yodel Microsoft? See? It didn’t sound right eh?
Do you Yahoo Microsoft?

It was reported long ago that this Javascript trick does not work anymore. Well, just for heck of it, I tried it using Safari 3 and the easter egg for showing more @live email domains still works.
Here’s how:
- Open up your Safari 3 browser on your Mac (haven’t tested on Windows)
- Visit this link http://get.live.com/getlive/overview
- Click the “Sign Up” button
- On the Address Bar, enter this Javascript code:
javascript:function r(q){} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById(’idomain’).options);r(d=’live.’);r(a = new Array(d+’com’,d+’com.au’,d+’be’,d+’ca’,d+’co.uk’,d+’de’,d+’fr’,d+’it’,d+’nl’)); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++){ s(i ) }alert(’Success - additional domains added!’);
Press ENTER.
You should now see the confirmation alert that you have successfully added additional domains (see below):
Click OK and off you go. You should now see the available domains for you to choose from.
Currently the available domains are:
- Live.com
- Live.com.au
- Live.be
- Live.ca
- Live.co.uk
- Live.de
- Live.fr
- Live.it
- Live.nl
Pretty cool huh? 
Enjoy!

Remember The Milk (RTM) launches a Firefox extension that allows you to manage your tasks in Gmail (complete, postpone, and edit tasks), add new tasks (and connect them with your emails, contacts, and Google Calendar events), automatically add tasks for starred messages or specific labels, and more…
To use it, you’ll need to use Firefox (isn’t mentioned above yet?). Who needs IE anyway?
The guys at RTM are on steriods rapid launching products such as MilkSync (for Windows Mobile), iPhone / iPod touch App, Google Calendar integration, Google Gears Offline access this year and now Gmail integration!
So, what’s next on RTM’s list? Mac Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Live Mail integration? Maybe in 2008.
Sign-up now (FREE) if you don’t have an account yet.
Kudos to the RTM team. You rock!

If you’re one of those few people that are interested in using Safari on Windows, then you’ll probably be interested to know that the Beta has been updated. The update is up to version 3.0.4 and you can now resize the window from any side, and there are new hot key settings and font smoothing options.

If you have $150, what would you buy? A 30GB Zune or a 4GB iPod Nano?
Still a tough choice huh? Hint: #2.

I just installed Xobni (inbox backwards) and I found it very useful. I can’t really put a word on the application but it’s like placing Google search, analytics, but for your email. It’s cool!
Xobni extracts bits of useful information on your emails and place them conveniently on the sidebar (if you are using Outlook). Some of them are phone numbers, attachment discovery, threaded conversations, related persons, email count per person and ranking, and more.
There are a lot more features but I’d let this page tell you more about it.
We were developing something similar (but online version) under the codename Udeko (now known as Xackup) almost 4 years ago. It never came to production because we had to shift to other business models - backup.
I still personally like to finish that sometime soon if and when time permits and if my team is still up for it.
