Re: 6 Reasons Why You Should Stop Using Desktop Email Clients In Favour Of Web-Based Options

For many people, collecting in Gmail and then syncing with IMAP to the desktop is actually the best plan. If you're using all those desktop extras, that might be your best bet.

Normally in Gmail conversation view the oldest message is at the top while the new ones are at the bottom (so you can read it back like a story). If you're using the new Gmail it's even easier to read.

You're not dumb - conversation threading can take a bit to get used to. :)

All good points. Hacking is one of the biggest worries for webmail users.

Re: The Entertainment Industry Giants Already Have Too Much Power [Opinion]

It's scary, isn't it? ACTA didn't get mentioned because I was trying to recall to mind things people may have already seen reports about. ACTA wasn't getting much attention then - it's getting a bit more attention now.

I know. The industry needs to realise that eBooks shouldn't be anywhere near as expensive as real books, since there's no transportation costs.

Also, users are tying these books to one user's account and you can't hand digital books on to kids according to licensing restrictions. I'll stick to DRM-free paper for now.

Too true. I buy DVDs and CDs rather than put up with DRM protected media.

(Region protection doesn't bother me so much as it is legal to read those DVDs wherever you are. That and I figure if I've paid for it anyone who has a problem with me watching it can bugger off).

Re: The Entertainment Industry Giants Already Have Too Much Power [Opinion]

Well, the entertainment industry use current laws and lobby to create new ones. Politicians are entirely responsible for passing those laws, it's true. But that wasn't the essence of the article. It was simply "Don't you think the entertainment industry has enough power? Do they need more?".
