Whilst trying to find more information about Thunderbird 3.3 Miramar, I came across the Mozilla Labs blog and an experimental add-on unofficially called Account Provisioner. A little background, it seems about 2/3 of the people who download Thunderbird are expecting to get an email address with it. Interesting, so the majority of people assume Thunderbird is an email client and provider.

Trying this out now. If nothing else I will be glad to get rid of the multiple prompts. ” Firefox only: If you’re not using Firefox’s Master Password to lock down your saved passwords, that’s a mistake.

With the great success I have had converting the Firefox Extension Guru’s Sites over to WordPress I’ve opted to redo the Email Mafia sites as well. As you can see, the blog has already been redone and cleaned up. Just waiting on the new database to setup so I can redo the main Email Mafia site.

I also was able to have all traffic which went to the old ffextensionguru.wordpress.com URL automagically redirected to the new blog (for $12 a year). This is also good for SEO as well as the tons of links I have out on forums….

Came across the story ‘AP: Microsoft’s answer to the iPad is still in pieces‘, earlier this morning via The Microsoft Blog. Not very good PR for Microsoft: The Associated Press writes: “Instead of unveiling an elegant response to the iPad, Microsoft came to the tech industry’s premier gadget show with a collection of exposed computer guts. … Microsoft’s missing tablet served as a reminder that the world’s largest software maker remains years from a serious entry into this new category of devices. It also raised more doubts about whether Microsoft Corp. will ever be able to grab a meaningful piece…
