It’s a lovely idea. Take old classic books and give them new titles.

What is even better is that some of the comments are better than the original post. I vote for…
Old: Richard III
New: R3: Judgment Day
Since FolderShare joined the Windows Live family it’s been a downhill slope.
First there were outages, then the site redesign (a massive downgrade) and now this…
Windows Live Sync and Mac OS X Leopard
It’s almost as if they don’t want it to work.
This should appear on Twitter.
Well it was supposed to be a quite evening in!
Then I saw this.
The upgrade is done and I’ve even added a couple of extra plugins.
I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating.
Microsoft has one major issue; and only one. The speed that they can get code and functionality out of the door. There seems to be some serious process issues when competitors are realeasing functions at twice the speed of the market leader.
“Microsoft is apparently going to counter the Android and iPhone offensives on the mobile market with a new strategy: confusion. The company will allegedly continue to sell its increasingly less relevant Windows Mobile 6.5 for a lower price when it launches version 7 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The fourth quarter of 2010? I mean, does Redmond expect Google and Apple to go on a yearlong vacation? No wonder Microsoft is becoming irrelevant on the mobile platform. As I have pointed out in the past,Android is going to kill Windows Mobile.”
The debate in the US has noticed that the rest of the world is watching (mainly in amazement!)

Go 7 minutes in!
And I thought that it was just me.
Big Contrarian ? Never new enough.
I’ve never been a great fiction reader but in the last 3/4 years my reading offline has dropped to almost zero. Funny thing is that I miss it I just seem incapable of actually getting that calm. Glad to hear that it’s just not me!!!
This is an interesting comment…
“they’re pre-announcing this so far in advance to discourage current Entourage users from switching to the new Exchange-compatible versions of Apple Mail and iCal in Snow Leopard.”
If this is the plan then they’re on the route to failure. Moving desktop mail client has a minimal cost. You just plug in the new client and start syncronizing the mail server. It’s a two minute job.
What seems to be happening here is that Outlook is becoming a server only tool. The poor desktop client (is there anything slower?) is killing the fanchise.
Another reason not to fly with them…
“The surge seems to have caught Ryanair, surely Britons’ least-favourite budget airline, unaware. On August 1st only 11 check-in desks were open at Stansted airport to handle 255 flights. As a result more than 700 passengers missed their planes. In the confusion armed police had to protect the staff of Ryanair (or “Riot-air”, as one passenger put it) and others from irate travellers.”
