Been playing with this little gem
and so far so good, except for the one time that it sent some sorta update pop-up window flying off the top of my screen (it was actually pretty damned funny when it happened).
Click on the graphic to go to MS’ site and see if you can get your beta copy (free download, they ask that you verify your copy of Windows XP, but it appears to be optional).

Michael Franti’s film “I know I’m Not Alone” is going to close Slamdance this year.
Sweet.
I Know I’m Not Alone (Michael Franti: USA) will close the festival as a work-in-progress. Filmed entirely on location in Israel, Iraq and Palestine during the summer and fall of 2004, the film is a personal diary of a musician’s journey, looking for humanity in the warzones of the region.

I always get nervous when people start saying that. Still, there’s Windoze, Mac and Linux versions of this thing, all on day one. Good luck to ’em, I say. Anyone out there wanna play with it with me?

Maybe I’ll play with the IMAP features at some point in the future, but we’ll see. Pretty smooth though, once everything’s working. My only concern is that by taking the key exchange process out of the loop, and not having any control over the creation of the keys, I don’t know how strong it actually is.

“What do you belive is true even though you cannot prove it?”
Here’s the blurb:
The 2005 Edge Question has generated many eye-opening responses from a “who’s who” of third culture scientists and science-minded thinkers. The 120 contributions comprise a document of 60,000 words.
The New York Times (“Science Times”) and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (“Feuilliton”) have been granted rights to publish excepts in their print and online editions simultaneously with Edge publication. The editors of “Science Times” and “Feuilliton”, respectively, made their own selections. The Italian newspaper, Il Sole 24 Ore will follow on Sunday, January 9th.
