TAG RESULTS FOR: e-mail

Us hardcore geeks need our own equivalent of the Boy Scouts, just because there is no way we’re spending any more than half-an-hour outdoors without any of our techy needs. We’re better suited for the Swiss Peace Knife than the Swiss Army Knife. How long could you go without your iPhone… or WoW? Seriously, God forbid I go a day without WoW. This Geeky E-Mail Merit Badge apparently awards you for cleaning out your e-mail inbox. And trust me, when you’ve got... Continue reading

We will not give up our fight. Mustaches must get the respect they deserve. Obama… we’re waiting on you to make your move.

Having a father who’s the chairman of Tennessee’s House Government Operations Committee won’t help you much when you’ve wronged a vice presidential candidate. David Kernell of Knoxville, Tennessee pleaded not guilty in a federal court on Wednesday.

Ars Technica has gotten a hold of an internal e-mail sent out to Apple employees yesterday. It’s from Steve Jobs and guess what? He’s not very happy about MobileMe. Not at all.

A simple python script runs on his computer, periodically screen-scraping his Gmail inbox looking for new mail. It then outputs a message to the serial port, indicating the mailbox status.
