Slight bug when moving emails with GMail’s IMAP

It appears there’s a bug, or maybe just a slight glitch, in Google’s IMAP implementation. Whenever messages are copied from a desktop IMAP client into GMail, the dates on the GMail web interface’s folder listing become out of sorts.

This problem can be solved by importing mail using the POP3 importing feature, but I thought I’d give people a heads-up just in case they’re thinking about migrating their email into GMail.

(Yes, I caved in and moved into a “cloud” environment. I don’t regret it.)

Your Facebook data at work


Thanks for this wonderful marketing information Facebook. I’ll be sure to let the corner stores know to put 3OH!3 albums nearby Skittles.

On a side note: Page data is easily viewable by just about anyone on Facebook. See what can be determined with it? Correlation != Causation, but most people who like 3OH!3 honestly do like Skittles.

FCC to (hopefully) start classing broadband carriers as telcoms

About time. Click here for a read.

Two key paragraphs to notice:

Industry stakeholders were quick to weigh in about the FCC vote. Many have charged that the proceeding is a backdoor way to write net neutrality rules without a congressional mandate. Such rules would prevent broadband providers from favoring certain Internet traffic.

Changing broadband’s regulatory status is a “terrible idea,” Verizon’s top lobbyist, Tom Tauke, said in a statement. “Rather than attempting to make the new world of broadband fit into the regulatory scheme of the old telephone world, the FCC should acknowledge that this is an issue Congress should address.”

These statements definitely made my day. If it’s going to irritate Verizon then I’m sure it’s a step towards proper net neutrality.

Facebook page spamming – Count to 20,000

Honestly..

pyrohawk.com is the domain serving this page up, so if you’re annoyed with this too I’d go grab some info by running a whois query. Domain privacy was not used.

I’m not the only one reporting on this. Hopefully Facebook does sort this out soon, because it has become quite the eyesore. Maybe a “See more” button would be suited for longer “liked” pages?

Google search page change – Ugh!

Why Google, why…

This new layout will confuse me for months. *sigh*
