I was reading Joel on Software the other day and he talked about a rumor that one of the reasons that Windows Vista release was extremely inconsistent and unpolished was that the testing was fully automated (or left brain). There was no traditional (whole brain) testing where the tester not only runs the software through […]

Question: Gmail select feature
You know when you select “conversations” in your inbox. I click on, say 4, so that I can “mark as read”. Then I want to un-check those “conversations”, but Gmail doesn’t seem to have a way to un-click them. There’s a “star” and “unstar” option, but not the un-check option.

Why Gmail is truly a charm, best of the best. Reason #1.
I configured all my emails to come to my Gmail account. I have three main emails and not only do I get them all in one place (filtered in their corresponding folders), I set up the account to respond with the email address it was originally sent to. Does this make sense? Hope so. I […]
