Virex 7.5 = useless

From the readme file for Virex 7.5.1:

Features Excluded From This Release

Scan Contents of Mailboxes -- This Preferences feature of Virex 7.5.0 has been removed from Virex 7.5.1. This product is not meant to be utilized for scanning mails and mailboxes.

So, in other words, if you want antivirus protection to help keep you from passing e-mail viruses on to your pc-using friends, Virex 7.5.1 is completely useless. I guess I'm in the market for a new anti-virus program...

Be A Firemonger

Firemonger:

"After some initial problems, the Firemonger project is now finally ready. The goal of the project is to create CD images which contain Firefox and which users can download, burn and give away to friends and family. The first CD is now available and includes Firefox, Thunderbird and various plugins, extensions and themes."

The Most Delicious Software I've Seen in a Long Time

The Most Delicious Software [Watson's creator has] Seen in a Long Time:

"

Mike Matas (the guy who designed Watson's icons) and Wil Shipley (who founded OmniGroup) have teamed up to create a software company called Delicious Monster and a program called Delicious Library. You may not have thought you needed a program to catalog your books, videos, games, and so forth — but as soon as you try it out, you will need this program.

Delicious Library is exquisite. It won first place (U.S.) in O'Reilly's Mac OS X Innovators Contest, and it deserves it. I watched people's jaws drop when they saw it demonstrated at the conference this week.
