    This doesn't work (at least this picture isn't what you think it is). You can't change the size of the text you send to someone in iChat, you only change the way your text is displayed on your screen. #imagecachecontest

    Jason, I must say, using Dee-Dee as an avatar is a bold, brave decision, and this is from someone who is nearly nude in their avatar. #imagecachecontest

    I saw a bunch of Jewish holiday apps get approved this week and last -- problem is, the specific holidays had already passed. Maybe they'll come in useful next year.

    It's really cruel how Apple does this to developers who spend hours upon hours building an application, only to find out that the applications serve no purpose anymore.

    That sucks. Then again, Trillian's dev team for the PC app was never overly fast. And BeeJive 3.0 is just about the best app on the iPhone anyway.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Agreed. Beejive is the ultimate win. I don't think anything will be able to compete with that app (I've tried all the others currently available, including the piece of junk IM+).

    Yay for Beejive! Too bad for Trillian!

    With phones like the iPhone, email is basically instant. So a lot of the arguments for IM and such are gone.

    I read the article earlier today. Summary: "With superfast twitter and facebook and instant messages, who needs pokey-slow attachment-oriented email?" The answer is, of course, "Old people in Korea".
    I would never count on any opinion or prognostication by the WSJ to have much value.
    SMTP will live forever. Newsgroups were supposedly dead twenty years ago, too. The kicker for me was the sendup of sharepoint as a miraculous way for companies to decrease email traffic. Yeah, right.
    I'm not sure how old Jessica is, but my guess is that she has never known a world without email. Jessica, dear, I can't wait to see you write the same article in 20 years, when email is still alive and well.
    Oh, and by the way, X is still very much alive. I'm running an XServer and a bunch of XTerms right now. Love 'em.

    ...In other news, this same columnist also was quoted later that day. "Franks and Beans!"

    Or less subtlely put, that person's retarded, in the freeflowing 1980's sense of the term.

    Unless there's a new medium that is controllable by each originating organization, e-mail will not be replaced on an intra- or intercorporate level. Records are needed, responsibility of said records is needed, and if we assume that a cloud-like entity will absorb this traffic anytime in the short term, it would appear that Orwell had a coup that I missed out on.

    First of all, if it's registration for websites and I may get spam in return, there's a decent chance that I'll randomly register with the email addy of a visitor to my site who has recently pissed me off.

    Second, what's wrong with fax machines? Most of my stuff is PDF. But if I'm circulating a document that requires signatures from a variety of companies or firms, odds are, I'll fax it around. Everyone has it; everyone can read it.
