Internet Explorer has the ability for some time now to save web pages as a bundled file - MHT format - rather than as multiple separate files. I was missing the same thing on Firefox - to save the pages or fcourse, but also to open my MHT files. It is possible now through the […]
I was looking at the Nokia 6682 for some time, but the N70 is even better: more memory, slicker design and better camera. Using it for few days now, and it is a fantastic handset. Only hic in the process: I still haven’t figure how to transfer all my numbers from my old Nokia […]

Great iPod shuffle !
It’s out. Few changes from my perspective except maybe new text chat with up to 50 (sic) users, and the updated look&feel (looks great!).
