Microsoft cries foul over Google Outlookware

,----[ Quote ]
| If you install Google's new Redmond-battling Outlook plug-in, it 
| automatically disables Microsoft's Windows desktop search service. And 
| Microsoft is peeved.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| "When a Google Apps user installs the sync plugin for Outlook, the plugin 
| modifies a registry key which disables Windows Desktop Search from indexing 
| and providing search functionality for all Outlook data, not just the Outlook 
| data being synchronized from GMail. Because Outlook search relies upon the 
| indexing performed by Windows Desktop Search, Outlook search functions are 
| broken as a result," Microsoft's blog post reads.

Apple Warns Palm Pre Users: We're Going To Break Your iTunes Syncing

,----[ Quote ]
| Apple, however, has responded with a neat little message that never actually 
| mentions Palm, even if it's entirely transparent who it's about, warning 
| people that Apple can easily break syncing when it updates its software. Of 
| course, Apple did it in a way that it can claim wasn't meant nefariously at 
| all. All the company really meant was to make people understand that it has 
| no control over how the Pre syncs with iTunes, and it's possible that an 
| update could break that syncing. Sure. Right. Except most people assume this 
| means Apple intends to break it.

Apple, Microsoft make mediocre moves

,----[ Quote ]
| I sat there shaking my head in disbelief as I realized I had just witnessed
| possibly the most disheartening Apple keynote in recent memory. Three years
| ago, Steve Jobs introduced the adoption of Intel chips in Apple machines, a
| move that would send its market share soaring. A year later he walked up on
| stage and announced the phone that would change the mobile world forever.
