One gotcha - you need to enable it in the settings of your iPhone. Go to Settings, Mail Contacts Calendars, and select the Google Sync profile to enable Mail. Previously mail could only be synced using a separate, non-push enabled profile. Very nice :)

It a great way to get a bunch of screenshot of different operating systems and browser combinations. We have a large test team, but this is a nice, quick way to test on far more platforms than we have access too :) ]]>http://www.karlkopp.com/blog/2009/8/14/useful-site-httpbrowsershotsorgTwitter – I don’t need 140 characters to say what I think…http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlKopp/~3/akN3vPRjCzU/twitter-–-i-don’t-need-140-characters-to-say-what-i-think…7/08/2009 2:01 PMhttp://www.karlkopp.com/blog/2009/8/7/twitter-–-i-don’t-need-140-characters-to-say-what-i-think…Nuff Ced!

I'm a huge fan of Win7, and have been since the beta. Very happy with the RC, so will be interesting to see what polish this RTM release adds.

Connection was easy on my Windows 7 MacBook Pro, and the speed has been great! No need for a separate 3G dongle, one less thing I need to carry :)

Only downside is the bad coffee - Hudsons just can't make a decent cup.

In part because I am very careful what I run on my machine, but also in part because I was keen to try the new Microsoft Security Essentials Beta that was released today. So I filled in the Connect survey, downloaded an install MSE this morning. A few of my first impressions:

  • The installation was very quick, and the whole application was only a 4.5mb download, was smaller than some other anti-virus applications I've used before.
  • A nice touch (that is very unusual in today's Interweb) is that it didn't ask to install any junk - didn't want to add bookmarks in my browser, change my default browser or search provider, install extra toolbars - it just installed the anti-virus application. Nice work!
  • On a clean install of Windows 7 with the full Office 2007 suite, Visual Studio 2010, and some other apps, a Quick Scan took 7:12 minutes - not bad!
  • All the default settings looked reasonable to me so I would be happy to recommend it to Mother Kopp for example and know it won't suck large amounts of CPU or RAM.

All in all, first 20 minutes have been a positive exercise, and its nice to get one Important Message cleared from my Action Centre. Now to clear up some space on my USB drive for a full backup :)
