Exec:    I’m having problems receiving e-mail.
IT guy: It’s the IMAP you are using. It’s not compatible with the settings that you have in your program.
Exec:    This is unacceptable. I want you to call IMAP and get this resolved immediately!
IT guy: I can’t.
Exec:    Why can’t you do this?
IT guy: Because IMAP is out to lunch with HTTP.

I found this on Google Blog.

Working on the search team over the last few years, I have heard interesting stories of how Google has made a difference to individuals across the world. For instance, Yanick Cusson from Canada wrote to tell us about how he found his father:

Bug 1
Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”. This is something pretty cool and unbelievable. At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn’t answer why this happened!

Try it now and let me know.

Bug 2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1) Open an empty notepad file
2) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
3) Save it as whatever you want.
4) Close it, and re-open it.

Is it just a really weird bug?

Bug 3
This is something pretty cool and neat and unbelievable. At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!

It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…

Open Microsoft Word and type

Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox browser, has released technology that helps websites detect the physical location of computers.

The system will allow users, for instance, to find local restaurants when they travel to a new town.

The Geode project is an experimental add-on ahead of a full blown launch of geolocation technology in version 3.1 of Firefox.

Users will have control over how much location information they give.

It uses technology from a firm called Skyhook which works out a computer’s location from nearby wireless networks.

Its so-called Loki system can determine location within seconds with an accuracy of about 10 to 20 metres.
