I recently migrated from a Windows machine to a Macbook Pro (OS X
10.4.9). On Windows, used a program called PopTray [1], that sat in my
system tray. It periodically check my email (POP3) for me, and notify me
when I have new messages. It would also allow me to preview each

I have a friend who is addicted to the internet. Is there a way for him to lock

When I try to add my RAZR phone as a bluetooth device for iSync, it
tells me that the phone isn't supported. Well, if a phone thats been
