Mail is a joke of an app on Windows. But unlike on iOS, the Windows Mail application can be replaced. If you were frustrated with the default Mail app, did you seek a replacement? Do you have a better example of an epidemic WP UI fail? Anyo

Things I like about Easel: - Zipfile export contains everything you need to demo your site with a web server - The UI. It's simple and elegant [1] in its most minimal implementation, but grows in complexity in the right ways when you need i

I reverted to using Panasonic Toughbooks exclusively after buying, and subsequently returning a Lenovo W520 at $200 out of pocket, and I'm prepared to defend the following Toughbook rave in a verbal deathmatch if need be. Every other laptop

So there's plight. Is Altsie supposed to fix a perceived inbalance between Hollywood and low budget film makers then? This just doesn't sound like a painful enough problem for consumers, and it doesn't sound like one many people share.
