The new Leopard GUI versus the old Tiger GUI in regards to titlebars. (Tiger on the top, Leopard on the bottom) I felt like the corners Leopard had a smaller radius on them than Tiger did, so I checked, and they do.
Small detail, doesn’t really matter. I feel like a pretty big geek for noticing without seeing them side-by-side.
After years of hacking Tivos to add bigger hard drives, consumers have an official option to get more recording time. Western Digital has released their “My DVR Expander” hard drive for $200. It adds 500gigs to your Series3 Tivo, which equates to about 65 hours of HD and 600 hours of standard definition recording.

As you may know, Google is adding IMAP access to Gmail. A day and a half later my Gmail account is still IMAP-less. They said it would be happening to all accounts over the next couple of days, so I’m not worried.
What’s interesting to me, though, is that it seems like everyone who didn’t get it immediately still hasn’t gotten it. I’m constantly reading (and posting…) messages on Twitter about accounts getting no IMAP love, still. Even larger sites like Download Squad and TUAW seem to be out in the cold here. I imagine that Google would have to activate the features on a server-by-server basis… but it almost looks like Gmail operates on only 2 servers.
Question to you: If you didn’t get IMAP immediately the other night, have you gotten it since?

It looks like this game should be a lot of fun! It will hit the US in January.

Wayne Sutton brought this to my attention on his blog with a screen shot of IMAP options in Gmail. Does this mean I can finally quit deleting messages twice, once on my phone and once in Gmail? Does this mean my Mail.app on my iPhone will actually tell me the true number of messages in my inbox? I think so!
Here’s the iPhone/Touch specific setup instructions for the new IMAP Gmail. It’s pretty ironic that now, to set up Gmail on an iPhone, you select other instead of Gmail in the setup wizard.
This has great implications for users of all mail clients, desktop (Thunderbird, Mail.app) and mobile (Mobile Outlook) alike. I don’t mean to be so iPhone focused, but it’s where IMAP Gmail is going to have the most impact for me personally.
It’s not showing up in my options yet, but hopefully it won’t be too long before it does.
