Microsoft syncs with Palms, not Pocket PCs?

Someone will have to explain the logic behind the fact that Microsoft has software for Mac Office to sync to a palm, but not PocketPC ! [Simon Fell]

It's pretty simple: The Macintosh Business Unit produced it, and they need only concern themselves with increasing their own revenue. Palm synchronization will sell more copies of Office/Mac. Pocket PC synchronization would only sell more Pocket PCs.

Bayesian Mail Filtering -- Not just for SPAM.

ifile is a general mail filtering system that works with a mail client to intelligently filter mail according to the way the user tends to organize mail. ifile uses the machine learning algorithm Naive Bayes to classify e-mail documents.

ifile is different from other mail filtering programs in three major ways:

  1. ifile does not require you to generate a set of rules in order to successfully filter mail
  2. ifile uses the entire content of messages for filtering purposes
  3. ifile learns as you move incorrectly filtered messages to new mailboxes

[via OpenBSD Journal]

If I can figure out how to integrate this with my 10 POP accounts and Ximian Evolution, Outlook and my dozens of rules will be banished from my PC...
