Apparently the Mozilla email client, Thunderbird, has had another spurt of development and hit version 1.5, RC2 status. This happened in November so I’ve been very slow in watching it and there’ll probably be a new one along any time now…

I’m a fan of Thunderbird - it’s portable, fairly feature packed and most importantly of all it renders HTML mails without running any embedded scripts, unlike outlook that simply embeds IE with all the security holes that go with it. It also displays HTML without the graphics by default, saving you mail download time (and potential embarresment!)

1.5 features various tweaks to stability, security and the UI but the big news for many people is that you can now use “forward” as an action on the email rules list - a long awaited feaure.

If you’re not using it now, it’s well worth a look-see. Download from mozilla.org

Most of today’s computing processors we use are Intel processors. Aimed at marketing high-end processors for PC enthusiasts, the prices of these high-end Intel Extreme Edition (EE) processors are quite unreasonable for most applications we use today. As such, most end users turn towards AMD’s high-end Athlon 64 x2 as alternative choice.

Back in the tug-of-war, Intel officially released the Pentium Extreme Edition (EE) 955 chip (Intel Presler) to replace the previous version of Pentium Extreme Edition (EE) 840. The former is a dual-core CPU design with a clock speed of 3.46GHz, compared to the latter’s 3.2GHz clock speed.
