The Livemarks addon provide the same functionality as the built in functionality. Just switched to it and have the same experience (I used Live Bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar).

I got hit by the Namecheap problem as well so it definitely affected multiple customers.

Fitbit throws fit, emits writ for outfit's non-hit, rather sh*t, 'Fitbit' kit

That's hilarious

Given I tried to take my (brand new) fitbit back after the strap broke and was told that fitbit no longer consider the strap as a warrantable item as the volume of issues they had precluded it as an option.

So "high quality"? Meh.

I'll never buy a fitbit again, that's for sure.

Umart still cheaper?

I just checked hard drive pricing and for $185 Umart will sell you a 4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 drive compared to $218 from Newegg.

Selecting an ERP supplier - the pitfalls and practicalities

ERP Partner selection

We are a small company and (prior to my time) we purchased Microsoft's Dynamics AX. The project was a complete disaster, the Microsoft Gold certified partner completely failed to understand our business and requirements and provided a half arsed implementation to get the product in and then completely failed to get the rest in. A big part of the issue was the mismatch between what we needed and what they expected from a client (us not being a large enterprise). But a lot of it was their complete arrogance as well.

In the end we took the decision to throw out Dynamics and replace it with an Opensource system (Openbravo) which is working much better as the partner we selected for implementation is much more suited to a company of our size.

Cheers,

David
