The Fleck browser Add-on/Extension to Firefox/IE

I wrote this review (if they accept it) on mozilla.org's for the Fleck extension here:

Upon viewing the html source, Fleck uses javascripts coming from Plexo - a company that harvests email addresses, birthdays, etc. to supposedly help you keep your email address book up-to-date. I am very suspicous of Plexo. Now I am suspicious of Fleck. I made two annotations on a testsite that I'm working on and those annotation were made public. I tried to changing them to private but it was too late. I repeatedly tried to deleted those notes but actions were ignored - even though I was the author of the note. These annotations seem to be forever persistent and no way to clean them up. I even became a register user to try and delete or modify the notes - not working. There doesn't appear to be a way to filter the annotations by a specific set of co-worker submitters - thereby weeding out the public. Even though Fleck is still in beta and they have a cheap $2.99/mo fee for 'unspecified' extra features, I just can't get past the association with what I consider a data mining company - Plexo.

Hopefully someone will make an annotation tool that will allow you to store your own info on a private server via webdav or something. Keep dreaming!

HP Officejet 6310 - Hey HP!, Vista's hurting you!

HP's tech support told me that Vista Business version was causing the
problem. Vista Home or Ultimate would work fine, they said. "Really!?,
I said."

The issue at hand is that the printer will loose communication: "HP
Solution Center cannot detect my HP printer ...". This happens when
Vista either wakes up from sleep mode or Vista somehow locks down a
long-standing TCP applications that sees no activity. Rebooting doesn't
help - odd! Only performing a Level3.bat uninstall and reinstall of the
HP drive will indeed make the printer work again. Unfortunately the
problem faithfully returns (usually the next day). Furthermore, the
printer icon sometimes disappears too. I promptly returned the 6310
for a Brother all-in-one and everything works just fine. I just can't
wait on HP waiting for Vista's service pack from Microsoft. Brother
didn't wait - they just made it work! I'm not sure what Brother is
doing right and HP is doing wrong.

There's something extremely disturbing to me when HP has a CCC directory
containing multiple levels of uninstall. Just consider the enormous
size of HP's all-on-one software. I feel sorry for those use need to
run multiple HP all-on-ones on the same computer. Good luck.
