All software comes with a license of some description. So the Caps Lock Alert needs one as well. Decision time!
There's a huge variation in what they allow and disallow. And some people get very serious about them, as I discovered when I tried to say hello to Mark Shuttleworth at the Ubuntu Phone launch. It never happened as the discussion carried on until he got called away (or rescued depending on your point of view).
This morning, millions of people staring gloomily at cups of tea up and down the UK will have heard Blackberry making a fool of itself on national TV and radio.
The biggest criticism of Windows 8. Sorry, one of the biggest criticisms of Windows 8 has been the disappearance of the Start button. After 17 years and many different shapes, it's gone. And Microsoft's response has been because it's not being used enough.

I've been really encouraged by the response to the Caps Lock program. All the comments and emails have been encouraging, even when they're pointing out problems.

And simple ideas have a tendency to become more complicated.
Keeping track of web bookmarks has always been tricky for me. I might want a link I found at work when I'm at home or vice versa. I don't always stick with the same browser. Difficult I might be but the best solution I've found over the years is Delicious. The site has just had a redesign and is worth a look if you haven't tried it before.
