Apple kills popular Kickstarter-funded POP charger

A Kickstarter-funded mobile charging solution for smartphones and tablets has been abandoned after Apple refused to license the technology behind its Lightning charging cable.
The POP (or Portable Power) mobile multi-charger raised almost $140,000 through the crowd-sourcing site, which was double what it required to meet the funding goal.
However, the creators Edison Junior have decided to ditch the project and refund all donations after the Cupertino-based company refused to play ball. Apple's decision was motivated by its unwillingness to include the Lightning tech alongside any other charger, including its old 30-pin solution. Naturally, the brains behind the operation is none-too-pleased.

CEO Jamie Siminoff told Venture Beat that the refunds will cost his company $11,000 in Kickstarter charges and credit card fees: "We are p****d. I think they are being a bunch of a**holes, and I think they're hurting they're customers.

Sadly, I don't check my mail in only Thunderbird, but I appreciate that.
Another thing is, this looks like a page scraper/ripper, not an HTTPMail client (which is what Hotmail Popper is, and what OE uses).

You can use the extensions modules in thunderbird to access hotmail.

I access my hotmail.co.uk accounts this way and hotmail.com ones via windows desktop live mail.

All free.

AdMuncher will block ads, flash or otherwise - also has a lot of other "annoyances" that it takes care of (at your option)

- Remove music & sounds
- Remove background images
- prevent changing scroll bar colors, sites bookmarking themselves, reloading themselves, moving or resizing windows, changing the active window, changing the browser status bar, changing bookmark/address icons
- prevents activity when a site is closed (like opening another window automatically)
- prevents "web bugs" from tracking web page visits.
- can force windows to a default size/width
- can force all windows to always have scrollbars
- stops webpages from disabling mouse buttons (like right mouse - to view source)

- removes all popup windows (when site is loaded, closed, at timed intervals, on mouse move)

The user support is fantastic - available via chat or email - daily updates (about 36kb per day)

And the clincher - it works across the board - for all applications. So all browsers, adware programs - even msn messenger - blocks advertising for the lot.
