Fold Protein on your Mac, PC and PS3
The following link provides only the PC and MAC version, but if you go to the PlayStation store, you can download the client I believe. It's free and helps finds cures for shit like Leprosy and your mum being a whore* , which means if you don't download and run it, you're probably a cunt.

Holy fuck! Apple's iPhone revealed!
But it looks like something's keeping it held back from release? Are the greedy mobile provider scumbags putting pressure on Apple to not go VOIP?

WARNING: Do not use or update to the latest build of Thunderbird
Because there's a bug in there that deletes ALL the email in your main folder. Not only that, but it also seems to instantly delete some new important emails at random.
I tried their help forum and the FAQs for this worryingly well-acknowledged problem, but none of the solutions work and I've lost a tonne of work, which I only last backed-up 3 weeks ago. I even tried phoning their 'pay a pile of cash and the support group will help you fix it' phoneline and it's fucking shut.
Surely they shouldn't release a new official update without getting rid of hardcore bugs like this? I thought the whole point of software like this was to avoid work/life/stuff-ruining bugs because of having to release to a deadline that keeps shareholders happy?
So yeah, if you've emailed me and I haven't replied, don't take it personally, as the bloody software probably zapped it before I could see it. Try again or send it to my gmail address (if you have it).
