Lenovo Password Manager problems with Outlook and Word 2010

One of my first hurdles with the Lenovo ThinkPad W510 was the most annoying bug that caused the mouse clicks to stop working within the text area on both Word and Outlook 2010. Let me explain. You are on Outlook, which is using Word as the email editor, and open a new mail message.

iOS 4.2.1 Slows Down 3GS

After installing iOS 4.2.1 on my iPhone 3GS I noticed some operations would take a little bit more than they used to, so I decided to try a few different things. I concluded that my iPhone is now slower then before the update, and I really haven't seen much benefit. My wife's iPad, on the other hand, has received a new lease of life, with multitasking and folder creation finally coming to it. As far as printing goes, it hasn't been able to find my network printer, so I'll keep using a third party app which has served me well in the past and apparently continues to be indispensable.

All in all, iOS 4.2.1 is great news for the iPad, but not so great for the iPhone 3GS. I am hoping the iPhone 4 won't suffer from the same slowness!
