IT IS OFFICIAL: Orgoo is Vaporware

IT'S TIME TO BRING ORGOO BACK INTO THE NEWS.

Being still in private beta in almost two years, the promising webmail/IM combo Orgoo is now tagged as vaporware. I had to post it because the private beta is too long for the public to launch.
Orgoo was released as private beta in late 2007, but its period is prolonged following some alleged critical and major issues, downtimes, states of being offline, and an alleged, undocumented DDoS attack. Orgoo has not posted any new news on the site since December 2008. As software, Orgoo has never released any updates to it in public. The DDoS attack I described possibly caused a major downtime or a lengthy maintenance that in turn, extends the private beta. These factors forced me to brand Orgoo as vaporware, although it sent an email to me regarding that the public launch is near (I was put on Orgoo's waiting list). It also made Orgoo a possible candidate of the upcoming 2009 Vaporware Awards by Wired News. I suggest that Orgoo will be launched to the public in Q4 2009 or early 2010. This post may force Orgoo to be in public beta if some of the best Internet news sites mention the post and the recent vaporware branding.

Bug 508950 Day: Type into the Full Login Details Momentarily when the LOASPDALI Bug Attacks!

This day, August 7, 2009 (GMT+8) is Bug 508950 Day. This day commemorates the filing of Bug 508950, the so-called "Log out and associated saved password delete after log in", or "LOASPDALI" bug into Mozilla's online bug tracker. Some sites are affected by this bug, such as Facebook, Friendster, and Yahoo!. This bug is performed when someone logs in to a site that has many saved passwords associated with it, and after a few clicks, automatically logs out and all the saved passwords described are deleted unattendedly. The LOASPDALI bug is categorized as major, and it affects Firefox 3.5. I suggest that the bug will be fixed in Firefox 3.5.3, to be released on early September, 2009. I also suggest all users of Firefox 3.5 not to save any passwords and log in by typing the full login details. The "plague" will continue until the bug is fixed.

Update 06:12 PM GMT+8: I edited the upcoming version number of Firefox 3.5 because of an error commited by me.
