Link: CNN.com This was unexpected news. Bill Gates has decided to hand over the lion’s share of Microsoft’s reins and concentrate on the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation charity he and his wife built. Good for him. Let’s hope Microsoft continues to make people’s lives easier while Bill and his wife continue to make people’s […]
Songbird isn’t singing to me
In a previous post, I referred to the Songbird Firefox build as "an unfortunate waste of code." This comment prompted Rob Lord–one of the principal Songbird developers–to ask me in the comments of that post why I felt that way towards their product. I guess the wonders of Technorati keep even this obscure little blog […]
My Flock experience – part the First
Day one using Flock, and I must admit, I'm coming away impressed so far. Flock's integration with various forms of social "web 2.0" functionality and awareness makes my Firefox implementation look pitiful. A messy mash of extensions and bookmarks that is nothing but clutter. Flock is clean and personalized to an alarming degree. I'm actually […]
Google moves Picasa from PC to web
Link: Picasa Web Looks like Google has finally started moving from PC-centric thinking–overtaking the user desktop–to web-based thinking–overtaking the internets. I use Picasa, and I love the program for its astounding ability to keep my thousands of photos on my PC organized. It’s easy to find the pictures I want and edit them, reduce red-eye, […]
Will Firefox users flock to Flock?
Link: Flock The new kid on the block, Flock, is supposedly launching their first public beta sometime this afternoon/evening/night (version 0.7 — internally referred to as "Cardinal"). The theory behind the new browser is basically web 2.0. It's social. It's efficient. It's integrated. Bookmarks are stored on del.icio.us and displayed within the browser via a […]
Google’s GBuy hopes to topple PayPal giant
Link: Tech News on ZDNet Looks like Google has an upcoming online payment system called GBuy that could eventually rip control of online payments from eBay's PayPal system (if you didn't already know, eBay purchased PayPal back in 2002 for 1.5 million dollars). "Google's payment system, as a result, holds the potential to monitor which […]
Google CEO calls Googlers to act for Net Neutrality
Link: Google Net Neutrality is a serious issue. It's why we have the link on the right to SaveTheInternet.com. That's why it's great to see Google head honcho Eric Schmidt throw his support on the side of the regular internet user. Granted, Google's support has less to do with internet freedom and more to do […]
Sync your Firefox settings with Google
Link: Official Google Blog I use Firefox at work (probably a bit more than I should) and I hate the fact that when I get on my home computer, I have old bookmarks I haven't updated in months, a different homepage, and several websites that I can automatically log into at work, but have to […]
The future of the “chat room”
Link: Skypecasts A new update to Skype available today (bringing it up to version 2.5) will introduce a new feature called Skypecasts, which will allow for up to 100 simultaneous connections via a hosted user component. A Skypecast directory is available to allow you to search for discussion topics in which you can join in.
Coogle Galendar
Link: Google Calendar Heavens above, I’ve been waiting a long time for this. I’m a self-proclaimed Google-whore, I won’t hide it, but I’ve been holding out for a quality internet-based calendar that I could share with my friends that isn’t a monstrosity to manage. I used the damnable Hotmail calendar for a little while, but […]
