Here’s a quick unboxing video of the Acer Aspire One netbook which dual-boots XP Home and Android OS.
Google has implemented an offline mode for Docs which utilizes SQL and browser plugins and some other nifty techniques. Awesome!
I have been using Yahoo!’s IM service for many years now and it seems over the last three years that their service has gone downhill. The application always does something unexpected. When I started to use a MAC, the one thing I noticed was that in a chat conversation, when a new message came in from the people I was speaking with, the chat log window would scroll to the BEGINNING of the conversation instead of at the end. This makes me have to scroll down to the bottom every time a message comes in and that’s just ANNOYING!
This isn’t a rant about Air India’s service, because that’s already a given that they suck; but I’m trying to track a flight right now which took off one hour late because 15 people apparently didn’t show up on time, and it’s been 2 hours and their site still shows the OLD flight data (i.e. flight supposedly left on time). India is supposed to be really tech savvy—get your airlines up to speed will ya!
I’m sure you’ve read by now that Google complied with the Pentagon’s request to remove several street-view imagery from it’s database.
People are arguing a breech of freedom whilst others are arguing that this is a matter of national security. Google states that the street-view images are taken from public areas, meaning anyone can go to the same spot and take the same picture(s). Do you think Google should have fought back or did they make the right decision?
I’ve been using the iPhone for two days now and I’ve got to say it’s quite an impressive device. The keyboard is one of the many items that I thought I wouldn’t like, but I’m already quite used to it and can type w/o looking (though I’ve yet to do so w/o having many spelling mistakes).
Without going into a lot of details (you can read the plethora of iPhone reviews on the web) I’ll just outline a few observations I have made:
On Tuesday, the EU accepted a proposal to consider internet censorship as a trade barrier. The proposer of the policy, Jules Maaten, feels that this would protect online freedom of speech.
