Safari browser on Windows XP and Vista

The web browser “war” just got more interesting!
Steve Jobs just announced that Apple will release a Windows version of their browser, Safari.
Update: I downloaded it, installed it, and…it really, really stinks. Wow. I can’t believe they announced this like it was a big deal. Browsing the comments of other blogs it appears […]

Google AdSense: What ads are you getting?

So, yesterday I came across this ad on a Twitter page that commented on the TV series Lost:

and now all-encompassingly is serving me these two ads in the sidebar:

This makes me want to google and see if a club of “dumb homosexual veterinarians interested in fecal flotation tests” exists…although I think that doing so would […]

One of the world’s oldest bloggers

Gmail Problems

On the heels of announcing their new “Premium” Google Apps package, Google is suffering through major Gmail issues today.
Perhaps it’s karma saying that web-based apps aren’t ready yet for prime time. Or it’s Google encouraging free Gmail users to upgrade! Who knows…

No Free Internet for You!

Heh.
A man in Alaska has his laptop taken by the police because he was using the local public library’s wireless Internet connection. The connection wasn’t encrypted or otherwise protected. It was being freely broadcast.
They’re considering criminal charges for “theft of service.”
It’s a good thing he didn’t go inside and try to read any books.

It’s Officially War

Google releases a paid version of Gmail, Spreadsheets, etc. for businesses.
Google vs. Microsoft, let the games begin.
Update: The most interesting part of the plan comparison page from Google is that the “Premier” edition offers limited release “Email migration tools”. Awesome. Hopefully this will work its way down the chain so that I […]
