Upon logging into Google Reader tonight, I immediately noticed that the team had added stylized buttons to some of the command links. Nothing major, but nice to see the Google Reader team at least giving some attention to UI. I’ve recorded a screen cast, which can be seen here or by clicking on [...]
Looks like someone has finally been able to get Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook to play nice with each other, and by play nice I mean two way syncing. Spanning Sync has been doing this for iCal on the Mac, albeit in beta, for a while now. It’s just a shame that somebody [...]
Perusing through the Skype Garage this morning, I noticed that a new beta of Skype 3.1 has been released today. Hot on the heels of Skype Find, Skype Prime is the beginning of the long overdue Skype-eBay-PayPal integrations so many have been waiting for since eBay purchased the two companies. Skype Prime allows [...]
Digg – It’s kind of official: Apple iPhone & JAJAH VoIP
Looks like someone is trying to ride the coattails of the iPhone’s popularity. Even though this was announced on January 9th on the company’s blog, there seems to be a bit of buzz today about JAJAH announcing official support for the iPhone. They [...]
By now we’ve all heard about Apple and Cisco agreeing to “share” the iPhone trademark. I’m not at all surprised that a deal was reached, even if it did take much longer than expected. What I’m wondering is this: has there ever been another case of a company (Cisco) agreeing to let another [...]
The webosphere was abuzz today, with the news of WalMart releasing a video download service. According to the write up over at TechCrunch, it looks like someone forgot to test the CSS on Firefox. Simply amazing! Then again, does it really matter anyway? Didn’t they learn their lesson with the music [...]
I have been happily using Google Reader as my primary feed reader since its rebirth last year. I’ve been impressed with the responsiveness of the app, and while it hasn’t always performed like a desktop counterpart, it’s been pretty good. During the last several days, however, Reader has been cutting through my feeds [...]
With the recent purchase of our first home, my wife and I decided that it was time to take the next big step in telephony and get a home phone. For the first 3+ years of our marriage, we have used only cell phones and the Skype VoIP application to audibly communicate with others [...]
Unfortunately, my HP notebook’s life is drawing to an end. Fortunately, it picked a great time to give up the ghost as the year is winding down and things aren’t so hectic at the office. I started evaluating new machines several days ago and had narrowed my decision down to another HP or [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about social networks recently. I can’t say why, other than that it is motivated by business purposes. At any rate, I was engaged in a conversation with a co-worker the other day, in which LinkedIn came up. The conversation could be paraphrased thusly:
Me: “You on LinkedIn?”Him: “Yeah, [...]
