With its rapidly …

Want On the Google Wave? Too Bad. (For Now Anyway)

Categories:

google-wave

As was the case with Google Chrome in the browser war, Google Wave is coming late to the social networking game.  But if true to form, Google’s tardiness will only make for a grander entrance.  Even so, it will be an impressive feat if their latest project can become a serious competitor to Facebook and Myspace.

data backup

It’s strange to think about, but computers are a matter of everyday life and death. In the past thirty years, our entire world has developed a digital alter-ego that has steadily integrated and assimilated our lifestyles, our culture, and our planet. A worldwide, or even US-wide, computer failure would result in the end of life …

Easter eggs are amusing features or displays in an application, left behind by the developers for users to find. They are sometimes as simple as a funny message, or as elaborate as an entire flight simulator game, such as could be played way back in Excel ’97. Here are some of my favorite recent Easter …

chrome and IE

A friend of mine said to me recently that IE is the worst thing to happen to us since the Great Depression. “Really?” I asked. “Unemployment? Homelessness? Starvation?” “Well, in terms of the computer world, yes.” He answered. Google has apparently heard his cry, and answered with Google Chrome Frame, a new plug-in for IE …
