Gmail/Gcal and Google Reader, my most used webapps within Google Apps. Although if you’re a dedicated geek or merely wish to exhibit more control over your email experience, you’d be well accustomed with Google Apps For Your Domain [GAFYD]. Where-by you’d have Google look after your e-mail needs at the very least. Read more »
It is no secret that Google wants to be ‘the’ company of the millennium and beyond, especially with it [Google] courting medicine. Without a doubt that you will within 10 years see Google as the dominant force in ALL advertising, be it your fridge, washing machine, television and the soon to be supposedly unveiled GPhone.
Although what does this mean for the likes of Apple? Who just recently unveiled the much sought after iPhone. Will the company that lives and breathes innovation and the ‘betterment’ of your personal computer experience come under fire from those at Googleplex?
Google’s strategy is great, and I applaud its flawless execution. They design and develop a great search engine, and with the profits buy their way into each and every foreseeable industry - thus not limiting themselves to the cash-cow that is AdWords. With each acquisition they will ‘Googlify’/tweak it to the users. Where to from here?
The Romsturdamus Predictions:

If you fit into the following criteria, this post is for you.
You might want to know how to actually upload directly from Lightroom and into Flickr.
Locate the install directory for Flickr Uploadr, mine resides in
C:\Program Files\Flickr Uploadr
Locate where Lightroom places its export actions.
At the bottom you should notice:
Now paste the Uploadr exe into that directory.
Next time you attempt to Export - you will have the option of choosing Flickr Uploadr [as you can see I already have], and voila!
I just tried out Joost - the P2P Online TV. Must say, am very impressed.
Not only at the variety of channels offered, but also the quality of the stream - mind you, a decent connection is a must.
A friend of mine I did notice that given some more unpopular channels, such as Poker - WPT, there does seem to be some intermittent dropping of video. Although this is a given, since this is only a BETA - and not all users are saturating the pipes yet.
Speaking of pipes. I noticed that having Joost running grabs at least 80-100kb/s on average, which must be the reading ahead that it does.
Unfortunately I was unable to run Joost when having no Internet connectivity. “Obviously” some will exclaim, yet the reason I wanted to try it - is, if I want to pre-buffer say an episode of FifthGear Porche review and watch it on the train on my way home, as I currently do with my Media Centre and it’s recorded programmes. Well no can do. Perhaps it’s something that might come out in the final release (am not holding my breath).
I enjoyed the experience, so should everyone else. If you’re short of an invite, drop me a line.
I understand that WP is not a CMS, although it is no excuse not to easily provide its users with the ability to display the nested pages that it so profusely helps you design.
A simple feature like that - and I need plugins, widgets and to modify EACH theme and template that I want to implement a nested page display on. Quite poor.
