Sometimes I’m a bit trigger happy and prematurely hit mark all as read and then I miss out on a few things I actually wanted to read. In Gmail, there is a undo for just about anything. So where is it in Google Reader? No where to be found.
So let’s say you’re in Google Reader [...]
This morning I was excited to see a new layout on the Google Chrome start page.
The new look is cleaner than the previous iteration. You now get to see eight thumbnails instead of nine. Each thumbnail has a slight gray border and hovered over, it darkens and eventually, about 1.5 seconds in to hovering, a [...]
I was watching JavaScript: The Good Parts, by Doug Crockford. I noticed immediately that something was different though. There were new buttons. I was excited. What could they do?
I’ve always been angry that Youtube never had a dim-the-background feature. Sometimes using full screen just can’t work, like when I want to use two monitors or when I want [...]
I just wanted to share that I got my Gmail-stickers a couple of days ago.
Three stickers came in the envelope that I sent to Google in another envelope. One of the stickers is a shiny-foil Gmail logo, the other is an old desktop computer with a name-tag like thing under it that says this belongs [...]
If you use iGoogle a lot, you might have noticed that the page loads slowly because of the Google Talk embedded in the sidebar. Unlike other iGoogle Gadgets that you can easily manage either by settings or simply deletion, you can’t mess with the Google Talk tab on the sidebar. Or can you?
According to Google [...]
Google recently decided to do something alarming to many Google fans; they changed their favicon. Sound the alarms!
I generally wouldn’t blog about a post on another blog, but I just had to this time. Googleblog was explaining their new favicon. Do you remember the good old days when the Google Favicon was reconizable from thousands [...]
My parents always want to me too look up something for them, even though they know it’s effortless, they refuse to pick up the laptop and type in whatever and find out. A joke on that kind of behavior (I can’t stand it) is Let Me Google That For You.

Google.org, the other side of the Internet giant, Google.com, has started a new system for detecting the flu with better accuracy and sooner than possible using their search engine.
As google clearly knows everything you type into it’s search engine, it is able to figure out if you type flu-like symptoms during flu season months and [...]
Google has taken the next step in Google communications. They made Google Chat and now they introduce Google Video Chat.
You have to download a little google-extension/plugin, but you had to do that for Google’s other hyped-one-day-project-gone-the-next, Lively. I just hate restarting my browser.
Google is pretty clever to include into Gmail. They made chat for that [...]
I run a local server in my house called basement since it’s in the basement and has no monitor, keyboard or mouse. My server runs a custom installation of apache, php and mysql and it has a few virtual hosts setup to boot via different ports.
I’ve been using Chrome on the two laptops in the house [...]
