Apple iPhone OS vs. Google Android

De cca 9 luni sunt heavy user de iPhone 3G. Telefonul este luat pe canalul oficial (via Orange), deblocat tot oficial si folosit in Vodafone. Combinatie mai proasta nici ca se putea, in conditiile in care platesc constant undeva intre 50 lei si 150 lei lunar depasirea traficului de mobile Internet (extra fata de cei 50MB care in viziunea Vodafone valoreaza 6 EUR + TVA). De ce sunt atat de prost o sa intrebati. Pai pt ca mi-a fost lene … Continue reading

Google in 2001

Google has made available for a limited time period and in honor of their 10th birthday (until mid November) their oldest search index, back from 2001.

I invite you to do the same “vanity search” in 2001 Google and see if you left any traces online from back then … Continue reading

OpenSocial Foundation – everybody is in!

Yahoo announced today that they will join OpenSocial and that’s not all, they are forming, together with Google and MySpace a new non-profit foundation – the OpenSocial Foundation, following the model of OpenID Foundation. The reason behind this is of course to be fully neutral but still get everybody involved in this project, at full throttle. The funny part is that opensocial.org gets redirected to a page made with Google Sites, a product of Google Aps :) A big surprise … Continue reading

“I am a Google partner” but Google doesn’t give a shit

Famous for it’s search engine spamming (Spamdexing), ClubAfaceri, a Romanian “business” portal is now proud to associate it’s name with Google Inc. They have implemented Google Apps on their website and they are offering access on their domain to the famous Google Mail, Google Calendar, Google Startpage, Google Docs, Google Talk, etc to their SMB clients. This is not an official partnership as anyone can implement Google Apps for over 2 years now – just as I did on webmyc.com. … Continue reading

Google Talk translation bots

Google Talk has a cool new feature – translation bots – you can add them to your contact list and then just chat with them in your native language and they will reply back almost instantly with a pretty close translation (in the language of your chosen bot) of what you wrote. You can see a simple test on the right. The translation is not 100% accurate but hey …it’s pretty good! So, if you want a translation buddy that … Continue reading

BlackBerry 8800, GPS and Google Maps

Since Friday, I am a BlackBerry user. I decided to go this way as Windows Mobile stability was pretty challenging when combining internet, email, messenger and regular phone usage. I am very happy with my BlackBerry 8800 and I have to tell you that this device is amazing – it hasfrig native support for GTalk and Yahoo Messenger, automatic configuration for my gmail and webmyc email accounts (webmyc has Google Aps) and probably soon, support for my corporate email account. … Continue reading
