It seems that Ask.com has had some upgrades. Firstly, they’ve updated their design, making it looks more 3d and shiny. Besides the design, though, they’ve also been updating their results pages to be more like Google’s new “Universal Search”, where you get pictures, videos, maps, etc mixed in with web results.
No matter what they do, [...]
Google just bought Feedburner! Is that surprising? It’s not to me (well, not too much anyway). Think of it this way:
 Feedburner = RSS “re-hosting”, feed stats, and feed ads
 Google = Web site stats, website ads
So, you combine the two.
I believe the feed stats will eventually be integrated with Google Analytics, the ads with [...]
Renamed “Windows Live Hotmail”, Microsoft’s email service has been revamped. Of course, the changes have been in the works for a long time. I remember when the beta came out: Not long after GMail launched. Using AJAX and DHTML, Hotmail is once again a viable email option. I still won’t use it, though. My main [...]
Apple, it seems, may be the first computer company to readily offer laptops with LED-backlit displays. While they haven’t confirmed it yet (do they ever confirm anything?), there is a good chance.
What’s so great about that? LEDs last a heck of a lot longer than the fluorescent bulbs currently behind the screens. If implemented right, [...]
YES! The Microsoft Empire isn’t about to double in size! Yahoo has turned down Microsoft’s offer for a $50 billion merger. Yahoo claims that competing is “more productive” than merging. It looks like The Tyrant’s outreach from the offline world to the web has been postponed. Take that, Microsoft.
Yahoo has been trying to conquer the web lately (again). After lying dormant for awhile, the great beast that is Yahoo has resumed it’s evil rampage. They’ve acquired Flickr, Del.icio.us, and seem to be planning to get into the OpenID business. With the launch of Yahoo Brand Universe, they began trying to take on the many fan sites on the web. They’re claims? They claim that there are too many small sites out there run by individuals. I prefer those sites to Yahoo by far.
According to Mozilla, we’ll be seeing Firefox 3 sometime in the last quarter of the year. Take that, Microsoft! It’s amusing that a group of volunteers can build an amazing browser (the best on the planet ) that quickly, while a team of paid engineers working for the World’s Biggest Software Company takes five [...]
One keyboard to rule them all. The Optimus Maximus keyboard is probably the ultimate keyboard. It’s price tag will be pretty ultimate as well… $1536. I know what your thinking. It’s probably something like “What?! Why the heck would I pay $1536 for a keyboard?” It’s not just any keyboard. Every one of those keys [...]
Hey, I saw a useful thing on Digg today (unbelievable, I know)! CSS Slicing Guide, a website that teaches how to use Photoshop (or other programs) to slice a layout into working CSS code instead of tables.
As you may have noticed, there are tons of sites that still use tables to line up images into [...]
In the future, will we still have desktops and laptops? What if we all had something different, something better(?). What if we all carried around, in our pockets, a device about the size of an iPod or Blackberry. What if this device was a whole computer? You’d be able to access the web at any [...]
