I was writing an email in Gmail this morning when I noticed this text: Draft autosaved at 9:11 am This is a great new feature, part of a package of new features they released today. I’ve lost more than one email to a browser crash (yes, Firefox). Good to see another desktop mail client feature […]
So the rumour is that this announcement will have something to do with Google and Sun working together on an office suite. Personally, I don’t think so. I could see that happening someday, but at this point I think that’s just too big a target to take on. Office is big, and there’s nothing really […]

Looking through the Google Talk executable, I found a URL: http://www.globalipsound.com/ Visiting their site, it looks like they’re a provider of VoIP technology. An […]
Google just went live with Google Talk. It’s yet another IM service, but the great thing about it is it’s based on XMPP, the Jabber protocol. This is a general purpose real time communications protocol – basically streaming XML. You can hook a SAX parser up to it and treat parsed node callbacks as events. […]
I found a feature I really like in Google Desktop 2.0. I’m buying a new house, and I’ve been working on a list of features I want to upgrade. I thought I’d received pricing on a particular feature, but I couldn’t find it, so I searched my desktop for it using GDS 2.0. It showed […]
