Privacy Wars.
2006-01-19.
Amid the uproar about the Prez wiretapping everybody’s phones, I thought it would be fun to pass along a couple other privacy issues from today’s news.

A Pause To Scold Blogspot.
2006-08-31.
On the off chance anyone is reading this from a Blogger or Feedburner RSS feed, you might be wondering about the seemingly random order of posts. For example, this post that I wrote first thing Monday morning would have just shown up in the RSS feed today (Thursday). The reason?

Slashdot Advises Future Criminals.
2007-03-15.
This caught my eye: Don’t Google “How To Commit Murder” Before Killing. Slashdot makes it sound like The Powers That Be can call up Google and Microsoft and get a list of your searches to use against you in a court case, but that’s not what happened. The police seized the defendant’s computers and simply looked at their search history, which is usually recorded by default where anyone can look at it.

Google Reader Blows.
2008-01-09.
What is up with Google Reader?? Half the time I click on anything the entire browser freezes up for minutes on end. I can only assume it’s doing some kind of asynchronous request that would probably take a fraction of a second on a non-sucky network connection.

Corporate GMail.
2008-11-21.
I didn’t realize this, but you can actually brand Google apps. The place where my wife works got some new computers, and their new web-mail system is actually GMail with a different logo up in the corner, which they get to through their own domain name. After a little digging, I found that it’s “corporate GMail,” apparently a component of Google Apps.

Google Wave.
2009-10-13.
Google Wave is all the rage among the digerati: If you don’t have a Google Wave invite, you are a nobody in the industry. (The super-elite even have more than one account!) LifeHacker is already running tips and tricks even though nobody can access it. My opinion on Google Wave?

A Peek at Google Web Toolkit.
2009-11-01.
So I’m looking over this Google Web Toolkit thing since someone around here thinks it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. I hate to disappoint but it’s conceptually the same as the much-hated ASP.NET WebForms - it’s a framework to abstract HTML and Javascript away from the programmer. But instead of .NET and Visual Studio, Google’s version is based on Java and Eclipse.

NoSQL is Coming.
2010-04-03.
There has been an explosion of talk about “NoSQL” lately (ie. I’ve seen a few posts about it), and since it is every blogger’s obligation to follow the crowd and re-write what everyone else is saying, I shall now present my thoughts on NoSQL.
