Pretty good week for Google

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Does anyone else remember seeing so many little, yet very useful, announcements being made by one company the way Google made them in the last half of this week?

We got new Gmail features, vacation auto responder and Contact Groups, they put out a Blogger comments Firefox extension along with a Safe Browsing extension, and then topped it all off with a Mobile Gmail rollout.

Can’t say that I accomplished that much this week, can you? 🙂

XP activation issues?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

A reader asked me about a Sony laptop where every time he starts it up, it comes up and says it needs to be activated.

Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks Office 11 only being available to Windows 2000 and XP isn’t a big deal. Kevin has an interesting post about how the IT department is always an after thought. I’m sure we could all tell some stories about that! Pocket PC Thoughts has a bunch of stuff…

It appears that Angela’s blog is back up. I assume that means everything’s been moved and is working at the new location, but I could very easily be wrong about that. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized

Weekend

By the way, the outage was not planned, someone screwed up when they were doing some router upgrades. I can’t complain because the email server definitely does seem much faster today than it had been! Besides, I don’t have the time, nor the bandwidth, to tell you about all the times I went to “upgrade”…

Stupid MySpace Security

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

So here’s a good one. Angela logged in to her MySpace account to send a message to a friend of hers. When she did, it gave her an error about the spam filter, then she was prompted to change her password because her account had been phished, which it hadn’t. Stay with me on this…
