There has been a lot of talk lately about tea parties. Why after 8 years of living with Bush in office anyone would suddenly want to protest the government now is beyond me. Some call it a simple ruse and for the most part I agree. It’s simply political Astroturf. Sure a few people are genuinely

This might seem like an easy enough question with a simple enough answer. You would probably say yes almost immediately, after all they said they were marketing your home so you probably just assume that they are. In fact they are marketing your home when they put the sign in the yard. They are

I just read an interesting article about RSS feeds. If you don’t know what they are then you are too late to the party because they are dying a quick death thanks to Twitter and other similar applications. It used to be something that you desperately wanted people to subscribe to, after all if t

I think this application might be something that a lot of people have been looking for. For instance Google Docs is a great service but on its own it’s not that great. It does what it does well but it’s not really a replacement for Word or other Office applications…yet. But a new app promises to

Google has rolled out some new features for Gmail recently. I'm not sure if you have to be using their “labs” application in order to see these new features or if it’s a Gmail wide release. Sometimes they sort of beta test things for a while or a long while before they release it fully to the pu

There has been a lot of fuss about Google scanning every text known to mankind and trying to get them indexed. Good, bad or just plain ugly it doesn’t seem like there is going to be anything stopping Google from achieving its goals of indexing the world. (Yes I mean that literally) In the meanti
