fresh from the oven - Google Shared Spaces
http://sharedspaces.googlelabs.com/ a little bit like drop.io, maybe a little bit like kerio workspace, a lot like etherpad..i hope it builds from here. drop.io was like a holy grail for me. until facebook killed it. |
china and wikileaks and comscore..

wonder if it runs ddwrt?
i got myself a rt31p2.. hdmi over lan sounds a wee bit amusing.. http://en.akihabaranews.com/69192/home-entertainment/hdmi-over-ethernet-by-thanko what if we could stream the xbox game over to any browser and play the game there? http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/31/gamestring-adrenalin-turns-your-google-tv-into-a-game-streamer/ ebay is thinking..with some possibly useful new features... http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2010-11-01-ebay01_ST_N.htm updates on oracle vs google.. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/01/oracle_hits_google_with_code_copying_claims/ |
The worst outcome possible..
Drop.io is no more. Facebook has bought them and they're ending the service! This is so horrible I don't know what to say. http://blog.drop.io/2010/10/29/an-important-update-on-the-future-of-drop-io/ Google disappeared from the 2010 internal social software magic quadrant?!? anyways, i'm totally waiting for people to build stuff with etherpad functionality, and for Wave-in-a-box to be released.. http://www.readwriteweb.com/enterprise/2010/10/gartner-magic-quadrant-2010-fo.php |
