While, this was a slow week, there have been some awesome things. I AM really sorry for not getting them to you right away, so here it is…

• The Google Android was shown at the mobile conference. It wasn’t really much, since it was actually the emulator displayed on a Texas Mobile Instruments mobile phone. The actual OS is delayed. The Sony phone for the Android will be out in 2009.

• Firefox 3 Beta was introduced to the world, and I love it. It doesn’t seem buggy, and the address bar is an actual search engine for any website you’ve gone to. Type in a word that you found on a page, and it will search all pages with that word. It’s awesome!

• Pmog is a private beta site that allows you to play one game all across the net. A browser add-on docked at the bottom of your browser allows you to play missions and drop things such as mines. Then, when other Pmog users go onto the particular site, they get hurt by your mine. Creative, right?

Well, that’s basically it. I’ll try to keep you updated all of the time.

Netvibes is a customizable web page where you can add widgets (such as igoogle but with a better design). The 5 star widgets I think are most important to note are gmail and facebook as well as an rss feed application where you can add you favorite blogs (not gonna say anything). Netvibes recently added a move and drop feature in their NETVIBES GINGER BETA and even more awesome. There are several different codes that you can enter to get into this private version (note: some might be already be used up as they were all set up with a number of invites): FACEBOOK, TCGINGER500, 100GINGERWW, and WIREDGIN100 (you also need an account before you sign up.) If you can’t get that, well I MIGHT be able to help you out…Sign Up Here

If you want, more widgets. You can also make one at Orchestr8. They have a cool clipping thing where you can get a website and clip any part of it. Check it out. It’s a must try. Heres my version of it:

Think Google knows everything? Well now it knows more. Google is opening up terabytes of information on databases for scientists. 120 terabytes of images will be taken from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Archimedes Palimpsest. Google will also be creating a Youtube like social site for these scientists so they can create an experiment and have others comment on their project. Cool, eh?

To kick off the new year, Google has added a few new features:

Happy New Years Everyone!

This year is going to change; more technical advances, and a new president.

We’ve seen a lot this year; good and bad, but now we need to look to the future.

Here’s what I want to get this year: A LaCie 500 GB External Hard Drive, The Android (gPhone), and a LiveScribe Smart Pen. What do you guys want to buy?

Ender’s Game, based on a book, is the movie I most want to see that’s coming out this year. What do you want to see this year?

Well, gotta go celebrate.

(NOTE: Category, Movies, added)

That’s what APC says might happen in one of their recent articles. The Mobile World Congress expo, a convention where all companies in  the phone business show off their new goodies, is presenting again on February 11th in Barcelona. Has Google bought a stand? Yes. Not one, but two. I wonder what the second stand is for…

Hey guys, Sorry about the two week break, but I had some work to get done. Now the holiday brake is coming and I’ll have more time to post. www.spokeo.com gives you a news feed, just like Facebook, that finds your friends on places you didn’t even know they were. It seems a bit creepy, but the news on the feed is accessible to you already, you just didn’t know where they were. For this, we are opening up a new category called “social.”

Gizmodo got a hold of the Android prototype. It doesn’t look too good in a pic, but hey, it’s just a homemade pic. 

Today is a beautiful day. The birds are chirping, the wind is burping, and above all, aim is now on gmail. Of course, it has fewer features than the regular AIM messenger has, but it still talks to your friends, right? Right. I’ve been waiting for this feature for months. it is so useful to me because I have many friends who don’t use Gmail, but AIM. I don’t always find time for AIM in fact, I haven’t been on it for three months. Thanks to this, I will be on AIM while checking my emails.

Thanks Google!

P.S. And no, you can’t have my screenname.

I just received a private beta invite from Docsyncer. It is freakin awesome. You synch your documents with Google Docs and Docsyncer’s servers and then you can go anywhere in the world and not have to worry about printing your documents out, or forgetting them at home. All it takes is a download a small program and Bam! You are worry free. The program works in the background so that whenever you edit a document, the site uploads it. Docsyncer also has a time line, so you can view how your documents looked in the past. The site is working on a way to let you upload a document from another computer and send it to your computer so that the document will be open on your computer when you return home.

Verizon has officially announced that the were thinking of the Android when they decided to open their network to other phones. They will use the Android. I have a feeling, though, that they won’t accept the phones that are specifically designed for the Android created by HTC. If they do, I’ll jump. Editors Note: I mean jumping happily not in another sense.
