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.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like celebrities have faded away during the course of this election. I’m not saying this is a bad thing or a good one. I’m just saying that I’ve noticed this. They haven’t endorsed anyone nor said anything. Well now they’ve voiced something. Here is the Yes WE CAN video clip. Send this to your friends.

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?

The Apple keynotes was this week as most of you may know, and I found it very boring because there was nothing too exciting. Sure the Mac Air (the new skinny mac that can easily fit into a yellow envelope) is one of a kind, but for $1700? There’s no way I would want to buy something like this, even if it had a CD drive. And the movie rentals? Sure they are cool, but I don’t want to be rushed too much to watch a movie. We should be able to set the time and pay for that; instead, a petty 24 hours from pressing play. I mean, what if I fell asleep in the middle of the movie? Now what happened to Austin Powers when he was being attacked by that fat guy?

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.

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.

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.
