Gmail Becomes Somewhat Native to the iPhone
- Posted by Harry on March 25th, 2009 filed in General Information, Information, News
Somewhat means you get the functionality of the native mail service/app that comes with the iPhone allowing you to archive messages easy with the swipe of a finger. Google has worked hard to improve their web app to allow such functions and with that comes their improved Gmail service. It isn’t global though, for the app has been made available for English users for the time being but they would surely be in for a short wait. Read the rest of this entry »
Cleaning your virtual closet

Web applications per se, are designed to make the internet browsing experience a smoother and more efficient one. Thousands of applications are available on the web, each with some sort of function designed to enhance your browsing.
Organize you apps for peace of mind.
However, internet and web applications can become counter productive when you start having too much of them, and soon, you yourself will get confused as to which is which and which does what.
One of the things that you should do is compile a list of the web applications you have. Delete any applications with duplicate functions and save the most efficient one. Also try to determine which of these you really use for your browsing. If there’s an app you use rarely, then you might be able to do without it.
Google’s WebApps Safe and Secure?
- Posted by Harry on January 12th, 2009 filed in General Information, Industry Leaders, Innovations, News
Many people have been questioning the security and safety of information uploaded into the Google Servers or into the cloud. Cloud computing has long been in the works with some people working and using it without even knowing about it. Why, the major promoters are using it to test the technology and to see if they can address most of the issues before they go mainstream, taking the rest of the internet with it. The question is whether these data centers that would be making up the new cloud network would be safe from what? A nuclear explosion, an earthquake or whatever we may be able to throw at it.

Jjot it down
- Posted by editor on December 29th, 2008 filed in Information, Innovations
It’s almost the new year, and you need to take down a list of New Year’s resolutions online, but you need to spread out ideas or brainstorm with your loved ones, well there’s a note taking app ready for you: jjot:
Jjot is a lightning fast sticky note web application filled with smart features like archiving, search, and sharing. Jjot is very easy to use and understand (which is nice when you’re tackling any new web application), but what really stands out about Jjot is its speed. Everything you do on Jjot is satisfyingly snappy, which is so refreshing in an age of bloated web apps. Granted, Jjot’s speed might not be enough to make it stand out in the already overcrowded online note-taking and todo applications, but it’s on my good list.

You Tube, the most popular online video sharing service is finally pushing through with its launching of an optional High Definition or HD video for its site. The move came after a quite lengthy time of experimentation. It recently said that it is going to expand and upgrade its video player online to a HD widescreen which has a 16:9 aspect ratio. The new page is wider with 960 pixels. This comes as a very big improvement over its original video standard 4:3 aspect ratio. This was done to keep up with the 16:9 contents being shared. Now the old 4:3 videos are not quite blending in with the new player. A lot of its users are complaining about the black bars that are on the player side. A lot of them are annoyed with it. And rumors has it, that Google is planning to monetize the little black bars. I do HOPE NOT!

Sleep.fm is a browser based social alarm clock. It does not necessarily put you to sleep but it has a new way to wake you up in the morning, much like the movie flick, Iron Man, in a scene where Tony Stark’s friend for the night is awakened by the weather news spken by his computerized butler, Jarvis. Sleep.fm has something in that nature where you are awakened by a news of the latest local weather conditions, temperature with a computer generated voice and variety of soft bell sounds. You can activate the service just by typing in your local zip code and what time you want it to engage, as long as the browser tab is up and connected. In the near future it is hoping to offer a call back service that lets you assign a specific alarm as a phone call. It will be quite useful when you want to get out of an awkward blind date.
