Google finally launched its photo software, Picasa, for the Mac yesterday. It offered a nice alternative to Apple’s iPhoto with some features, namely syncing with a good online photo service, Picasa Web Albums. Of course, that was launched one day before the Apple keynote at Macworld. Today, Apple responded with iPhot (Read More)

: even if iPhoto is better, the majority of PC's/laptops is not Apple. Therefore google has a good chance of "winning" this, especially because of the nice web integration features, being able to use local suppliers to print your photo's etcetera. But if i can afford an apple laptop i will use iPhoto ;-)

Mashable!
The last major piece of the puzzle that was missing from Gmail was voice and video chat. Not any more; if you have a webcam and a microphone, you can now video chat with your friends directly from Gmail by installing this plugin. The plugin works in all major browsers (I’ve tried it in the latest version of Firefox) a (Read More)

: I tried it yesterday with a few friends, and I have to say I liked it. More than anything, I like that it's not bogged down with a ton of features I couldn't care less about.

I realize that I may not know enough, but does Windows 7 offer any radically different stuff? I mean I am one of the few people who likes Vista, but how exactly is Windows 7 more than a sort of addon? I always feel that instead of a new OS, Windows 7 is what Vista wanted to be. We were promised a completely redesigned and d (Read More)

: Actually, it is - I use Vista because I basically felt I had to in order to get my mindset ready for my clients' eventual transition to it.Mind you, what I know about Windows 7 is only from other people - but those other people are the likes of Paul Thurrott, who talks about it extensively on the Windows Weekly podcast - and his website at www.winsupersite.com. The reason I like Paul? He makes a living talking about Microsoft stuff, but he's no fanboy. I've heard him rail about the ridiculousness (is that a word?) of some of Microsoft's decisions regarding product, development, marketing, any number of topics. In any event, there is apparently no piece of code in this operating system that hasn't been given a "once-over". This is a much needed code tune-up over previous versions - to the extent that it may have even less in the way of hardware requirements than Vista did. I do like my linuxes (Centos/Red Hat for servers, Ubuntu for desktop mostly) but I can't get the vast majority of my clients to go there - so I need to be familiar with the latest from Redmond, no matter what it is. In this case, I'm actually looking forward to it.

: I listen to Leo Laporte's podcasts available on iTunes and on his TWIT podcast recently he had some people on that actually have the 650G HD loaded with Win7. I wish I had it on me right now, but I believe they said it has an amazing new toolbar and used a lot less resources then Vista, so little infact, that it can be used on a netbook. Not bad.....I use Vista on my HP Pavillion notebook, and it runs GREAT...so I don't feel a need to upgrade when it comes out. But as for XP users waiting for a good reason to move up...they may want to wait.
Nov 13, 2008
: Microsoft like Apple is taking the time to clean up there code and make things efficient. As we move from powerhouse computers on our desktop to smaller portable machines the more efficient and seamless between platforms they can make it the better. Microsoft got burned by touting new features in vista and not delivering so they may be in a under promise, over deliver mode now. I'm excited to hear they are slimming things down again. Vista and Leopard, though great operating systems, seem to require far to many resources and lots of tweaking to get them to an efficeent level of use. Even XP is tweaked by many to eliminate excess resource usage. I would agree though that it's early and Microsoft may come up with something truly inovative for Windows 7.

Web analytics startup GetClicky sure was happy when we linked to them a couple of months ago to show early Google Chrome usage stats.And now they want more.They’ve got a new user-translation tool to make their site available to non-English speakers, modeled on the the Facebook approach. The first I heard of it was a c (Read More)

: Not sure why Sean decided to be that rude in an e-mail. It is a shame that his new "amazing feature" has to be released in such a negative light because he had to be a jerk about it. I would have been interested in looking at the feature if he wasn't so rude in his message. Definitely not the way to get traffic.

Not every single contact you make online is somebody you would want to spend time with in real life. While you might be following thousands of people and making new "friends" on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, FriendFeed and all the other networks, you would likely hesitate before sending them an open invitation to your home.

: I'm sure I've had this happen elsewhere, but I had a meeting just the other night with someone with whom I have interacted on social networks yet never met in person. This was a business meeting and nothing intimate was really revealed, I feel we built from a strong base already created online.
Nov 09, 2008
: Talking to different people is amazing because everybody can talk and discuss to the various of subjects. And, it's not difficult having real friends to any different networking. It depends on how we define the Friend. For me, a friend is anyone with who I wish sharing interesting thoughts but it is not systematically a Lovely one with who I want spending time in life. I have friends from different networking for exchanging different cultures: language, foods, fashion, news, .....I have differents friends for businesses too but I have no intimate with. About intimate, it so great if 2 people sharing really the most same things, most compatibility, most complementarity to everything. It so nice taking time to know on what we are really want to see to a partner because we couldn't change partner everytime! It based on real LOVE. To Social Media, is Friend is Really a Friend? After my Friend definition, I have a great and real friend! 93

Barack Obama, soon to become the 44th President of the U.S.A., is many things: a statesman, a lawyer, an author, and an orator. It is also our opinion at GeekDad that, even without knowing him personally, we have enough evidence to demonstrate that he is a big geek. Even if you didn't want him to win the election, you (Read More)
