Google Sync: Now with push Gmail support

This is big stuff, and if there's anyone actually paying for MobileMe a year from now, well, you already looked like a fool, so what's the difference? The Google Mobile Blog reports today that Google has added push email support to Google Sync, which previously provided that support for Google...

Could Microsoft Office finally be heading to Linux?

Nine years ago , I learned about a skunkworks project Microsoft had handed off to an Israeli software firm that was to have seen a port of Microsoft Office to Linux. The port was seen as a just-in-case solution, but with Linux not ever taking off in any serious way on the desktop, it was dropped, never...

Worst blog post ever? Or worst blog ever?

I used to think of lazy bloggers as being the bottom feeders of the web. (You know, people who blog about absolutely nothing and then end the post with, "Thoughts?" or "Discuss!" in some weird bid to get an actual conversation going.) But this one takes the cake. In a post to the...

Introducing the Google Chrome OS

Well, it's official. Google will take on Windows, not with some based on Android (which is dumb, and curious, in my opinion), but with yet another OS based on the Chrome browser .

Uninstall MobileMe

Thanks to Derek E., who notes that there's a hidden feature of iTunes 8: You can now uninstall the MobileMe control panel, which was a huge complaint from previous iTunes versions. Here's a shot: Obviously, it would be better if this piece of junk was optional, but at least now you can rid your...

Welcome to Chromium

I'm surprised that there isn't a Google Chrome Blog. After all, the company has about 1100 different blogs, and seems to have one for just about every product and service it makes. That said, Google does have a Chromium Blog , which is about the open source project behind Chrome. It's a start...

MobileMe photo upload finally fixed on Windows

I check almost every single day to see whether it’s finally possible for Windows users to upload photos to MobileMe using a Web browser. It’s never worked right. But as of today, it actually works.
