Everybody knows google is a giant in the IT industry. Google search is being used by millions all over the world. Google blogs are read by lots of people as well.
Being such a major force in the internet world, it was a shame that google did not allow comments on their blogs. Now they are going to set it right, at last. Google blogs will allow users to leave comments.

I had always wondered what causes our knuckles to pop. What causes the cracking/popping sound when we bend or pull the fingers in our hands?
I found a very satisfactory explanation here.
Apparently, it is bubbles bursting in the synovial fluid surrounding our joints!

San Francisco chronicle has an insightful article on Mike Arrington of Techcrunch fame. They call him ‘Mister Web 2.0‘, and rightly so because Mike is the most influential blogger in the web 2.0 business.
Mike’s Techcrunch routinely breaks technology information to a worldwide tech-savvy audience. Some of Mike’s firsts include breaking the Google-YouTube 1.5 billion deal, that was widely discussed in the blogosphere. With a 7-member team, Techcrunch has grown in leaps and bounds, all in the space of 1 year!! How’s that for growth? Never mind accusations of favoritism from some quarters;Mike is still the most widely read blogger in web 2.0 business. Even fellow bloggers like Om Malik of gigaom will agree.
The San Francisco Chronicle article also hints that Mike is taking a break from blogging for a month or so to spend more time with his parents. And also to think of potential future business.

Yes, thats what Russian music download site Allofmp3.com is accused of by major record labels like Sony BMG, EMI, Warner, Universal, Arista, & Capitol Records.
And they are demanding $150,000 per violation.
That means they are suing Allofmp3 for 1.65 Trillion USD

A great article about Site24×7 has been posted in cybernetnews.com.
Here is a small fragment from the article
“If you have your own Website, when there’s down time, that means frustrated users and potentially lost revenue. There’s nothing more frustrating than going to a website to find that it’s down. It happens whether you like it or not. Several months ago, we looked into different options for monitoring CyberNet News. One of the best sites that we have come across is Site24×7.com which is in beta. We’ve been using it for several months now and have been very impressed.”

Does having more options necessarily make you feel better? Does giving your users multiple ways to do the same thing make them feel any happier or smarter?
Joel Spolsky takes a look at the newly launched Windows Vista and concludes that having to choose between a multitude of options actually makes the user confused and unhappy.
Interesting read. Few excerpts below.

| Choices = Headaches
This item ran on the Joel on Software homepage on Tuesday, November 21, 2006 I’m sure there’s a whole team of UI designers, programmers, and testers who worked very hard on the OFF button in Windows Vista, but seriously, is this the best you could come up with? Every time you want to leave your computer, you have to choose between nine, count them, nine options: two icons and seven menu items. The two icons, I think, are shortcuts to menu items. I’m guessing the lock icon does the same thing as the lock menu item, but I’m not sure which menu item the on/off icon corresponds to. On many laptops, there are also four FN+Key combinations to power off, hibernate, sleep, etc. That brings us up to 13 choices, and, oh, yeah, there’s an on-off button, 14, and you can close the lid, 15. A total of fifteen different ways to shut down a laptop that you’re expected to choose from. The more choices you give people, the harder it is for them to choose, and the unhappier they’ll feel. See, for example, Barry Schwartz’s book, The Paradox of Choice. Let me quote from the Publishers Weekly review: “Schwartz, drawing extensively on his own work in the social sciences, shows that a bewildering array of choices floods our exhausted brains, ultimately restricting instead of freeing us. We normally assume in America that more options (’easy fit’ or ‘relaxed fit’?) will make us happier, but Schwartz shows the opposite is true, arguing that having all these choices actually goes so far as to erode our psychological well-being.” The fact that you have to choose between nine different ways of turning off your computer every time just on the start menu, not to mention the choice of hitting the physical on/off button or closing the laptop lid, produces just a little bit of unhappiness every time. Can anything be done? It must be possible. iPods don’t even have an on/off switch. Here are some ideas. |
