Dave Winer recently broke the news that Google will soon introduce a “Google Web Services”,  a competitor to Amazon Web Services. This isn’t much of a shock to anyone. The extra bit that is somewhat of a surprise  is the price: free. He then explains that the reason it will be free is that they [...]

I have 6 evernote (previously mentioned here) invites up for grabs. If you’re interested, drop a comment with your email.

I mentioned in a previous post that I was using a private WordPress blog to keep my notes. Not anymore. I migrated to Evernote.

The way I use it: “web readings queue“
While I read my feeds I often click on links that open in new tabs and keep reading my feeds. When I’m done with the feeds, I start browsing the tabs that I opened. Often I don’t [...]

After 10 years I no longer consider myself a linux user and all it took was a few months of using OSX.
Mac is so much better it makes no sense to compare it with anything else out there at the moment. It’s in a league by itself.

In case you haven’t heard, Google Reader went Social.
Summary: Add people to your gmail chat/gtalk and you’ll be able to see their Reader’s shared items and they’ll be able to see yours. It’s a great way to not miss interesting blog posts (specially “niche posts” that don’t hit the digg frontpage) and to make [...]

Sadly, the most important addon I use, Google Browser Sync is still not compatible with Firefox 3b2. Google needs to stop slacking… or would need to if it had competition :/
Anyway a few other addons I use are also not compatible yet: Google Gears, DownThemAll, Adblock Plus and the Growl addon.
Oh well, guess I’ll have [...]
