Get Ready For A New Platform War. Google Gears Drives Straight At Microsoft’s Profits. (13)
on TechCrunch (25362) permalinkGoogle launched Gears last May, and for the first year of its release it was considered a minor, niche product that a few developers and users may take advantage of to allow offline access to web applications. You can probably recall the arguments at the time: who needs offline access, connectivity is everywhere anyway, not enough apps will support this etc. It wasn’t until a year later and only a few weeks ago, that Google ...Shared by ack (47) Adaulfo (41) ChrisOfSpades (49) Emo (29) fuckmywig (51) GMale73 (42) Joel (31) Jonathan (61) Mark (66) mark (51) Mike (41) Mitch (45) Oriol Pascual (48)Contribute comment

Hilarious Google Search Results (3)
on SEOmoz Daily SEO Blog (959) permalinkPosted by Jane Copland Google has some fantastic OneBox results. We've all seen most of them: the answer to important queries such as "number of horns on a unicorn" and "what is the answer to life the universe and everything", in addition to more sensible results, like accurate information as to "what time is it in Sydney?" However, we feel that Google has neglected to include some important information in its OneBox offerings. As such, ...Contribute comment

FasTrak toll system exposed, could use a serious dose of security (14)
on Engadget (14262) permalinkFiled under: TransportationAh, Black Hat. How we adore you. Each year there's always one speaker who shows up and completely undermines something that most people assume is rock solid. This year, our pals at Hack-A-Day were in attendance to hear Nate Lawson expose California's FasTrak toll system for the security hole that it is. Essentially, toll transponders that are purchased and slapped onto vehicles offer up exactly no authentication, meaning that anyone with an ill ...Shared by allgoood (24) Atomic Chicken Ranch (17) Brian (21) Chris Chan (43) ChrisOfSpades (49) Dave S (88) Doug Stewart (212) Eugene (147) GeekThug (22) hank (146) Jason Tucker (38) jon|k (116) MasterCKO (23) OnkelSchark (53)Contribute comment

Meebone Brings Meebo Back to the Desktop (4)
on ReadWriteWeb (14753) permalinkMeebone is a bit of a strange piece of software, in that it is an AIR based desktop client for Meebo. Meebo itself is a great web application that allows you to easily log into all your favorite IM services from the web, so having a desktop client for it might seem like a rather odd choice at first. However, it actually turns out to be quite a useful tool. What Meebone basically does is ...
