Corruptful

Gmail’s huge success owes itself in large part to the wide range of applications, browser add-ons, styles, scripts and bookmarklets that work with it. From the get-go Google’s stayed out of developers’ way and turned a blind eye to unofficial Gmail add-ons, even ones that may very well violate its terms of service. Smart move: Google’s high tolerance for third-party apps have only helped Gmail win the hearts of power users and tweakers everywhere. To celebrate, today we’ve got our top 10 list of unauthorized and unofficial but hella-useful apps that make Gmail that much better. More here.

On Thursday Apple said it reached an agreement with General Motors, Ford Motor and Mazda Motor Corp to integrate hookups for iPod in new 2007 car models.

This means that more than 70% of 2007 car models in the United States will easily be able to connect iPods to the car stereos. All 56 of General Motors models will offer iPod hook-ups, as well as many, if not most, models of the other two companies.

Apple’s well on it’s way to solidifying the dictatorship.

YouTube is an amazing website with a novel idea and has recently have been estimated to have a market value of approximately $1 billion. That’s $1,000,000,000.00. That is a lot of money.

I’ve come up with five companies that I think are the most likely to purchase YouTube (here).

Time Warner - AOL Time Warner would be a great company to purchase You Tube, and in my opinion, one of the most likely. It has a great platform for distribution of videos and marketing with all their other features and would have a high success rate of further marketing.

Sony - Sony would be great, and follows right behind Time Warner and Yahoo! In my opinion. They’ve got a great are and potential for marketing and production.

Microsoft - Microsoft may purchase it, but in my opinion it’s unlikely. Microsoft doesn’t have much media-related content/companies that would successfully help market YouTube.

Yahoo! - Yahoo! Is growing. They have Flickr, their photo-sharing site. It would be a great purcahse for Yahoo! They could somehow integrate or co-market Flickr and YouTube and would have a high success rate.

Google - Google is a possibility. They already have the Google Videos, and if Google were to purchase YouTube they’d only add to their monopoly. They also have the “plus” of integration.

NewsCorp - NewsCorp and Fox would have a great little monarchy growing here as well with the addition of YouTube with Myspace. They have a huge potential for marketing and integration. A likelihood.

Just my thoughts. Feel free to comment.

It is a world of technology and new technologies are introduced every single day. Similar to mobiles, now windows also have the potential to use wireless internet service. The main rivalries in wireless business are cingular wireless, sprint wireless and so on. People can connect to internet through different wireless services if they have good wireless internet coverage connection. Different services like wi fi hotspot, installation and maintenance of wireless internet equipment, etc are provided by different internet providers to their customers. The rogers wireless is another wireless internet provider which is planning to introduce new product in the market.

Last Thursday Microsoft failed to end the fear that the new version of Windows software - Microsoft Windows Vista - would be delayed yet again. This brought up the issues that the growth of related technology may temporarily stagnate; particularly programs and applications specifically related to the Windows system. Because of this, Microsoft’s shares dropped 2% down to $23.87 on the NASDAQ.

Kevin Johnson, the co-president of Microsoft’s platforms and services unit say that they’ll “ship Windows Vista when it is available.”

Windows currently supplies the operating system for more than 90% of worldwide PCs. It has been five years since Microsoft released it’s last Operating System, and Vista is speculated to be released in early 2007.

Google Launches Open Source Project Hosting

Yesterday Google launched “Google Code,” which is a place where developers can host current open source web projects. this is similar to the existing sourceforge, only run by Google.

The actual page of Google’s project can be found here.

The service is still new and still very very simple, but with time more features are expected. Expect more details on Google Code in the near future.

Fascinating, I know. But it gets even more intense, behold, I have a screenshot!

I know your heart is just quivering with excitement. Google Ads. Wow!

Anyway, there is a little story behind it I suppose. I was refreshing some of my pages as I was messing with the ad coloration and position, and I came across this one and took a screenshot. It only appeared once out of about 25 attempts. I’m not a premium Google publisher, so the only real thing I can think of is that they’re experimenting with a new format adjustment.

Nothing major. Not life-altering news, but I thought it was interesting. It seems like a type of ad that would, as intended, compel the viewer to “change to ads about” whatever topic, as you can see on the right side of the above image. Personally, I prefer this format and think it’d be much more successful in generating clicks.

Fascinating, I know.

Yes, it’s old news, but it still seems to be a major issue in the area of digital music players today. The Ipod Nano. It’s a beautiful thing to be sure. Slickly and sleekly designed to near perfection - yes, near. Bragged to be as thin as a pencil, which it is, the Apple Ipod Nano is a sight to behold; until you scratch it.

Drop it, smash it, place it in your pocket, or even touch it in the wrong way and it’s prone to damage. If you buy an Ipod Nano, you risk changing this:

into this:

You make the choice.

As if that were not bad enough, the iPod Nano lacks many of the essentials. It is well designed, but does not have an FM tuner and is way overpriced when compared to it’s brothers and sisters.

The bottom line is this: there are alternatives. Don’t buy a Nano. You’ll only be disappointed. I’m a huge fan of Apple, but the Nano really makes me sick. I haven’t felt so sick of such a product since the Suffle came out.

Today, April 1st, Google announced it’s new service, Google Romance. Think it is a hoax?      

This is not the first time Google has pulled such a prank. They did so before in their things such as Google Gulp or Google Copernicus Center or Google’s patented PigeonRank or Google’s MentalPlex. Just a fun April Fool’s Day webpage.Have fun!
