Being completely new to Australia and since Malaysia doesn’t have any sort of open-source community whatsoever I searched around for a linux/blender/open-source group when arriving. I found SLUG, or the Sydney Linux User Group. They hold monthly meetings, and though I was unavailable to join their January meeting, I did manage to join the February [...]
I recently became the proud new owner of an Android phone, or more specifically the Samsung Galaxy S i9000. Upon purchase it was promptly rooted and had a custom rom flashed onto it. Also recently KDE 4.6 was released and after a night of compiling I was sitting at a sparkling new desktop and customising [...]
People reading this post who know a little about Chrome might point at the title of this post and consider it a typo – it should read why isn’t Chrome OS going to be successful? I wish that this were true. Chrome OS is Google’s attempt at an operating system, and can be described as [...]
I have a Google Wave account. I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and have had time to familiarise myself with it enough to write a review. In a nutshell, Google Wave is a pimped combination of email, instant messaging, and live document collaboration. It tries to combine these three functions into an interface [...]
Any self-respecting online crawler would know that Google Wave has started their private invitation-only beta. No, I don’t (yet) have an invitation. This does remind me of way back when GMail went through this phase. I obviously secured myself an invite early on (where early is relative) and switched over from Microsoft’s Hotmail to turn [...]
If you read my initial post about Google Chrome (the OS, not the Brow- wait a minute, is there even a clear distinction anymore?) you would have realised that I didn’t really give opinions on what I felt about it but instead how I visualised it to be. I believe in designating some mull-over time [...]
Read Google’s original blog post about it. That’s right, my conspiracy theory about Google (orignally posted a good month back) has come true, and it’s going to be out there around late 2010. Brief summary: Google is making an operating system (Linux-based too) with help from the open-source community that focuses on getting the user [...]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’d have heard about Bing. Bing is Microsoft’s latest attempt at a search engine to challenge Google – and last Monday, they released it for public use. They did MSN search, Live! search, and now Bing. Let’s see if I can actually make [...]
Google is, actually, one of my top three disliked companies. The other two are Microsoft and Adobe. Why I dislike Microsoft and Adobe is a post for another day, but today I would like to talk about Google. Believe it or not, I will explain this without ONCE saying any personal bad experiences with Google’s [...]
Update: As of 27th August the buildbot now provides 64-bit builds. Thanks Jeff :) The other day I was surfing the web and read an article about Google Chrome in some sort of hacking competition – this then prompted me to check out Google’s progress on porting Google Chrome to Linux and Mac. For those [...]
