#“Google to improve GMail Ads” Based on this one, they need to :-) »

#“ZX Spectrum Tablet on the way?” When asked about basic utility packages, such as art software, he resets the Tablet, and types CIRCLE 20,20,20. I'm convinced. When asked about word processing software, he says, "I'll show you a fucking word processor."It works, too. In conclusion, he says, "That's right. I'm back, bitch." via dystopianfuchsia.com Approx 1000x funnier than anything yesterday. »

#“Using the Amazon Appstore from outside the US (including paid apps) - Android @ MoDaCo” The Amazon Appstore launched recently and it's very cool, but unfortunately it's limited to US customers, leaving the rest of us out in the cold. Which sucks. BUT, there are ways around it! Successfully using the Appstore relies on you having a US presence - a US credit card, a US address and a US phone number (handily, not a US IP), but there are ways to meet this criteria. »

#“Anyone else seeing Facebook Likes incorrectly attributed to them?” I think Facebook may have a big bug on their hands. I just Liked the Obama computer video on Gawker. It's showing up in my stream. But it is also showing up as Liked by my wife who is on the same router. She never clicked Like on it.So either there is some IP address NAT weirdness going on with Facebook or there is a screw-up related to cookie somewhere on this notebook from months back, which would be the last time she used this computer. »

#“Of course you know what we’re all racing to do with Google +1 right now” I'm sure the bots are being written as I type this. »

#“Got a Facebook App? Now you have to go get an SSL Cert.” I got very confused on Friday when our old App which displays reviews on a Facebook Page Tab just disappeared from all the Pages it is on. Then I realised that most of those Pages were only showing the default Facebook Tabs. Where the hell did all the others go? I assumed the old tab needed an upgrade but wasn't bothered as our new tab was ready. »

#“Zoho CRM integration into Google Apps just got even better” I'm a massive fan of Zoho CRM. Inexpensive but jamemd full of features. I've barely scratched the surface of it. Its Goog Apps integration is the best I've seen. Full two-way integration with GMail. I was looking at it today to see if it had Helpdesk functionality and found that it did. But Zoho also has a separate app called Creator Helpdek so I needed to figure out which one to use. »

#“Vibram FiveFingers Cult Member After 2 Weeks #VFF” I first heard about Vibram FiveFingers "shoes" via a blogpost by Robin Blandford a few years back. They seemed to be for climbers, trekkers etc and apart from being amused by the crazy individual toe-pockets, I didn't think much about them after that. Two years ago I busted the crap out of my ankle when walking out of ireland.com in Phibsboro. »

#“Possible alternative to my HDVP-2 Media Player - Patriot Box Office 1080p” via amazon.co.uk I've written about the HDVP-2 before. It's a lovely compact powerful media player. It handles most video formats (unlike Apple TV and many phones which only handle MP4), is small, has HDMI-out and Composite out, plays 1080p, takes an internal HDD, has ethernet, USB, optional wifi and a remote. Overall it's been a great purchase except for a few things. »
