Parents, have your child's doodle appear on Google.com in the 'Doodle for Google' contest: http://www.google.com/doodle4google. #fb

Yahoo finally sold HotJobs... to Monster.com

Pinch-to-zoom now now available on Nexus One.

Apple seems to position the iPad only as a tablet and not as a tablet PC. In other words, iPad:iTouch as MBP:macbook.

Underwhelmed by the new iPad. Seems like a super-sized iTouch.

@wmacgyver As cool as seeing games on portable devices, it also feels like Square is milking the franchise with port and port of old games.

@bartt Good luck!

@seldo Then have Sony and Nintendo each build a search engine too!

@ronin Should set up some sort of dynamic dns on your system.

@felix Why do you YSB for? I'm not sure how much support Y! is still putting behind it.

After last week's great Dollhouse episode, this week was kind of a let down. #fb

@seldo More evidence of that being reported now. http://tinyurl.com/y8vwchh

Chrome for OS X now has a basic bookmark manager in the dev channel build.

@dustinwhittle Even if you take the cynical view, a lot of positives can result from the action.

Went to the gym yesterday and is now very sore, but 2 weeks into the new year and I haven't broken my resolution.

Google Update open source

Posted by hsin on July 2nd, 2009

Couldn’t remember if I wrote this, but awhile back Google open source’d its software update engine, Google Updates. The project name is Omaha.

The OSX update engine is a subset of this project.
