I had proposed the idea that Google was becoming the new Netscape, on the heels of news that Google had acquired Writely and MeasureMap, and later learned that they had also acquired @Last Software, makers of the fun-yet-powerful Sketchup.
But in a seemingly odd cue of events, I stumbled upon a couple of articles that talk […]
An informative article passed through the ‘Labs recently c/o Stephen de Vries via Slashdot, who mentions a whitepaper, privided by Corsaire, on securing Mac OS X Tiger.

For some reason, such things all ways seem to stumble upon my lap in the few moments I do have to breathe and relax and actually PUT THE COMPUTER DOWN. Thanks to the online shenanigans of Matt Mullenweg (aka The Godfather of Wordpress), I was sucked into the online world of The Da Vinci […]
