This of course might be forbidden due to security reason so i'm just asking. I believe iwould need to modify it so that it points to the google's servers. thank you (I believe i already asked this question but i have no idea if it's on this forum or not, i can't find it anywhere !)

I've managed to, but for some reason the App Bar tab (or whatever it's called; the far left tab) doesn't show anything.

I don't like this. Why can't they give you an option to put them on the top?? With them on the left it gobbles up at least 20-30% of your iGoogle real estate. Hey Google, how about listening to your users for a change?????

I thought this GTK demo would be a nice concept to implement: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/popup-scrollbar-concept-demo/ P.S. I now have 100 contacts in wave!

An aura of saintly impartiality is certainly helpful in the Department of Definitely Not Evil, and Google's own execs reinforce the 'untouched by human hand' legend, even as Google's own explanatory statements shift beneath them, and Google's own lawyers contradict them."

We're all seen people crying from the rooftops about how YouTube is making some seriously ugly choices in how they handle content, but i never expected to see this from ChiCity (known for "Keeping your refrigerator stocked will get you many women"). It is very well put together, and although none of it is new, i think we're really starting to see people get pissed off about this. YouTube needs to be a lot more like daddy Google and treat all content fairly. Stop being copyright Nazis, stop featuring videos, and stop being so "family friendly". More and more users are getting pissed, and some have started competing websites like http://freespeechvids.com/ http://donatetofsv.com/ - and - http://thevideobay.org/ I don't think YouTube is dying. I just think it's in a long transition period. They've been making small changes so far. They've introduce full HD videos. They've blogged about how video ratings actually suck. They've acquired On2 which gives them "ownership" of codecs that they can open and use with HTML 5 open web video. I've also detailed how they'll finally be moving away from 1 channel 1 user http://blogoscoped.com/forum/163108.html There's still more needed. They need to drop the partnership program and allow anyone to make money from ads on videos. It's mutually beneficial. I think they've just been held back by having to work with YouTube's shitty infrastructure which i can only hope they're in the final stages of gutting and rebuilding. They need a new interface that's clean and Google-y. Right now Orkut is still better. 'nuff said. I'm sure they're working on these things, but i am getting a little impatient.

As a result, this unannounced, undocumented change has caused a number of Firefox extensions (including mine) to stop working. We have been trying to contact Google to find out what is behind this change, and whether it is permanent or not. If anyone can shed any light on this situation, the assistance would be very much appreciated. john Tourtellott http://blogoscoped.com/forum/163578.html#id163578 www.newsonrails.com publishes Google's 100 hot trends. I see they are real because Google responds on the request like http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?q=... and key words from www.newsonrails.com. Is there any API to get hot trends over 40s?

It’s no longer a myth, it’s real. The next “super” Android device will almost certainly be a HTC phone that’s much thinner than even the Droid or iPhone – The Dragon/Passion. This is the phone the senior Android guys at Google are now carrying around and testing, at least as of a couple of weeks ago. If you’re willing to give up the Droid’s keyboard, the Dragon/Passion is going to be a really cool phone. It should be fully available very soon. Way more interesting are the rumors we’ve been hearing for months about a pure Google-branded phone. Most of our sources have unconfirmed information, which we describe below. But there are a few things we have absolutely confirmed: Google is building their own branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding (Microsoft did the same thing with their first Zunes, which were built by Toshiba). There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be." Source:http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/17/thegoogle-phone/ BizAbh
