Yesterday I went to the Google Chrome Event (Chrome D3vF3st, a.k.a. #ChromeIL). It was a very geeky event, aimed at chrome developers and Google aficionados. It wasnt as high profiled as the Google GarageGeeks event which had the country’s twiterrati flock to (barely) hear Marissa Mayer, but it was crowded, fast paced and educating. More than that [...]

During this week’s trip to the BI/Portals Conference in Orlando, I was trying out “Vikido”. Vikido is nice application enabling kids to have their own “mailbox” containing video messages sent to them by their friends.

Funny quote from a Ruby on Rails installation guide: “Incase you have problem installing using this command because you are currently on the plane or in the desert waging war against terror or may be worse behind a restrictive corporate proxy server, you need to download the gem files and install them individually.” I love [...]

Last week the Apple iPhone finally made “ali’yah” and is now available for sell in Israel. Of course, all the early adopters already had iPhones they brought from overseas, but that’s besides the point. The point is that all the banks, newspapers and media channels are stampeding to get an “iPhone application”. If only we have [...]

Stumbled on this one today. So true. Worth also going to the comments for the enraged enterprise bots reactions…

Desktop? Why?

So, the Hard-disk on my SAP laptop died. For the third time in 6 months. I have a small suspicion that the Good Ole’ T42 is about to reach the big scrapyard in the sky, but with the current offerings from our IT department, I’ll stick to my IBM workhorse as long as I can. [...]
