Just viewed a screencast of Aptana's support for Adobe AIR. Although I had heard of Adobe AIR before, I didn't pay too much attention.

Widgets are a great way of building small applications using standard web technologies such HTML, CSS and JavaScript on Mac OS/X (will this

Palm recently introduced the Foleo. I was a little surprised Jeff Hawkins is fully behind it because it doesn't feel like a break-through type of product.Is there a need for it? Yes! Does Foleo fill a void? No. My laptop is already my Foleo albeit presumably not as easy to use. These days laptops can be as cheap as Foleo. So I don't think Foleo has a niche big enough to fill.From a

Today Google Apps Premier Edition went live. I don't usually blog about my company's products. But this time, I had a hand or two in it.This is a big day in history.

His Network Computer companies folded after a

Got a MacBook Pro today. I only need one word to summarize the first impression: natural. As a new comer to Mac OS X, I didn't have any problem finding things because they are where they should be. I don't fully understand how many things work. But I am not afraid of messing things up and leaving them in a bad state. On Windows, you have to know what you are doing to avoid getting into that

Google (where I work) just released support for JSON (in addition to Atom) in Google Data feeds of some products. Check out the samples and documentation. Now you can read Google's data (Calendar, Base, Blogger and more to come) in your snazzy AJAX applications with ease. As someone who had a hand in this, I am naturally excited.

I have been using Mozilla ThunderBird to read blogs for a long time. I tried many other blog readers (including the old Google Reader that has the ugly lens interface) but found ThunderBird to be the best. One problem, though, is my subscriptions are only on one machine because ThunderBird, after all, is a desktop application.Most recently, after using the new Google Reader for a while, I

Paul Graham talks about Kiko's demise.Justin wrote that one of the lessons he learned from Kiko was not to get distracted by side projects. It's true they burned up a lot of time working on other ideas. Perhaps if they hadn't, they'd have been so far ahead by the time Google Calendar launched that everyone would have used Kiko instead. Perhaps, but I doubt it. The killer, unforseen by the
