Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Young Bill Gates

BusinessWeek has compiled a brief history of Bill Gates, from college to starting up Microsoft, till he left Microsoft on June 15, 2006. It's worth spending a few minutes to learn about the Microsoft man if you have never followed his story.

‘Google’ Is Now A Verb

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Google as verb 'Google' has been added to Oxford English Dictionary (OED) as a verb, just like what happened to 'Xerox' long time ago. I'm afraid that this will be a common sentence one day:

I used Yahoo to google for books.

I find it interesting to know the fact it has been accepted formally, although I've been using 'google' as a verb all the while.

Fake Identity Generator

Monday, June 19th, 2006

If you afraid to get people to find out who you are, you can stay anonymous online all the time. However, sometimes, you will need to fill up forms with valid information. So, when you really need to fill up online those forms, use this Fake Name Generator by zulugrid.

It generates name, address, phone, mother's maiden name and birthdate that validates with USPS system. (I don't know what system is that, but that's what the author claimed.)

With the great help from digg, the number of generated identities grow by hundreds on every time I click on refresh to generate new identity. It's currently the top digg.

Since every thing works both ways, be careful not to get cheated by some your online friends.

Google to Launch Gbuy

Friday, June 16th, 2006

News.com reported:

Internet search leader Google is testing a system that aims to speed purchases online but bears no resemblance to the popular PayPal payments service of Web auctioneer eBay, Google's chief executive said Thursday.

In another article from News.com:

Google's online payment system, Gbuy, is expected to launch June 28, further pitting the Internet giant against industry titan and rival eBay, according to a research note released Friday by a Wall Street analyst.

Hopefully it's a service that's available for every part of the world, not a for-US-only service.
