More colleges using google for student email systems.

I reported just over a year ago, that Worcester State College replaced its Microsoft Exchange based email system for Google Apps for student email accounts.

Remote PC Access

I setup remote PC access on a family member’s computer using gotomypc, and I have to say that it really was as easy as advertised.   I tested it using my laptop and was able to connect, and transfer files, right off the bat.  The interface is clean and simple to use.

Bad move by Apple

Apple barred the new Google Talk App from the iTunes App Store.
The initial claim was that the app duplicated core services of the iPhone.

Google’s GDrive

The rumors are flying hot and heavy that Google will start offering online storage.  Ya, you get space with Gmail and with their online photo storage service, but this would be generic storage space.
It will be interesting to see how much ‘free’ space Google offers and how much they will charge for additional space.  Online [...]

Non-Safari browsers for the iPhone

Apple is now allowing third party browsers on the iPhone.
Don’t get too excited, these are all Safari based browsers.  
When I can load Opera, Chrome or Firefox on my iPhone, that will be a real crack in Apple’s control over the device.

ipowerweb fails the customer service test

Not really news, they have been a pain to deal with for years.
Now the final straw.  I’m moving my domains off their service, and ipower doesn’t send out a confirmation of transfer notice.  So, I have to wait days for transfer wait to time out.  
It’s this type of behavior that is why they are [...]
