I am/was a huge fan of Google Notebook. This seems to be the same concept without the browser plugin. It revolves mainly around bookmarking, which was what Google seemed to claim as the downfall of their version.

SaveIE6: Help us save the best browser around

IE6 needs YOUR help
These days we are inundated with bloated web browsers that overcomplicate our lives. However, there is one eminent exception: IE6.
It has been around since 2001 and is still one of the most powerful and versatile browsers available.

Ok. I'll admit, at first I thought this site was for real. But then for the heck of it I tried to follow the download instructions. :)

An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis Project

Kind of Bloop: An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis — Kickstarter: "What would the pioneers of jazz sound like on a Nintendo Entertainment System? Coltrane on a C-64? Mingus on Amiga? For years, I've wondered what 'chiptune jazz' would sound like, but there are only a tiny handful of jazz covers ever made."

This project needed a goal of $2,000 to to be given the green light and after 15 days has already exceeded $6000

Google in 2006 claimed creating it's own distro "would be kind of dumb"

Your Daily...: Google at work on desktop Linux: "Google at work on desktop Linux

Back in 2006 it was rumored that Google was planning to release an OS but the response to this was they use it internally and would never release it.

The news went like this:

Google has confirmed it is working on a desktop linux project called Goobuntu, but declined to supply further details, including what the project is for. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/31/google_goes_desktop_linux/

update:

Google only uses it on the premises
'It's awesome, but we're not going to be releasing it. Unless you work here it wouldn't work anyway. If you haven't tried ubuntu, you should, I have the regular one running on my laptop and it really is fantastic.'

Google Unveils a PC Operating System

In a post on its company blog, Google said the operating system would initially be aimed at netbooks, the compact, low-cost computers that have turned the PC world on its head. It said the open-source software, called Chrome OS, would be available in the second half of next year.

“Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS,” the blog post said. “We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the Web in a few seconds.”

Google has already developed an operating system for mobile phones, called Android. And several manufacturers of netbooks are also using that software.

Google has long promoted a vision of computing in which applications delivered over the Web play an increasingly central role, replacing software that runs on the desktop. In that world, applications run directly inside an Internet browser, rather than atop an operating system, the traditional software that controls most of the operations of a PC.

About licenses, photos and online mobs

Over the past day there’s been a little “crisis” going on over at FriendFeed. Let me introduce the contenders first:
* Kol Tregaskes, who liked a photo on DeviantArt which made it to his FriendFeed account (on June 19th!) via visualize.us
* “velonka”, the photographer of that photo and model in that photo who noticed the image on July 6th
* The picture on DeviantArt, originally marked as Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 LicenseNow, after a few weeks of no action at all, the photographer noticed the photo on FriendFeed and didn’t wait a second to rain down some foul language on Kol:

VerothicA: WHY IS MY PHOTO HERE? are you fucvking retarded? remove it now! Its for Deviantart.com members ONLY you asshole!!!! – velonka

No, not some nice asking to take it down or – what my approach would have been – saying thanks for sharing. Full throttle from a stand still which shortly thereafter got her some flack from other commenters. And rightly so.

Only after various posts the lady apparently notices that her photo was posted as Creative Commons and removes that licensing. Of course, too little too late. Starting a conversation like she did, you are just asking for trouble. I’m wondering whether she is writing the people at Google, Microsoft and Yahoo letters in the same language because the photo is showing up there too.

Man upset girlfriend doesn’t look like J-Lo, takes it out on hairdresser.

The assault trial stems from a bizarre series of events in 2006.

Lacey's then-girlfriend Aleena Shadbina allegedly paid $1600 to Broadbeach hairdresser Phillipe Hadchiti for hair extensions, and later returned wanting a hair dye to look more like Hollywood star J-Lo. Mr Hadchiti said he would not dye the hair but another salon did.

Lacey later returned to Mr Hadchiti's salon after his girlfriend complained about the results of her J-Lo-inspired do.

An argument broke out and Lacey allegedly punched Mr Hadchiti after demanding a refund and trying to take money out of the till.
