remember :: with this it's easy

I don't know how good your memory is but if I don't write it down, I tend to forget it! So isn't this nifty online checklist handy! Just keep it bookmarked on your toolbar and when you need to make a checklist it's right there. Print it out, put it in your purse and check it off. (Oh and don't forget that you put it in your purse hehe). So helpful for those of us who need a little extra help sometimes ;)

Finally... a checklist that is JUST COOL!

Internet :: can the spam

Spam, that annoying stuff we see in our email inboxes so often has finally been canned. For now anyway. I was wondering why one of my email boxes had been very empty the past week. Has yours? Maybe this explains it.

Two major internet service providers (ISPs) cut off internet access to the company McColo.com on Tuesday and online junk mail has been slashed by 75 per cent after a company believed to host some of the world's largest internet spam gangs was shut down. The California-based company had a client list that included some of the world's largest cyber-criminal gangs who bombarded computers with unwanted messages.

McColo Corp had a number of criminal organisations they were turning a blind eye to,' Jason Steer, product manager at IronPort, told vnunet.com. Unfortunately the shutdown will not affect spam in the long term, saying that spammers will find other outlets and although The McColo web page is currently down, the company can go online again if they find another willing ISP. Drat!

Technology :: answers through the looking glass

If only searching for information was this easy! The Looking Glass is a design concept by Tokyo resident Mac Funamizu that would provide all the answers you're looking for via a see through tablet. The user of the device essentially "frames" his question by using the device to frame a picture. The device takes a picture of what the user sees through the glass, analyzes the image, and then outlines key parts of the image, adding information from internet sites. Not only would it work from internet pictures but it would be used in real life applications as well (such as the apple)

A concept that I hope becomes reality soon. It's JUST COOL!
