Google Releases New, Consolidated BlackBerry App For Plain And Google Apps Gmail

The Gmail Blog's suggestion to give Gmail a whirl on Google's new Chrome browser (be sure to take our Chrome Poll) isn't the only interesting news to come out of the Gmail camp. An understandable inaccuracy in my coverage of Google's implementation of Google Apps-based Gmail and the resulting exchange with Google over the matter reveals big news for BlackBerry users who access either version of Gmail (the plain, standard one or the Google Apps version).

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A 28-year-old man reporting a burglary faces drug charges after responding officers say they found a marijuana pipe in his bedroom.

Plain Kates on the plane

They say the camera never lies. And even if you are one of the world's most beautiful women the lenses and flashbulbs are guaranteed to show off your every flaw.

Home Is Currently Plain But Geared Towards Success

GameXtract writes "If you're one of the lucky 100,000 who have been invited into Home today, then like myself you've had the thrill of first seeing the email, then freaking out that you haven't started download, then surprised to find out that the download is only roughly 30mbs, and then had a thrill to launch Home for the first time. I'm going to stick to the terms of service, and not reveal anything that will spoil your Home experience, but I will share a few small aspects that have been noticeable from the start."

Google conquers the ad world one plain-text blurb at a time

Here we are in the spanking new offices of Google Canada. There's the flat-screen image of a rotating globe up on the wall of the reception area, appropriate for a company seeking near global domination. There's the predictable crayon box of Google colours scattered about, in both accessories and the Google logo itself. And there is a sign-in process for visitors that involves a touch-screen nondisclosure agreement certifying, in part, that I am not a citizen of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria.

Successful Mars Mission Ends on Frigid Arctic Plain

Washington — After more than five months of an adventure that made many new discoveries about the Red Planet, NASA’s Phoenix lander has succumbed to frigid temperatures, declining daylight and a recent dust storm on the northern plains of Mars that together have ended the spacecraft’s ability to operate.

Wireless Investor: AT&T shines light on Centennial bargain amid the gloom

It has been as plain as day for over a month that a boatload of stocks are at buy one/get one free (share) prices — trading amazingly far below fair market value. It is also common knowledge that the small mobile carrier stocks are in their third act, just waiting and/or angling for a takeover.

Authenticate Linux Clients with Active Directory (Technet)

"1. Samba joins AD as a regular host. If you want to use plain Kerberos with pam authentication, you'll have to make host/server@REALM users by hand in AD instead of machine accounts and export a /etc/krb5.keytab file using Microsoft's ktpass tool from the windows support tools. ktpass has a lot of weird limitations and an uncertain future. I have done this, and it works, but the samba way is easier.

How Billy wowed New York

How Twenty20 millions left England muddled

The thoughts of Peter Moores can sometimes be difficult to translate from corporate coachspeak into plain language, but his considered reflection yesterday on the chastening Stanford-sponsored week in Antigua, which culminated in the harrowing tenwicket defeat on Saturday evening, could be summarised easily: muddled minds produced muddled cricket.

A Toolkit for Silicon-Based Quantum Computing

"Bit" is a contraction of "binary digit," but unlike a classical bit, which is plain-vanilla binary with a value of either 0 or 1, a quantum bit, or qubit -- the theoretical basis of quantum computing -- holds both 0 and 1 in a superposed state until it is measured.

Make credit forms clear, banking industry urged

OTTAWA - MasterCard Canada wants the banking industry to drop the legalese in their credit application form in favour of plain language so consumers can understand how hefty interest rates are calculated if they can't pay their bill.

Interacting with Databases through the Java Persistence API

"JPA entities are Java classes whose fields are persisted to a database by the JPA API. JPA entities are Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), as such, they don't need to extend any specific parent class or implement any specific interface. A Java class is designated as a JPA entity by decorating it with the @Entity annotation.

Maharashtra, Delhi, AP top e-commerce activity (and other curious facts): eBay India report

Online auction platform eBay, Inc is a popular platform for digging out consumer e-commerce trends that range from interesting to just plain weird. So eBay's India transaction census guide released today makes for an interesting read, especially since it provides comprehensive state-wise segmentation of top items bought and sold in the country in 2007, including places such as Sikkim, Pondicherry and Daman and Diu (eBay has released 2007 data a little late in the day, considering we're nearing end-08). According to a 2006 JuxtConsult report, eBay India has a 38% market share in online shopping, and a majority of its sellers are either small and medium businesses or solo entrepreneurs.

Mobile Finance: Indigenous, Ingenious or Both?

In Ghana, it's popularly known as susu. In Cameroon, tontines or chilembe. And in South Africa, stokfel. Today, you'd most likely call it plain-old microfinance, the nearest term we have for it. Age-old indigenous credit schemes have run perfectly well without much outside intervention for generations. Although, in our excitement to implement new technologies and solutions, we sometimes fail to recognize them. Innovations such as mobile banking -- great as they may be -- are hailed as revolutionary without much consideration for what may have come before or who the original innovators may have been.
