G.ho.st is a service which gives you a online virtual computer for free. Now this concept of a online virtual computer is nothing new at all. g.ho.st, which is the web address, (not .com but .st, just so you know), gives you 5 GB of free space which is hosted on Amazon.com’s S3 Web Service. They also offer some applications like the Zoho writer and Youtube channel. The look of and feel seems similar to Vista, odd. It seems their only punch here is they use the Amazon Web Service to keep your data safe. At this point even though it is only in Alpha, its nothing to write home about, and sure will not take over your computer desktop any time soon.
Windows will be coming soon. At this stage however it probably is OK to buy a new PC. However they are showing off a multi-touch version of Windows 7, worth taking a look at.
Today we took a look at Bigscreenlive.com. Bigscreenlive is a program that allows you to serf the internet, and navigate the computer easily. It is mostly made for seniors citizens who did not grow up in the computer or internet age. Over all it is a great program and easy to use. However I found the inbox area and the news area to be a little clunky. And I think the price might be a little high for what it does, $9.95 a month. It is worth trying out for 30 days though. Check out the latechna video below for more info…
Thanks to Webware.com for the hint on bigscreeenlive.
This is a interesting site. Retrievr, allows you to draw your search. Basically you draw the picture you want and it searches pictures from Flicker from what you drew. Thanks to Tekzilla for finding this site, (look at there video below).
Back in June of 2007 Google released Google TV Ads. Today it was let out of beta and is now avible to every one. When I first heard about it, I thought it was odd that a company like Google was going to bring AdWords to the TV. But then again is seems Google will try anything.
Google TV Ads now allow any one who can spend only a couple hundred dollars on a ad, to have this ad premiere on some of the most popular networks out there. This really makes me think, what types of commercial are we going to start to see. It’s so cheap now that almost anyone could make the money, and make the commercial premiere on any network the next day. Take a look at the Google TV Ads video below, from Google.

I don’t know but it seems like people love thin, or do they. Well the most popular thin laptop the Macbook Air is popular with only one group. The laptop is made for those who need to surfer the internet, write documents, or do simple things like that. The Air lacks many external components including more USB ports, and a optical drives. Also on the inside you will not have much hard drive space. All and all right now it dose not seem like the Air will do to well. I don’t think there is a big enough group to get a computer like this. From what I see the Air will probably get a overhaul or taken off the line. If you take a look at PPX, (Popsci Prediction Exchange), the stock is going up and down for this computer but over all I don’t know if it look to good for this computer. It looks like it might just be swept away in the air.
