The best April fool!
The April fool’s joke that Google played on everyone today is perhaps one of the best, geekiest and most original I’ve seen in a long while.

Printing in the clouds
A question that was on many people’s minds was how will you be able to print from a web-centric device such as an iPad? Apple’s latest iPhone OS 4.0, due for the iPhone this summer and for the iPad this fall, does not show any insights as far as I can see on the rumoured [...]

The “old” vs. the “new”
I recently came about this article on the FT, stating that European Telco’s were gearing up for a fight with the big “G” (that’s Google). Apparantly, the big Telco’s (such as Telefónica, S.A., France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom) are looking to get some sort of compensation from Google for the use of its bandwidth-consuming application [...]
