Yahoo Messenger 2.0 for iOs: FAIL!

October 12th, 2010 § § permalink

As was previously announced, Yahoo Messenger 2.0 is now live on the Apple Store. Unfortunately this is not the best app and is missing the basic things:

  • As an app specifically builty for iOS 4.1, the icons are not made for the retina screen and look like crap
  • Even though the Ipod Touch 4th gen has 2 cameras and works with Face time, Yahoo made this version compatible only with Iphone 3GS and 4

Hopefully, based on user pressure we will be seeing a new version pretty soon that fixes all this issues

UPDATE:

And here we have it, an official answer from the development team, on their official blog:

We’re working on support for video on iPod Touch 4 and hope to release an update very shortly. Appreciate your patience.

So, I just hope that short means short :)

Google Latitude and CSE updates

October 8th, 2010 § § permalink

Google’s LatLong blog has announced that the Latitude service is now more user friendly and can be accessed at it’s own URL:  http://www.google.com/latitude . The update has added now in the same place also the Dashboard and History, making the service more fun to use. I’ve been using those 2 since their launch but to access them I had to rely on my browser’s history or Google Search to get to their URL.

Google Custom Search is also receiving a new feature and allows you now to manage what the auto completion feature shows to your users.

New Google Layout

March 8th, 2010 § § permalink

Tonight I was searching with an anonymous proxy on Google when I got a new (at least for me layout). The new choice of colors is way more pleasant than the old colors and there are also a few other changes (icons and labeling) on the more options sidebar. Hope that this test passes and we will see a general rollover

Photosynth in Google Street View

August 15th, 2009 § § permalink

Google LatLong blog is anouncing that now Microsoft Photosynth is available on Google Maps’s Street view. Oh wait, is not Photosynth is only Picasa integration :)

Looking how similar the products are I’m curios how long it will take until the patent lawsuit appears. And who will win…
