Google Voice in Gmail, Receiving calls. August 26, 2010
Posted by very in : Announcement, Applications, Apps, Media, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentI spend most of my time out of my office, working on various projects. It would be nice to have the ability to receive calls on my computer using Google Voice. Google now makes it possible.
To enable receiving Google Voice calls in Gmail, check the box next to Google Chat in the list of forwarding phones.
Now I can be somewhere else to receive calls without having it to ring the office phone. I could forward it to my mobile phone, but sometimes the signals are non-existent. Care to guess which mobile network I’m with?

Google Voice in Gmail, Oh Yeah! August 26, 2010
Posted by 37prime in : Announcement, Applications, Apps, Linux, Mac OS X, Media, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting, Windows , add a commentGoogle has just made Google Voice even sweeter on Wednesday August 25th, 2010. Now Google Voice users can receive and make calls from Gmail. Providing the microphone and speakers are available. Notebook users should have little problems with the requirements.
You need to install “Video and voice plug-in” to enable this feature with your browser. Video and voice plug-in requires Windows XP+ or Mac OS X 10.4+ or Linux.
Google is slowly rolling out this feature to Google Voice users in the United States. So be patient.
Head to Google Voice.

The Impending Closure Of Google Nexus One Web Store. July 16, 2010
Posted by 37prime in : Announcement, Media, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentToday Google announced they have received the last shipment of Nexus One phones. Google will close the Nexus One Web Store once they sold the last of the phone.
I’d better get the accesories from the store before it closes.

Finally, Android 2.2 Froyo has arrived for my Nexus One. July 4, 2010
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Pictures, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentI was about to give up waiting for Android 2.2 Froyo to come to my Nexus One. Considering everyone I know already got them over the air a few days ago. Well, I had a nice surprise on Saturday night when I saw the notification on my Nexus One.
It was a 44.4 MB download for AT&T Nexus One; from EPE54B to FRF91.
It took roughly 10 minutes for the update to finish.
Yes it does run Adobe Flash, but it crashes a lot; at least for the sites I’ve tried so far.
The best part I like about Froyo is the Wi-Fi hotspot feature. Other than that I have not found anything really new.
Ah well, I’m going to use it for a while now.

Brain Not Needed: Microsoft’s Bing is iPhone-bound in Apple WWDC 2010. May 29, 2010
Posted by 37prime in : Announcement, Apple, Applications, Apps, Mac OS X, Media, Microsoft, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting, Vista, Windows, iPad, iPhone, iPod , add a commentPreviously on “Brain Not Needed”:
Steve Ballmer was going to make an appearance on Steve Jobs WWDC 2010 Keynote introducing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. A brainless analyst claimed that Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 supports native codes for iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X. Then the same brainless analyst retracted the statement.
It is more likely that Apple would be adding Bing search engine into iPhone OS Safari. It will not, however, replaced Google and Yahoo! search. Then again, since Yahoo! is also using Bing search engine. As long as Apple is not dropping Yahoo! search, Bing is making it to the iPhone Safari.
It is more logical for Apple to add Bing and Yahoo! into Safari search; for all platforms.
It is unlikely for Apple to remove Google from the approved search engine for the iPhone.
