All Private Google Profiles to be deleted for Google+ sake.

UPDATE:
Clarifications from Google:

If you currently have a private profile but you do not wish to make your profile public, you can delete your profile. Or, you can simply do nothing. All private profiles will be deleted after July 31, 2011.

That’s more like it. I’ve deleted my personal Google Profile anyway.

——-

Search Engine Land reported that Google+ Profiles Will Be Public: Google To Terminate All Private Profiles After July 31st.

Good move, Google. I just remembered to delete my Google Profile, the personal one. I do have a different account that has no personal information other than my professional experience.

Let’s take a look at part of my to-do-list:

  • Delete Facebook Profile – done
  • Delete personal Google Profile – done
  • Not joining Google+ – done

What’s next Google? What about fending off Microsoft from threatening manufacturers over Android and Chrome?

Happy 4th of July.

We’re celebrating Independence Day on the 4th of July in The United States. As usual there were gathering, food and fireworks. Less time scouring on the Internet for news.

There were the Sheriff cars visiting the area because some people got too carried away with their fireworks.

Star Trek on Netflix, beam me and sign me up!

Star Trek is now on Netflix according to TekGoblin and others. I also heard the news on Tech News Today this past Friday July 1st, 2011 if memories served correctly.

Let’s recap:

  • I watched Star Trek The Original Series on re-run in the 80’s.
  • I followed Star Trek: The Next Generation since its premiere till “All Good Things…”
  • I watched a few first episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
  • I kinda watched Star Trek: Voyager and kinda bored with it.
  • I watched Enterprise for one and a half season, then for some reason kept missing it.

I have watched all Star Trek Movies and looking forward to the next one despite major plot loopholes in Star Trek (2009).

Time to get on Netflix.

p.s. I did get to meet Jolene Blalock on an MTV event when Enterprise wa still on production.
