  • Don Dodge, Google and Developers Evangelism

    November 16, 2009

    I was just reading over at TechCrunch about Google quickly hiring Don Dodge after he was let go from Microsoft. It seems Don will be doing what he used to do at Microsoft – Developer Evangelism (good for him, and Google!). I’m very happy to see that Google is putting their stock options and cash [...]

  • Israeli Shortage in High End Laptops

    September 5, 2007

    At Yedda (my day job) we recently ordered 3 new laptops. Our spec was very specific (that’s how we are ;-) ): Core Duo 2 running on at least 2Ghz 2Gb of RAM 100Gb or more hard drive WXGA+ screen (1440×960 resolution) 14.1″ screen Non shared memory video card DVD burner The reason we want [...]

  • Google Apps for your Domain, DNS, CNAME and Security

    June 4, 2007

    I’ve recently started to use Google Apps for Your domain to host my private emails on the sandler.co.il domain. Google Apps for your domain is quite cool and was very easy to configure. I mainly moved to it due to the unbelievable amounts of SPAM and I didn’t have the power or time to configure [...]

  • Forgive me Outlook for I have sinned (not)

    April 15, 2007

    Forgive me Outlook for I have sinned. I have been using you as one of the primary communication tools that I have form your very first days. I have stayed within the 2Gb PST file limits but when I was told that Outlook 2003 can hold up to 20Gb I have rejoiced, joyed and thanked [...]

  • Google Apps for Your Domain and Gmail Mail Applet for Nokia phones

    April 7, 2007

    I own a Nokia E61 cell phone. A nice phone all in all (aside from the backup problems my wife encountered). Gmail has this cool little applet that lets me access my Gmail account in a nicer (and better cached) way from my cell phone. It’s a really nice program and I use it quite [...]

  • Universal Binaries

    April 4, 2007

    Is it just me or Universal Binaries for Mac are a world domination scheme to increase the bandwidth usage of the world? I know that the Apple folks didn’t want people to start figuring out “Do I have an Intel process or a PowerPC one?”, after all most people don’t really know what’s inside their [...]

  • Amazon Recommendations, Big Giant Collection Books, Reprints and New Editions

    March 15, 2007

    I really like Amazon. I really like Amazon’s recommendations and ever since I inputed most of my books into Amazon I get really good recommendations. There is one thing that bothers me, though. I recently made a big order from Amazon and included two books which I was long overdue in owning and reading them. [...]

  • Mac Software Updates – I expected more from Apple

    March 14, 2007

    We recently got a Mac Mini to the office so that we can test Yedda better with Safari and in general how Yedda looks, feels and works on all of the various browsers on Mac (mainly Safari, FireFox, Camino and Opera). It’s a cute little machine. I can easily understand why people fall in love [...]

  • Nokia PC Suite Content Copier .nfb / .nbu Fiasco

    March 10, 2007

    This is going to be a long rant about the new Nokia PC Suite Content Copier backup file format and how its software is NOT compatible with previous versions and there is no mentioning anywhere from Nokia (other than the fact they changed the backup file format stated in their help). My wife recently upgraded [...]

  • Amazon Checkout Interface – Group to as few shipments as possible

    January 18, 2007

    I recently ordered a couple of books from Amazon. When reaching the check out screen I, obviously, selected to group my shipments to as few as possible. I then looked and saw that it was grouped into two shipments, one book should be shipped the next day and the other 4 should ship only on [...]
