From the Official Google Blog for today “…we have already seen more than 500,000 organizations adopt Apps as part of their business..” It looks like Google App’s are doing well at least in Europe. The article is worth looking at and they give a good example of it’s use. It’s Cloud Computing on the leading edge.
On another point, in my email this morning was the update on EverNote and it has gone to a Public Beta which means you can sign up without an invite. This all has been noted in an entry in Paul Thurrott’s Super Site Blog with a complete listing of the more recent additions to the tool. I have been using EverNote for about 2 months now and I find it very good. I do have to admit that now with Microsoft’s Mesh I can use OneNote again and have it synchronize via Mesh. This is also a GREAT tool.
A step away from the software end to a blog that I have found quite interesting for it’s use of introducing new items in the medical industry is Medgadget. Today the FDA approved a Onetouch Ping Diabetes System that communicates wirelessly to an insulin pump. It is fascinating to see technology being used to make life better. There are many gadgets that come up here that are worth noting.
Speaking of gadgets you need to look at Engadget. This is one for the RSS reader (which ever one you use). It comes up with absolutely the latest and greatest of gadgets (some not my style). From Engadget today I was able to find a buy in a workstation that looks rather interesting. Check out this HP xw4550 Work Station starting at $599. Not bad with 2 GB of SDRAM, 160 GB Hard drive – and so on. Follow the link and you can check that out. You buy the box that will run the software just like you buy the TV that will give you the picture you want or the washing machine to wash your clothes. We are all looking for results.
The sad news today is that Starbucks will be closing 600 stores, I sure hope that none of them are where I go.
