Social Media Infographic
I remember seeing thin a form of a tweet, but it’s so much better as an infographic:
Via Geeks are sexy.
Switch to Gmail
Gmail blog announces Switch To Gmail – a new website that should assist all those who haven’t switched yet. On to of that they added email migration support for another 14 domains – mostly Asian Hotmail, Live, and Yahoo sites.
This announcement is surprisingly close to the recent accusation of Chinese government interference:
“This is a government blockage carefully designed to look like the problem is with Gmail,” a Google spokesperson said.
Thank God for the Internet
Today I had one of those “Thank God for the Internet!” moments. Maxim, while going through his pile of toys, found my old Casio watch.
Surprisingly, the battery was still running, the time was accurate, and even the display light was working. He played with the watch for a few minutes, clicking all buttons, checking the light in the dark, and doing all sorts of things kids do to old watches.
Nobody knows how, but he managed to setup an hourly time signal. It’s that annoying little beep that sounds every hour on the hour. Needless to say, the user interface is far from perfect and it is practically impossible to figure it out without a manual. So here comes my “Thank God for the Internet!” moment.
Backside of the watch contained all the information that I needed:
Casio 1572 A168 Stainless Steel Back Water Resistant Made In China
The manuals are online and the instructions to disable Hourly Time Signal are straight forward. I’m posting them here in case my grandkids will find this watch and the battery will still be going.
