Αυτή την εβδομάδα διάβαζα ένα δημοσίευμα από την «θεία Σοφία» στο digital era με τον τίτλο Ακαδημαϊκώς είμαι το παράδειγμα προς αποφυγή. Βασικά το βρήκα αρκετά αστείο γιατί, όπως έγραψα και στα σχόλια, και εγώ στην ίδια κατάσταση

A while back I had starred this ad so that I could go back and see it.Well...I did, and boy is it stupid! The icons with legs - uber-creepy! Yeah, I know I can take microsoft word, excel and powerpoint documents with me, as well as have outlook and twitter on a windows mobile phone, but you couldn't come up with a better way of letting us know that?

Σήμερα μου ήρθε πρόσκληση για το google wave (γιουπι!), οπότε σήμερα δοκίμασα την νέα υπηρεσία. Το κακό είναι πως ακόμα δεν έχω αρκετούς γνωστούς που είναι και αυτοί προσκεκλημένοι οπότε δεν είναι και τόσο χρήσιμο. Παρά ταύτα άρχισα

One of the biggest stories over this past weekend was the Great Sidekick Fail of 2009. As a prospective user (well, OK, low chances of being a prospective user now) this incident is causing a lot of alarms to go off.

I know that this video is old (and I've probably posted it before) but here it is again: Random people asked what a Browser is:Now, I get that most laymen just click on the big blue "e" on their Windows PC, or have a friend that has forced them to use Firefox, but if you are using a tool, don't you want to know a little about it?
