Argh! Doesn’t anyone really think about what they are doing? Do they really think we are fooled by this “caring” email? And, what about all the “barbara streisand” in and around it?
Finally, can they make the font any smaller?
Argh!

SERVICE: Cute little video about calling via GMAIL
Wednesday, February 23, 2011http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/make-and-receive-calls-in-gmail.html
*** begin quote ***
We’re rolling out this feature to U.S. based Gmail users over the next few days, so you’ll be ready to get started once “Call Phones” shows up in your chat list (you will need to install the voice and video plug-in if you haven’t already). If you’re using Google Apps for your school or business, then you won’t see it quite yet. We’re working on making this available more broadly – so stay tuned!

SERVICE: Google’s two factor authentication
Sunday, February 20, 2011Google’s two factor authentication has arrived at one of my accounts.
It’s an excellent idea and turns one’s cell phone into the equivalent of a SecureId token. Maybe better?
Basically, before you turn it on, you have to consider THREE things.
(1) Understand that the initialization process takes a few minutes of your undivided attention. (If you screw it up, then I’m not sure how you fix it.) So “multi taskers” be forewarned.
(2) Understand what you need to do for all things that access your Google Account but don’t support two factor authentication (i.e., you email program). You’ll generate a special password for each of these applications. (It doesn’t say to, but makes it easy to generate on unique on for each such use.)
(3) Understand you have to have a plan if you loose your cell phone (i.e., losing one of your two factors will lock you out). Google allows you to specify another number and to print out a bunch of backup one time use passwords. Don’t fail to do this.
All in all, seems like a good working implementation.
I’d suggest that you do it on a test id. (Like I didn’t. I was excited to see it finally. That’s could be a bad blunder.)
I assume that you can revert if you want to. But I don’t know that for a fact.
Do as I say; not as I do?

SERVICE: DROPBOX client didn’t restart after reboot
Saturday, February 19, 2011Interesting!?!
Could have been disastrous. So there is nothing in the MACOSX operating system that ensures everything that should be in your environment is. And, by extension, nothing that shouldn’t be there isn’t either.
Argh!
What else can’t we see?

SERVICE: GOOGLE starts to make two factor authentication available
Friday, February 11, 2011Advanced sign-in security for your Google account
Posted: 10 Feb 2011 08:30 AM PST
*** begin quote ***
Most of us are used to entrusting our information to a password, but we know that some of you are looking for something stronger. As we announced to our Google Apps customers a few months ago, we’ve developed an advanced opt-in security feature called 2-step verification that makes your Google Account significantly more secure by helping to verify that you’re the real owner of your account. Now it’s time to offer the same advanced protection to all of our users.
2-step verification requires two independent factors for authentication, much like you might see on your banking website: your password, plus a code obtained using your phone. Over the next few days, you’ll see a new link on your Account Settings page that looks like this: …

Now maybe this will embarrass the financial institutions into real security. As opposed to “password theater”.

SERVICE: Amazon Simple Email
Tuesday, February 1, 2011http://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/
*** begin quote ***
Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) (beta)
Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) is a highly scalable and cost-effective bulk and transactional email-sending service for businesses and developers. Amazon SES eliminates the complexity and expense of building an in-house email solution or licensing, installing, and operating a third-party email service. The service integrates with other AWS services, making it easy to send emails from applications being hosted on services such as Amazon EC2. With Amazon SES there is no long-term commitment, minimum spend or negotiation required – businesses can utilize a free usage tier and after that enjoy low fees for the number of emails sent plus data transfer fees.
*** end quote ***
10¢ per thousand emails?
Wow!
That’s going to change the dynamics of the marketplace.
Not as simple as a Yahoo Group. Haven’t played with Google Groups. It requires coding and the use of APIs. I’m sure someone will write an smtp front end that makes it trivial to use.

SERVICE: Why does MOBILEME sync not work
Friday, January 28, 2011Last good sync was 1/9/11. It’s been on lots of different networks. Hooked, litterally, for days to the inet.
Yet, their “sync” can’t sync. CARBONITE, DROPBOX, POGOPLUG — all seem to work just fine.
Maybe they need some “help”?
Sadly, NOTRECOMMENDED!
