There are a number of email plugins that look to give you contextual information about the person you’re communicating with. The first one I tried (and arguably the best I’ve seen) is Xobni, an Outlook plugin.

There’s now a similar plugin available for Gmail users called Rapportive. Rapportive replaces the ads you normally see in the right-hand sidebar with a profile of the person you’re…

Updated see below.

Wireless telecoms giant Vodafone has been distributing malware to it’s customers via it’s mobile phones, a recent blog post from the Panda Research Team shows.

A member of the research team had a brand new Vodafone HTC Magic delivered, a device powered by the open-source Android mobile operating system.

Upon connecting it to her computer, the employee received a warning from her Panda Cloud Antivirus warning her about a potential threat from files already on the…

One Program, Two Platforms!

Did you know that with Small Basic v0.8, you can write a program or a game and have it run identically on both your desktop and the browser? This makes it super easy to share your games with your friends (even those that may be running a Mac).

In fact it is so easy that you can have your program deployed, hosted and running on a browser with just one click of a button! So easy that it might actually be the fastest and friction free authoring environment for…

“This happens. This is something that happens.”

Australian town, 326 miles from river, hit by raining fish:

Lajamanu in the Northern Territory, population 669, has seen hundreds of small white fish fall from rain clouds with many still alive.

Weather experts in Australia believe the fish, spangled perch, were sucked up in a thunderstorm before being dumped over the tiny town.

Mark Kersemakers, the senior forecaster at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, said: “It could have…

Is your desktop cluttered with icons? Do you keep searching for shortcuts or documents among the dozens of icons on your desktop? And when was the last time you changed your wallpaper?

The desktop is the first thing you see when you log into your account. Would you prefer to look at a stunningly beautiful desktop rather than a cluttered, ugly, and frustrating screen?

Bulemia Fail … at Art Of Trolling

***Art of Trolling—though very, very funny—may contain content NSFW (Not Safe For Work)***

Believe it or not, trolling is an art, one that must be perfected through obsessive practice over time. Art of Trolling brings you the finest trolling from the experienced, professional trolls (many of whom majored in trolling at the University of Unterbrücke) who help make the internet as fun and frustrating as it is.

Energie in een doosje: zo beschrijft K.R. Sridhar – oprichter van Bloom Energy – de Bloom box. De Bloom box is een nieuw soort brandstofcel, dat elektriciteit produceert door zuurstof in de lucht te combineren met elk soort brandstof, zoals zonne-energie, gas en biogas. Een Bloom box is voldoende om één Europees huis te voorzien […]

Voorbestemde moleculen: Amerikaanse onderzoekers melden deze week in Science een staaltje van tamelijk onwaarschijnlijke chemie. Ze beschrijven reacties tussen ultrakoude moleculen en hoe ze die kunnen manipuleren met kwantummechanische ingrepen.

While the boys are only 2 and 4, I’m always keeping an eye out on new ways to teach them programming. Certainly I hope they’ll be more well-rounded and I and spend more time outside, but a even a basic background in programming and logic, I think, produces a more empowered individual.

Created by Vijaye Raji, Small Basic is a simple (only 15 keywords) but powerful environment for getting started programming. Great for kids and non-technical spouses, but powerful enough even for the…

We’ve blogged before about our thoughts on the social web, steps we’ve taken to add social features to our products, and efforts like OpenSocial that propose common tools for building social apps. With more and more communication happening online, the social web has exploded as the primary way to share interesting stuff, tell the world what you’re up to in real-time and stay more connected to more people. In today’s world of status messages, tweets and update streams, it’s increasingly…
