Two devices for everyone

I think that sometime soon there will be a 100$ laptop suitable for everyone. And the processor and harddrive innovations will only benefit the server hardware. As with an internet connected cheap and reliable portable client hardware, you will have access to all multimedia files hosted on the internet.
Only profetionnals will need big desktop computers […]

Google.cn filtering is not evil

I have been in North-Eastern city of Shenyang in China for the last more than 3 months, using the available 1mbit/512kbit broadband connection here everyday. It’s about 12$ per month for this ADSL connection, which they set-up for you in a day with a technician to come within an hour and setup your computer if […]

Standpoint.com is similar to my TruthEngine.com idea

I would criticize it’s slogan of being the Encyclopedia of beliefs. I don’t really like the word belief, it’s got somekind of religious connotation I think.

World United Nations digital bank system

suggestion: Google Video Assistant

features of this software:
- Google Video Download manager: .gvp downloads are launched in this download manager instead of opening a new Google Video Player for each download. This would be good for managing the download of several videos at the same time. It will display “remaining time until uninterrupted playback”, could pop an alert on […]

Google .gvp and .gvi for using on own website!

I was thinking about the use of .gvp (a small file) and .gvi (the big video file).
Maybe soon the content providers will be able to copy the .gvp to their own server, link to that. People would thus launch Google Video Player when they have this small .gvp file. Google Video Player needs the user […]
