Google really seems to be setting the standards here with the NoFollow attribute added to the HTML 5 draft with the description quoted “Indicates that the current document’s original author or publisher does not endorse the referenced document.” . From that definition, I guess I’ll be placing the NoFollow back to my comments as it makes a bit of sense. That’s not all however, the draft seems to be holding quite a lot of new additions, like the sidebar, license, and others.
It’s still a draft, but it’s nice for developers to take an idea at least of where things are going next.
OK, I didn’t know before today about the Scientology, but a group of anonymous seems to be upset by what they call misleading organization delivering fakes as facts, and have vowed to destroy them through this video, which pretty much looks like a trailer for Assassin’s Creed part II!:
If you’ve got 1 year to wait, I would give this thing a chance. Longer life time, no quality degrading over time, better reported quality. Note it’s expected to hit market in 18 months according to the video, which was posted back in Jan 07.
Soon after Yahoo announced they are going to support OpenID logins by end of this month, Google Blogger have become an OpenID provider them selves in the Draft program which anyone can apply to, thus beating Yahoo in live implementation. By checking the new option box in your blogger account, your blogger url will be your OpenID account. That simple, that would bring hundreds of thousands of users pretty quick, but with their OpenID tied to something.blogger.com I’m not sure practical that would be, but I personally prefer not to use blogger account as my OpenID account. I like them separated for future free of movement. It’s more trivial to use the name.myopenid.com to me.
Regardless though, the move is definitely another strong push for OpenID. I can really say now, it’s going to happen. One account for all. It would be years ahead a typical question. “How come you don’t suppor OpenID? Why do I need a new account?”. It’s like going to a shop who dones’t have POS for card payments.
If easy sign-in to Q8igg wasn’t enough to convince you to use OpenID (and obviously it wasn’t :), then here is another one. Yahoo has announced they will be supporting the OpenID 2.0. What that basically means to you who don’t know is, you will sign-up with OpenID once, and use the same account to access all your Yahoo stuff, as well as many other sites that supports it, such as Technorati, Treedolist, Pibb and much more. For a full list of sites supporting the OpenID click here.
With support from the world’s # 1 site coming at the end of this month, there is absolutely no doubt more and more sites are going to go head and use it. So don’t wait another second I say, go ahead and register now! Nobody likes hundred accounts and this thing is the solution, an I’m not getting paid to say so trust me :)
There you go Apple fans. The fastest Apple Mac computer. An 8 core Xeon processors Mac Pro that performs twice as fast as it’s predecessor. The standard configuration starts at £1,749. Not bad really being an Apple computer, and with 8 processors. I think this is the right time to buy Apple shares. Expect their shares to rise. It’s also the right time to sell the shares and buy the new computer :). I am just thinking this is the best thing for small home indexing apps.
What I don’t understand however is this part of the news story “Apple took down their on-line store a few hours ago to apply the updates for the newly announcedXserve (1U rack-mount server) and to introduce the 8 core Mac Pro range….”. Apple website has never appealed to me. It’s always slow, and I don’t really understand why it has to go down everytime they launch a new product. It happened when the new iPods were released, and even after it was released, I literally failed to place the order online because of how slow their site is. If it’s heavy traffic to blame, it means you are making a hell lot of money, so put some more into your online store which is just not able to take all orders. I ended up buying the iPod from Amazon.com, which ofcourse takes percentage of the sale. So it is costing them money eventually.
