Google Gadgets Beta for Mac

Google has released a beta version of Google Gadgets for Mac . Google’s Mac Blog has provided some neat details about the new release .

This feature brings hundreds of existing Google Gadgets to Dashboard. You can add fun gadgets (such as bowling, virtual flower pot, or YouTube), useful gadgets (weather maps, driving directions, and news), and others that offer daily wisdom for the ages (Confucius, horoscopes, and even a joke of the day!). These gadgets look and behave just like any other Dashboard widget, so you don’t have to learn anything new.

That sounds like fun , Google’s “Gadgets” are mini applications similar to Apple’s own Dashboard Widgets. Google’s Gadgets for Mac are now integrated and installable into Apple’s Dashboard in Mac OS X.

Google Gadgets comes integrated with Google Desktop, a desktop search application also available from Google.

  • Sony Ericsson Wearable Around The Neck

    Compact mobile phone designed for Sony Ericsson. This mobile phone is a personal, friendly object which is wearable around the neck. The user can use the three buttons (Busy, Accept, Reject) to handle the calls. The ‘Accept’ and ‘Reject’ buttons work in the regular fashion while the ‘Busy’ button allows the user to record a message such as ‘I am in a meeting right now’. When the button pressed during an incoming call, the phone plays the message for the caller. The concept of “call priority” is also introduced here. This is a feature which allows callers to set a priority for the call, such as emergency, normal, fun, etc. In return, the peeking display of the device glows with a certain color for certain priority levels when ringing. Hope to see it in the future ?

  • apple spy iphone hackers

    According to one of the members of Hackintosh (XianLi) .The evidence in the code shows that the Stocks and Weather applications send your IMEI number—the unique number which identifies your iPhone and is tied to your personal information—to Apple, along with the kind of app you were using to access the data.

    There is no proof of Apple actually uses this information for any purpose This could be combined with IP location and the information in Apple or its partner’s databases to know what are you accessing, when and from where, all over the world.

    What do you think? Should Apple ask our permission or once you agree to the license, it is ok for them to breach on your privacy?
