Google Pack Offers Free Screensavers Too

Google has added two new applications to Google Pack to help you improve you computer’s security.

The two products are Symantec’s Norton Security Scan which detects and removes viruses and an anti-spyware – Spyware Doctor Starter Edition - from PC Tools.

Both software includes free updates.

I didn’t install those software since I already have the full version of Norton Internet Security 2007.

If you are wary about installing third party screensavers you found on the Internet, Google Pack screensaver application should ease this concern.

Gov.My - The Malaysia Government’s Official Portal

www.gov.my is a website created by the Malaysian government to help members of the public access a host of government websites and obtain information ranging from payment to complaints, applications and services and more.

The website links to 395 online services of ministries, departments and agencies and 3,300 Government forms are available for free download.

The range of information on offer is mind boggling and because of this it is important to have them arranged in an intuitive ways. Currently I think the main page is a little over-crowded. There’s no single focus to guide users to help them find the info they wanted quickly and easily. Every element competes for attention and this lowered the usability of the website.

Yahoo! Mail Is Offering Unlimited Storage

One of the major ‘selling points’ that Google uses to market GMail is its huge storage capacity. With 2.8GB of storage, there’s no need for the users to delete their emails to make space for new ones.

While Google’s GMail is busy adding 0.000001 MB each second to their 2.8GB mail storage capacity, Yahoo! Mail is beating them to the punch by offering a whopping unlimited email storage this May 2007.

Yahoo! Mail is breaking new ground with this move and I expect many competitors will follow suit to stay competitive.

My Cat Clicked On My AdSense Ads

Like all self-respecting and responsible AdSense publishers, I am careful not to click on my own AdSense ads. If I find an ad that interests me, I usually check its URL and type it directly into my browser address bar.

You can also use the Preview Tool to check the destination of ads that are on your page. Ads displayed in the preview tool are in a test state so you don’t have to worry about accidentally clicking on an ad.

Would You Pay $2500 to Get Your Blog Reviewed On Another Blog?

JohnChow.com had seen his ReviewMe price went up to $500 when his blog broke into the Technorati Top 100.

However, as it turned out, Technorati recovered from his evil blog ping attack and his blog was removed from the Top 100 list. This has reduced his ReviewMe price tagged to $300.

I thought the $500 was way too expensive for a review, not until I saw it cost a jaw dropping $2500 to have your blog reviewed by Jeremy of ShoeMoney.com.

Now this makes JohnChow.com ReviewMe price a real bargain.

Malaysian Clones digg

Perhaps in the spirit of ‘Malaysia Boleh’ a Malaysian has cloned the digg website. Cloning without permission from the original creator is one thing, but placing the Malaysian flag next to the digg logo is totally irresponsible.

It gives the impression that Malaysian in general is a bunch of thieves who couldn’t care less about stealing other people intellectual properties. They are basically ripping off the logo, entire layout and text from digg.com.
