Inside GMAIL, what really happens when you send an email
2007-08-07 23:36:00
The folks at Google have started a brilliant concept for social submitted videos with this subject: Help us imagine how an email message travels around the world. Take a look at the collaborative video we started, and then film what happens next. We'll rotate a selection of the clips we receive on this page, and add the best ones to the video. The final video will be featured on the Gmail homepage and seen by users worldwide. All it takes is a video camera, the Gmail M-velope, and some creativity. Submit your clip by August 13th, 2007 to be considered for the final collaborative video. Watch the video right here and submit your own 10 second clip to youtube and watch it fly.

The New iMac, the Thin, the Good and the Perfect

The keyboard includes special function keys for one-touch control of Mac features, and two USB 2.0 ports for high-speed connectivity to your iPod, Mighty Mouse, digital camera, and other devices. For the first time, the display is covered by a glass encasing that protects the glossy finish that customers had demanded after the great feedback with the macbooks.... With its anodized aluminum frame and glass cover, it’s striking to behold. The glossy ...

Since then, a number of other theoretical models have also been coined to weigh the business pros and cons of various OSes.read more | digg story...
