One of Google’s rules for employees is that they are allowed (or even supposed??) to spend 20% of their working time on hobby projects. The fruit of these projects is Lively.

Yahoo and Google have a deal

Jun 13th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network, Tech Interest

After all this time, I did not believe a deal with Google would come through, but I am relieved about it. Why? I am not a Yahoo fan. But a big portion of the US has used Yahoo for a lot of services and still does so. 
Microsoft is not the best candidate for a takeover [...]



iPhone 3G, MobileMe and more

Jun 10th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network, GPS Passion, Tech Interest

Yesterday’s keynote by Steve Jobs was very exciting. Somehow Apple always manages to bring the new you think they will, but features are always better than expected, and this time was no exception.

Microsoft and Yahoo’s shareholders show some sweet love

May 7th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network

Where Yahoo (the company) doesn’t want to have anything to do with Microsoft (who blames ‘em), the shareholders come in. Why? For the money obviously. I kinda suspected this was going to happen.

Probably even the rumors about Steve Ballmer leaving are not true, damn. So now it is a matter of time before Yahoo mail [...]
