We all know how much VPN(Virtual Private Networks) are valuable to each service on the web and the Client. Along with that we also know how much high costs are associated with each VPN connections.
Today I introduce to you, VPN4Life, a new site that promises a lifetime of private and anonymous access to the internet through their servers for a one-time fee of $50. The company states its mission as
Ever wished to share something with your pals via explaining them why have you shared the particular item? Well then EyeJot’s “EyeJot This” bookmarked is the tool fro you to us this year.
Surely I am going to miss Bill Gates this year, as he wont be giving his keynote at this years CES(Consumer electronic show), instead Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft will be giving a session on the 7th of January 2009 telling us what’s new with Microsoft in 2009.
But I doubt that Steve would come and tell us something new that we already don’t know, unless he pops out a ZUNE Phone out of his pants.
We all know that Nintendo’s Wii and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 have severely hit Sony in terms of decreasing sales of the PlayStation Consoles. But market surveys still show that the PS2 is leading the way in the number of users that play the console games in the US.
Quite extraordinary results, that leave us surprised. Do you still play the PS2?
Are you the one who says this could also be done and that could also be done or should have been done? Are you the one who says if I were the one who had developed this application, i would have done this thing in this particular way or given an added functionality to the app?
Well now you can do all that by supporting Google to know what exactly you want in it’s mobile applications. Google, released its Product Ideas page today that will give you a more collaborative way to get your product ideas heard not only by Google itself but the community as well. The new page, built on Google Moderator, allows you to submit ideas that others can view and rate them as well.
We all thought that Android was only only for mobiles phones right? Well Google has something else in mind and is planning to use Android for any device. Yes I mean any device most importantly as an OS on netbooks! Now that is something awesome!! You see a Asus EEEPC 1000H running the Android OS in the picture above.
We all know Netbooks are basically small-scale PCs, but are one of the tech industries hottest selling cupcakes. And no wonder if the Android OS comes alive, Microsoft could really face a serious threat. Combined together, Linux and Android platforms could lead to the end of Microsoft’s monopoly in the OS market as well. Let alone we have seen already a drop in the browser market share of IE due to Google’s own Chrome Browser and Mozilla Firefox.
We covered the story of outbrain, the new recommendation engine that lets you put recommendations for blogs and news content available on the web, in July.

Yesterday I published an issue with the 30GB Zune describing about the rebooting issue it faced. Today we get another issue about a bug which could not detect a leap year (what immatureness by Microsoft). Sometime around 2:00 AM last night the 31st of December 2008, the 30 gigabyte version of the device became “totally unresponsive and practically useless” and ALL of them, literally ALL of the devices where ever they are on earth were frozen unresponsive.
Microsoft has confirmed the worst on the Zune Insider blog:
Ambient News news is a new Firefox add-on that enables you get RSS feeds with some style. Atul Varma, the Mozilla developer behind the add-on says that teh add-on is an self learning one. It tracks your browsing habits, learning which sites you visit most frequently. Then the add-on automatically creates a list of the latest headline from those sites and display them to you in a list.
Michael Calore of Wired notes says,
First Windows now Zune, Microsoft is really having bad times as seems that a random bug is affecting a bunch, if not every, 30GB Zunes.
The problem was escalated via Fan boards
and support forums this morning. The bug is allegedly stated to be resetting the Zunes on their own and if rebooted they don’t fully reboot.
