I guess every week is really geek week for me. Well, this week seems to be a week with a flurry of releases and announcements from big companies. I noted earlier that Microsoft announced Surface. Palm released its completely worthless Foleo. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs had a public interview together. Unfortunately they didn’t tear each other apart and basically kissed the other’s ass. Now Google has announced Google Gears and Google Maps Street View. Google Gears is a server that can be run locally on your machine to function like the online applications Google already provides. Street View is just what it sounds like. It allows you to view street level views of maps. It only works in a few cities so far, but it’s pretty slick. It only becomes a problem for people when they come out of strip clubs at the wrong time. In other awesome news, one of the top ten spammers in the world has been arrested. Hopefully they will actually put down some punishment that will hurt him instead of putting down monetary fines. While it will be a great day when spam comes to an end, I will still feel sad when people stop emailing me.
