Google really wants to, dare I say it… Rule The World! Or at least leave their presence everywhere we go.
We know that Google in the leader in online search, that Google owns Feedburner, Blogger, Jaiku and others (see a list of Google Services and Application), then there’s the Google Phone (gPhone) and the latest post I shared about you guys is the Linux OS with Google Applications - the gOS.
And if that’s not enough, here’s the newest venture of Google - Google at Gas Stations!

Starcraft 2 is still about the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. This sequel to the fast-paced real-time strategy - StarCraft - will once again bring sleepless nights just like the legendary original had done to me many years back - ahhh college years… :)
Browsing the official site of Starcraft 2 made me excited all over again! I remember the old time when my 2 other brothers would play this until the wee hours of the morning!
So, When Is the Release Date?

XDA Zinc comes with an application from Jeyo called Mobile RSS. I’ve been using Windows Mobile-powered PDA Phone for couple of years now and with this blogging mania that I am in right now, this is the best mobile app so far! Mobile RSS is currently my favorite application that come shipped with this PDA Phone.
It’s like there’s an RSS addiction on my blog life! I have RSS reader everywhere - Google Reader on my work computer, Thunderbird on my Linux home PC (and portableapps) and now Mobile RSS on my pocket PC phone!

You can’t. I’m sorry, but Pocket PC as of this writing is not capable of playing FLV files nor it has a third party application that can do it. This is what I’ve discovered whey trying to play some download music video from Yoube on my XDA Zinc Pocket PC.
What Are FLV Files?
Basically, FLV files are flash video files. You’re maybe familiar with other flash video type, the .swf. Well, surprise! There are two types of flash video - FLV and SWF.
SWF are the traditional Flash videos while FLV are enhanced videos that are used in sites like Google Video or YuTube. These files (flv) from youtube and google videos can be downloaded and therefore would be very cool if we’re able to play it on our XDA Zinc! (And show off to people on the bus or MRT! :)

The first time I reviewed IBackup last May, I was mentioning the importance of doing backup and placing it somewhere off-site. Also mention there that the online storage service really accomplished that requirement. This time, let’s do a more thorough second look at the services of IBackup and its notable features.
IDrive for IBackup
If you’re familiar Windows Explorer and the mapping of remote folder, you’ll surely appreciate the IDrive for IBackup. This will enable you to map your online storage account to your local PC so you can easily copy, drag-and-drop, edit files directly on your mapped IDrive.
Web Folders
With Web Folders, you can also access your IBackup account through the use of your web browser. Just like in IDrive you can easily drag and drop files to and from the web browser directly to your online storage.
Web Manager
This is just like Web Folders but with collaboration features for Sharing and Account Management.
Sub Accounts
Still in collaborative online storage and access, with Sub Accounts you can create sub-sections within your main account more access control.
IDrive Multimedia
This feature is for playing streaming media (both music and video) using your favorite Media Player.
IDrive for Mac
The IDrive mentioned above are for the PC. For Mac users, there is also a version of IDrive that is an excellent desktop interface for Mac. Anything that can be done on and IDrive for PC can also be done in a Mac.
ILite
With ILite, the data on your IBackup storage can be accessed using your mobile/handheld devices such as Blackberry, PocketPC and Treo.
To Sum Up….
Like I said in my first review on IBackup, part of a System Administrator’s job is to secure important and confidential corporate/company data. This is the main purpose of IBackup, to backup your important data in a secure and remote place. Now, you can also access and collaborate with peers with its additional features!
These products just keeps on getting better and better.

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a loud buzz - big bang, if you would - on the blog world right now about Google penalizing blogs that are selling text links or are full of sponsored posts.
I’ve been asking myself why my PR dropped from PR4 to PR3 last August and I think, most probably that these are the cause.
Here some reasons why Google penalize a blog and thus decreasing its Page Rank - if not removing it from their index.
- Posting Duplicate Content
- Keyword Stuffing
- Selling Text Links Ads
- and others… Please share…
