"They actually do say that, here in Sweden. In a brochure handed out at SIME07, Google provides a little glossary for the technically challenged, and to my amusement JavaScript is described as follows: JavaScript - scripting language for those who are not programmers, in first hand intended for creating web pages. The translation is mine. The original text in Swedish: “JavaScript - skriptspråk för de som inte är programmerare, som i första hand är avsett får att skapa webbsidor”"

"I’ve previously mentioned that I’ve unsuccessfully tried to migrate my personal domain to Google Apps. I also blamed Google for it not working. I was wrong. It seems that Textdrive has some nifty Apache security going on which denies the Jakarta HttpClient to connect, returning a “412 - Precondition Failed”. Big thanks to Doug for finding this out."

"We’re using Google Apps at Re:mind which is really, really great. So great in fact that I wanted to move my private mail there as well. So after setting the domain up, I created the webpage that was needed for domain activation, put it on my server, clicked the “verify my domain”, and got the usual “this may take 48 hours to complete” It has now been almost two weeks or something like 300 hours, slightly more than 48."

"Google Talk is the thing to mention today so why should I be different? I really hope that it catches on, as it is based on Jabber, which is open, meaning hackable without resorting to reverse engineering and hoping that the protocol does not change overnight as is the case with MSN and ICQ for example. Presence awareness and IM integration in various contexts can provide some really cool features and is considered a killer feature by IBM in their Workplace product for instance."
