Google Takeout - A Quick Way To Take Your Data With You

Google has just launched "Takeout." No this is not a fast food division but a fast data application. This new feature allows you to download everything that you have uploaded and inputted into Google applications. With Google Takeout you can download your contacts, Picasa photos, and your profile information all with a few clicks of a button.

This is a great new feature. It should hopefully help Google's new social network to gain the trust of it's users. It would allow them to download all of their personal information and then be able to close their account. This is a large benefit in comparison to Facebook. As we all know Facebook puts on an attitude that once you upload personal information and documents to Facebook server's; it's theirs and you are never getting it back. With Google Takeout you have the assurance that you can access all of the information you have shared and remove your Google identity from the Internet.

Google Changes Their Look - New June 2011 Interface

Google has just updated their search engine and website design. They have made a few new changes to the homepage and the search results.

Before the change search results had the url under the result. Everything is was very simple and plain. Now they have a new theme with more color. The also have the URL directly under the title. In my opinion I like this new look much more!

Apple Sucks. Stupid iTouch needs to be restored.

For no reason my iTouch decides that it would be a good time to freeze up and make me redo the firmware. Great. I was just browsing in Safari and then the stupid device decided to turn off and reboot with the stupid "Connect to iTunes" screen.

So now I am sitting here waiting for the over sized bloatware to download. I also just realized that I have no recent back-ups of my iPod. These means that all of my settings, contacts, notes, and all my personal information is GONE. Thanks a lot Apple.

Ohh well, at least I just got a new smart phone running ANDROID! SCREW YOU iOS!

Team Fortress 2 Is Now Free!

Team Fortress 2 Is Now Free In Steam! I actually have not played this game. I am not much of a gamer but I do enjoy playing around once and a while. I just heard that Team Fortress Two is now free so I am currently downloading a copy. Too bad it's like 8GB... AT&T really needs to provide some better Internet speeds where I live. Here is a video of the game that I found on YouTube! Looks like fun!
